Throughout this blog, I am going to breifly go over each of the topics which we where learning about :) so get excited!
Gradient
This websitide is a local industry, which is associated with the Film and Television Association of the Northern Territory. It's combined with Screen Territory, which is a local legalities which helps with funding for local film makers and movies, as they provide some money to help develop the movies/films.
Copy Right
Copy right is used so that it is illegal for other people to use your work, without referring to the person who filed for copy right. There is no registration for copy right in Australia.
"Copy right applies to the author or originator of certain literary or artistic productions for a certain amount of time with exclusive privilege to that person, to decide who has the copies of the same publications and sale. They have the right to control the distribution of their work. Violation of copyright is called infringement." - Peter Houtmeyers.
Patent
Only applies to the country.
Title Search
A talent search is where you are able to see if the title you are hoping to use for your film, has already been used or copyrighted.
Gradient
This image about is an example of gradient. as the blue is fading into white.
It gives images the effect of dimensional, almost as if a light is hitting a certain part of the object.
Flash
Path: by creating a 'path' as a guide in Flash, it will not be seen on the final movie but will act as a path for the made symbol to move along in the animation.
As shown in this image above, the yellow line is acting as a guide for the green monster to move along.
Tweaking: In the image used for path there is a larger circle on the beginning and ending of the line by selecting them both, the symbol will move from one point to the another, along the path.
Frames: the more the frames, the slower the animation vice verser.
Hyperlinks
The internet uses "hyperlinks" to link things together, as in on the internet you click on one thing to get to another, and this is used by hyperlinks.
example: by clicking on blogger, and clicking on my blog in has linked you to this post! Hehe and here you are thanks to hyperlinking!
Content Rating
All media has particular content classification depending on the content it contains and what age group it is aimed towards and suitable for. This helps us distinguish what is suitable for children and what is suitable for adults. It is an agreement and a contract that gives the TV networks permission to air Tv's and movies.
Here is a list of Content rating:
G=General, everyone.
PG= 12 years plus
M= mature audiences
MA15+ = Mature audiences, over 15 years.
R= 18years+
RC= restricted classification, may not be legal in some countries
Talent Release Form
A talent release form is used for actors, it contains all information about what is needed for the shoot and asks for permission to use their image for their filming.
Here a sample Talent Release Form:

"How to Sell Your Script to Hollywood"
In class we were shown this video about how to start up a film, and "how to sell your script to hollywood"
The main points where:
- The ideas start off the script
- you send your ideas to a writer, who will write the script for you.
- You send the script to a movie producer, if they like your idea they will send you a check.
- If you register a film, it does not mean the movie is copyrighted.
Creative commons is made to be able for everyone to use your work without having the hassle of asking the creator for permission. It is a place to share your work, views and ideas to get your point across and available for everyone.

Industry Potential Pitfalls
If a work industry isn't working effectively, it may result in problems being caused in the workplace.
- Poor communicating with a client, the client may not know what they want or they are asking for too much , or they may keep changing their mind.
- The project may go over-time or over budget.
- Technical mishaps.
- Relationships in the production team break down.
-Peter Houtmeyers
Possible solutions:
- Make sure the client and team understand each other. Clarify and define.
- Place a fee for any additions or changes that are beyond the original price.
- Plan, plan, plan.
- Testing your equipment prior
- Test a small selection of each stage of production to make sure it will work as you intended, use prototypes.
-Peter Houtmeyers.
Linear
These are things that can not be changed or altered.
- Movies
- Video tape
- Tv
Non Linear
Things that are changeable.
- PVR/recorded Television

- a website.
So that is everything we learnt in those lessons! This has got to be my biggest blog post yet and I apologise for any boring-ness you may have experienced.
I'll be back next week, once again! See you then :)
