Day 1
My aim for today is to start the web banner, the ILP, the diary, and the checklist. I need to
make sure that I set the right size for the stage size. I have the aim of finishing or almost
finishing the layout of the web banner.
I then needed to import my assest. However, I will not import the music file until
the near the end of the project. I went on to ‘File’ and then ‘Import’.
I then found my asset file and then selected the
images and the video that I wanted to import and
then clicked ‘Import’.
When
extending
the sprite
length of the
background,
I needed to
make it last
for 30
seconds.
Director
works at 12
frames a second, the web banner
needs to last for 30 seconds.
30x12=360. The background’s
sprite length needed to be
extended to frame 360.
I decided to now edit the music. I went
onto Adobe Premiere Pro. I selected
‘New Project’ and I then changed the name of the
project to ‘Greate Night – Edited’. I then went to ‘File’
and then ‘Import’.
I found the file that I wanted to import and then selected it. It
then appeared in the ‘Project Window’. I dragged and dropped it
into the ‘Sources Window’.
I then needed to extend the sprite length of the logo. On my dope sheets, I said
that this part of the web banner would be 10 seconds long. The frame rate per
second is 12. 12x10=120 frames.
I have learnt how to change the stage size on Director. I have learnt how to import image,
video, and music files into the ‘Cast List’. I also learnt how to adjust sprite length in the
‘Score’. I learnt that by pressing the ‘Shift’ key you can keep the images dimensions when
changing its size. I learnt how to add a fade onto an image and how to change the settings
of the fade. I learnt that Director works at 12 frames per second.
Day 2
My aim for today is today is to complete scene numbers 2 and 3 on Director. I also aim to
begin and possibly finish the 4th scene.
I dragged and
dropped the
logo into the 3rd
channel. I then
held down the
‘Shift’ key and
changed the
size of the logo.
I then adjusted the size of the text whilst holding the ‘Shift’
key. I then moved the text to below the ‘Stage’.
In the centre of the text there is a cluster of circles. I
dragged the circles to the top of the ‘Stage’. After watching
the web banner through, I decided that the text needs to
appear earlier than it already does and it needs to be
slower. This can be changed by extending the sprite length
before the frame the already starts.
The end of the text is still cut off so I decided to extend the path (the yellow line
that comes off of the cluster of circles) to above the ‘Stage’.
I watched the web banner through and thought that the adjustment was okay.
I saved the web banner.
I have completed scenes 1,2, and 3. I am now moving on to the 4th scene where
there is a guitar with some text.
I needed to create the text on Photoshop. I opened Photoshop and set up the new
project with a transparent background.
I went on to ‘File’ and then ‘Open’. I selected the image with the
alphabet in the style of the font that I wanted to use. I clicked on
‘Open’.
I then went to ‘Window’ and then ‘Arrange’. I then selected
‘Float In Window’.
I set a grid by
clicking on ‘View’
and then ‘Show’. I
then selected ‘Grid’.
I then selected the ‘Magic Wand Tool’ to and selected the letters that I needed to create the
word ‘GET’. When selecting the letters, to move them I pressed the ‘Ctrl’ key to cut out the
letter.
I have learnt how to create an animation on Director by dragging the cluster of circles in the
centre of the image and then moving it away from the picture creating a path that the
image will take.
Day 3
My aim for today is to finish completing the text in Photoshop and to then import it into
Director. I also have the aim to complete the fourth scene and to start the fifth scene.
I continued to edit the text on Photoshop. I did the same process to create the words
‘Tickets’, ‘Whilst’, ‘They’, ‘Last’. I used the
‘Magic Wand Tool’ to select the letters that I
needed and then I pressed ‘Ctrl’, to move
them across to the transparent background.
I have learnt how to flip and image in Director and how to import assets during the middle
of the project.
Day 4
My aim for today is to complete the web banner and to export it. I also have the aim of
creating the tickets and adding the rollovers onto them.
Firstly, I went onto Photoshop to create the tickets for
the final scene. I started a new project by clicking on
‘File’ and then ‘New’. I used the default settings but
changed the background setting to transparent.
I then went back to ‘File’ and then clicked ‘Open’. I selected the
assets that I needed to create the tickets. I clicked ‘Open’ when I
had found them.
I then went to ‘Window’, ‘Arrange’, and then ‘Float in Window’.
I used the ‘Magic Wand’ to select the ticket. I then pressed ‘Ctrl’
to cut and move the image onto the transparent background.
I selected the ‘Text Tool’ and then created a text box. I used the font ‘OCR A
Extended’ and the font size was 36pt. I then typed the words ‘Under 18’.
I went to ‘File’ and the ‘Save As’. I saved the project as it was
and I then re-saved it as a PNG. I saved it as a PNG by selecting it
as an option in the drop-down menu.
I used the same process for all the tickets.
I now needed to import these new assets into the ‘Cast List’ in
Director. I went onto ‘File’ and then ‘Import’.
I selected all the new assets. I then clicked on ‘Import’.
I dragged and dropped the first ticket into the ‘Timeline’. I placed it
in the 13th channel at frame 313.
I re-positioned it on the Stage.
The last thing that I wanted to do before I exported the web banner was to add a text box
that would tell the user to hover their mouse over a ticket to find out more.
I clicked on the text tool in the ‘Tool Box’. I then clicked on the ‘Stage’ to create a text
box.
I repositioned
the text and I
then highlighted
it. I then right
clicked on and then selected ‘Size’. I then changed the size to
‘18 points’. I then repositioned the text again so that it was
more central on the ‘Stage’.
On frame 915 I opened up a dialogue box and typed in the words ‘go to the
Frame’.
I then played the web banner through to make sure that everything
worked.
I saved the web banner.
I have now finished and now I need
to export it.
