The first improvement that i would make would to to add a page which breaks the films into sections describing what type of films they are and who the audience would be aimed at . This will be a good improvement as customers will immediately be able to know whether it is their type of film and also whether they would enjoy it.

The second improvement that I would make to my website is to add pictures of each of my films on the page therefore the customers would not have to watch the trailer to re jog their memory and may instantly know if the film is worth watching or that it is a film they have seen before. This would save the customer a lot of time but also the use of images makes it more attractive.

The third improvement i would make would be to create another page which contains a database, this database will hold all information showing other people’s views comments and star rating on specific films therefore students can know whether it is a film worth watching and also if it is worth their money. This makes the reviews page worthwhile and also has a good impact on the website.

The fourth improvement i would make would be to make my logo more presentable. I believe if my logo was larger and more noticeable it may attract the customers into spreading the name of the website as it is something that will catch their eye. However when stretching my logo the image then blurs and pixelates this is something I believe would be a good improvement.

As I was creating my own website I had to assure that the navigation on my website was easy to use for the customers. I have done this by creating a table of links at the side of the page which had clear headings stating the pages my website contains. The buttons were hyperlinked to the correct page that they want to visit. On my website there is a comments box on the reviews page. I have used this on my website so i can improve it and I can take customers opinion. To do this you have to type in the film name and then writing your review in the comment box below. This will automatically submit your review. 

When creating my website I had to use the coding to put the YouTube trailers in this is then linked to an individual page which is hyperlinked to the title of the films.  This is done with html coding. I had to click on the design view then open the correct bar and copy and paste the html. This is used with anything on the web. Audio and visual elements I have 11 trailers on my website that have sound and video that work. I had to embed the code and place it in the right place to ensure that the customer could view any of their choice.  People are able to watch theses trailers through the website by just clicking on the name of the film.

Hierarchy is what separates the page in the order. This order is what is most important and it is done through the size, colour, shape or font. In my website I have placed my logo in the same position on all of my website pages and this is my own product that I made In a mix of photo shop and illustrator this contains the school name of the film club and other images.

TCP/IP protocols map to a four layer conceptual model.The four layers of the model are: Application, Transport, Internet and Network Interface.Each layer in the model corresponds to one or more layers of the seven layer Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model; (application layer, presentation layer, session layer, transport layer, network layer, data-link layer and physical layer).

Internet Layer- The Internet layers are responsible for addressing, packaging and routing functions. The core protocols of the Internet layer are IP, ARP, ICMP and IGMP.

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)

 This protocol is used by the Web. It expresses how messages are formatted and transmitted. It allows the Web server and browsers to response to various commands. For example, when you enter a URL into browser, it actually sends an HTTP command to the Web server directing you to Web page

The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) - This is the resolution of the internet layer address to the network interface layer address such as a hardware address.

Transport Layer - The Transport layer is responsible for providing the Application layer with session and datagram communication services. The core protocols of the Transport layer are Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP).

The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) - This provides problem solves and reporting errors due to the unsuccessful delivery of IP packets.

The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) - This is for the management of IP multicast groups.

UDP provides many connectionless and unreliable communications service. UDP is used when only small amounts of data are transferred. When the overhead of establishing a TCP connection is not wanted or when the upper layer protocols provide good delivery.

Application Layer- This gives applications the ability to access other layers and defines the protocols that applications use to exchange data. There are many application layer protocols and new protocols are always being created. The most popular application layer protocols are those used for exchanging user information. These are HTTP, FTP and SMPT.

SMTP(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)

This is a protocol for sending e-mails between servers. E-mail systems that send mail over the Internet use SMTP, to send messages from one server to another the messages can then be retrieved with an e-mail client using either POP or IMAP. In addition, SMTP is used to send messages from a mail client to a mail server. This is why you need to specify both the POP or IMAP server and the SMTP server when you configure your e-mail application.

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

This is used to the interactive file transfer.

The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMPT)

This is used for the transfer of mail messages and attachments

Before and After Website Improvements

I decided to use this background colour as it reflects the schools uniform. This represents the school and anyone using this who is at the school will know why these colours are important. I give key information in a bright bold font therefore it is easily recognised. I also used the crown to resemble the school logo.

I decided to have a master slide and for the layout of the heading and the sue of the crown the same in all slides. This makes it look more professional and presentable for the viewers. The use of the clear layout of the films makes it easy for the reader to see what film they are paying for this month.

 The layout of the trailers makes it easy for the viewers to access and gives them information and a slight preview of the film they could be watching this week. This is a good persuasive technique to persuade the viewers to purchase this months film if they like the look of the trailer.

The payment page is clear and easy to use this again is very similar to the other slides with the colours resembling the school colours. The home button to take you back to the index page is very clear where you can then pick the next page you want to go to. This page is very easy to use with the boxes that need to have information entered is clear and labelled.

