RSS...
A RSS stands for a Really Simple Syndication and it's a format for spreading news and other web stuff. When you put whatever you want to send into a RSS and send it to someone else or their website, it's called a feed.
You can add a whole heap of stuff to a feed and each feed contains a list of items (an index) and each one is identified by a link to the content of your website. Most RSS feeds include a title for the link and a description of the content.
RSS feeds keep your audience totally updated without having to actually go to your site, for example, in a software company's website people can miss out on important tech articles or updates if they forget to check it but by feeding it to them they won't miss out.
Feeds are different from email because it's more like a link to your website but it also has a description to get people to want to read it.
Reading feeds is similar to using a radio, the station sends out programmes and you use the radio to pick it up at home. With RSS you send out your content in a RSS feed and subscribers use a newsreader to read it.
You can find the feeds you want to subscribe to by setting you reader with your preferences and it will collect the feeds you're interested in every time there is an update.

what are storyboards?
1. storyboards are arranged to represent the events of a story which will be filmed
2. a storyboard acts as a visual script for lighting, camera angles and most importantly the narrative development or in other words, how the story goes
3.if a storyboard isn't with a script then it's harder to picture how the film will flow and because it's in written form then you could misinterpret the descriptions and film it completely wrong
4.the main type of storyboard is the Production Storyboard
5.the painting storyboard is a sequence of images to show the visual style of what you're filming
6.TV storyboards are filmed and produced by advertising agencies for their clients
7.the narrative elements of the story in the film are the characters, settings, conflicts and the resolution.
8-10.to make a film more interesting the people making it break it into different parts and these parts are called moments. the moments are categorised as atmospheric, narrative and critical. this is an important storyboarding tool because not all events are critical but are needed to help with the narrative or atmosphere
11.an establishing shot is used to establish the setting or atmosphere of the scene, it's all in the name
12.a mid shot is used to focus on a person because it's from head to toe
13.a low angle shot is shot lower than eye level and makes the subject look bigger and more powerful while a high angle shot is shot higher than eye level and makes the subject look smaller
14.to start a storyboard you need to come up with a narrative
15. next you break up the plot into moments then scenes then shots
16. next you pencil in the scenes ans shots
17.when you analyse it you look for mise en scene, montage or camera angles that will help to enhance the scene
18.when you 'flesh out the scene' you add digital photos, clip art or drawings and add more detail to the shot description

broadband questions
1.broadband is and internet connection which is typically faster than dial up.
2.bandwidth and transfer speed are quoted in 2 different units: kilobits per second, abbreviated to kbps and kilobytes per second, abbreviated to KB/s.
3.most broadband is at least 4 times faster than dial up.
4.broadband services typically operate at a maximum speed of 1.5 megabits and dial up services typically at a maximum speed of 56 kbps.
5.broadband is better to download a video than dial up because it has higher bandwidth.
6.the wider the pipe the more water can get through to fill the pool but the speed the water travels doesn't change just the amount able to get through. therefore the higher the bandwidth the more data able to get through and the faster the download. ta da, my awesome explanation!
i know that i didn't do the statistics part of it but i'll do it in another blog later because i really want to post this so it's over and done with.

short video differences
Video Pocket For PC (218 kbps)
bit rate- 218KB
display size- 208x160 pixels
frames per second- 20
space required- 532 KB
High Quality Video (Small)
bit rate- variable
display size- 320x240 pixels
frames per second- 25
space required- will vary based on content
High Quality Video (Large)
bit rate- variable
display size- 640x480 pixels
frames per second- 25
space required- will vary based on content
dv-avi (pal)
bit rate- 30 mbps
display size- 720x576 pixels
frames per second- 25
space required- 71.25 Mb
Okay well... i saved the video as dial up and IDSN. they both are equally bad and i can't spot a real difference between them. theoretically IDSN should be better because it's saved as 131Kb and dial up is saved as 107Kb but that's not much of a difference either so we can't really tell the difference.
