2.1 Demonstration of Encoding Video for Various Resolutions and Platforms

 What will happen when i encode the short film i made into resolutions and platforms?


 Youtube is a Prime example when it comes to streaming and uploading media and encoding them into various platforms. 

The video project that i've already uploaded to youtube are in these qualities: 



My video on Youtube was exported in as 1080p, the user in this video can adjust the quality to help see the video better on whatever their device is, the number of pixels that are displayed on their screen will display the image differently, the higher number of pixels identified on the screen means that the image/video can automatically display it in different qualities (depending on how many pixels), the size of your device can affect the results on the resolutions displayed and a higher number of pixels might be required to display the image more clearly. 

Here is an example: A video exported to a minimum 1080p HD will be more compatible to a HD television/other device if that device's resolution or screen size relies on that number of pixels to display a more clear image.


Video Exporting (for Youtube) allows for you to upload videos onto the actual website without costing any file storage on your device (like MB or GB etc.), the max length you can upload a video is 12 hours (that's a lot), the max file size you can upload to a computer is 128 GB and the site will accept certain video formats such as: 3GPP, AVI, FLV, MOV, MPEG4, MPEGPS, WebM and WMV. MPEG4 etc. These type of formats commonly uses the Mp4 File to allow the user to view the video, whilst Mp3 files do not visually show the video and only displays audio instead. 

(Note some of the information is sourced by google and it is all written from research)

In Vimeo, the max file size for a video is limited to 500 MB per week for free users, in the pro upgraded version (yes that costs money) up to a whopping 256 GB.

The Max video length will vary on the file size so the statistics will be unknown until you find the results, the accepted video formats is: MOV, MPEG4, MP4, AVI, WMV, FLV, MKV, 3GPP etc. Youtube and Vimeo are similar in various ways including their purposes as they are both American video sharing websites. Youtube supports 240p as it's Minimum Dimension (Aka the quality of the video) and 4K (HD), whilst Vimeo Supports 240p as the same Minimum Dimension as youtube but it's Maximum Dimension is a whopping 8k, thats double of the amount of pixels that will be displayed on a screen.

How I Exported my Video

After i completed my project i went to the files section and clicked Export;


Then i selected the Media;


There will now be a selection of options on how would you want to export the video such as the formats and the option to choose where you will export or even publish your finished video.




You will need be signed in to an Account in order to publish the video, and so i have used a google account to sign in. 



Once signed in i have edited the Title and the Description and have selected the export button, once loaded i went to the Youtube website and clicked manage videos (this is where i can choose to make this video public or not and even change the thumbnail etc.)


 
Here you can read the statistics of your videos whether they are public, private or unlisted and other bits of info like the date of uploads or the length of the videos etc. From here all of them are currently unlisted which means only people with the link can only view them as this video is not made for the world to see. 

 
Here is the link of my video for proof of my upload: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKJ7Ok8kK-g 
  
Update: I am going to encode and upload more videos in the near future using Youtube and Vimeo in different formats (for different outcomes)

How to set up a Tripod 1.1: How it is Used,

 A Simple guide of setting up a Tripod Step 1: Start by releasing the tripod legs, in order to do so you must extend the tripod legs, the best method of doing it is to extend from the top down rather than extending from the bottom leg section up. This will help make your tripod more stable that way. Step 2: Release each leg in turn of the height you need. It's better to extend all of the tripod legs to the maximum length rather the getting the height you need for a centre column. Note: only extend the centre column if you need to. As you place your tripod to the ground make sure that once you mount your camera (like a Canon) the leg should be pointing forward and the two side legs should be adjusted so that you will be less likely to knock the tripod during recording. Step 3: Now that you're done, you can now attach the camera to a base plate of the tripod, each tripod will include a baseplate), which clips/clamps the camera into place into the head of the plate...

Evaluation of what I did on Monday 23rd of November 2.1 Planning and Filming,

 What I previously did I have created a visual effect with a spaceship flying using green screen. There is a trick into making this effect, to make it work you will need a prop that looks like a spaceship using invisible thread. To perform the effect first you must set up your green screen, once you've done so you can then get the thread ready and cut it into any length you wish, once you are done you can then tie the tread and connect it to the spaceship, the thread will be hard to notice if the lighting isn't directly pointing to the string. I have created clips of the spaceship using a canon and recorded some clips, once I am happy with what I recorded, I started using Adobe Premiere Pro 2020 and added the clips to my project, once done I have went to google and chosen an image, the one I selected will be the background for the clip. Here is an example of what i have done:

How to use a Camera (Canon) 1.1: How it is Used,

Using a Camera (Canon)  Step 1: To turn the camera on there is an on and off switch on the top right end above on the camera, flick the switch up if you want the camera switched on or flick the switch down if you wish to switch it off. Also take the cover off the lens so you can see what’s displayed on the screen. Step 2: look at the Icons on the top of your camera, you can twist them left or right to select different modes, though personally it’s easier if you just use the regular photo and video mode since they are simple and are one of the most common uses in many movie projects. Step 3: make sure you adjust the camera lens so it will help with focus by twisting it left or right, Behind the lenses you can twist the stick as well to help zoom in and out, or you can press the + button with the magnifying glass symbol. Press the + button a few times and it will zoom back out.  Step 4: You can press the camera icon button once if you are taking a photo, you can press the camera...