 This page is where the users can leave a comment and a star rating on what they thought of the film this can help give other users an indication on how good previous films were. The page layout is clear and makes it easy for the user to use and achieve the purpose of the page which is to leave a comment.

There are several security risks that could damage the computer or even leave you at risk. These are thing such as:

·         Viruses: Viruses are programs that are specifically designed to steal data from another computer or even corrupt it completely. Viruses are commonly hidden as downloaded files from the internet, or in attachments you are sent via email etc. If these files are downloaded the security of the computer is breached due to doing things such as shutting down anti-virus software and even stopping a computer from doing basic actions. If a virus makes its way on to a website it can spread to the computer of everyone that uses the site. So it is not only the computer hosting the website that is affected by this.

·         Hacking: this means to illegally gain access to someone else’s computer for any reason. The most common reason this is done is to steal or delete a specific piece of data but another reason this would be done is for the purpose of downloading viruses onto the computer. When hacking you have to re programming the system so it will perform functions that were not previously authorised by the actual owner of the computer.

·         Identity Theft: This means to steal another person's personal information over the internet. This is usually done by hacking or creating false website examples of this can be bank details, your address or phone number really anything you do not wish to be shared. Identity theft over the internet is very common. This is because many people enter their details into a form on the internet before checking if this is a secure and safe website.

Security Protection Mechanisms:

There are some ways you can prevent this from happening and protect your computer these are things such as firewalls, passwords etc.

·         Passwords:  The point of password strength defines how easy this password be to work out. Passwords that contain a combination of randomised numbers and both lower and upper case letters are the hardest ones to work out and will keep you the most secure this is due to their being a mixture of all 3.

·         Firewalls - A firewall is part of a network that is designed to stop anyone who does not have authorisation but is still trying to gain access. It will grant or deny network transmissions based on certain rules that are in place. There are two types of firewall these are software and hardware. The hardware firewalls can be included as part of a router. Whereas software firewalls are programs that are on the computer, an example of this is Windows Firewall. The use of a firewall is also to help prevent the spread of viruses, so if your computer is infected, there is less chance that the virus can be transferred to other computers.

·         SSL – This stands for the secure socket layer. This provides security for communications over the internet. SSL encrypts the data of network connections above the transport layer and at a lower sub-layer of its application layer using a keyed message authentication code for message integrity. Websites with SSL will have a certificate to show that they are secure websites; this will make people far more likely to use the website.

Cloud Computing:

 Hardware and software programs are delivered over a network and seen as a service, these are not stored on the user's computer instead they are stored on a network at a different single location. This means less storage space is used up on the user's computer; the use of this reduces the number of performance and also intensive actions the user's computer must undergo. The user has to log in to the service to gain access then they can easily be able to use the programs they need to use.

Web 2.0

Web 2.0 sites may allow users to interact with each other in a social media dialogue as makers of user generated content in a virtual conversation, in contrast to websites where people are limited to the passive viewing of content. Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services; web applications. Social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites and web applications are all in the same category. Web 2.0 uses JavaScript this is to make it able to upload or download new data from a web server without having undergoing a full page reload. This allows users to be able to interact with the page by separating communications For example data requests going to the server and data going back to the page. A few examples of this is the Timeline on twitter, this will constantly continue to refresh itself even though the user does not refresh the another example is comments section on YouTube which will refresh whilst a user watches a video.

Web blogs

Web blogs are usually linked with social interaction in a virtual world between users this is usually done by the passing of information sent from different IP addresses along a server to then a different user who then receives the sent message. This allows users to interact with each other and pass messages along a server. The server will then be given a timer to refresh automatically which will then allow the page to update so the users can then see new comments that have been sent or a message that has been delivered to them all this refreshing of the page allows the information to pass.

Online applications

Online applications are now used and more successful due to the updating of modern technology such as smartphones and android markets. Online applications use cloud computing as this is not done from the user’s computer. Apps on phones are now very popular especially when it comes to iPhones or top of the range smartphones a number of apps become a huge success.  The apps are a document saved onto a server for example the app store this then can pass information to another users computer for example after you download from the app store it can be saved onto your computer.

The download speed can vary and depends on many things these can be effected how fast others can use the internet depending on how big the download. If it is not a strong connection of broadband the download may slow down others who are connected to the same wifi and cause there devices to not work as fast.  The speed of the computer or device you have could depend on the performance of it and how enhanced it is. The more ram and the better processer speed means that the computer will be able to handle and process the information quicker therefore your browser speed will increase and the pages will load much quicker.  The cache memory will allow certain pages that you have previously visited multiple times before to load quicker and the computer to process information for example as I frequently use Google this will be a page that loads quicker than most others.

The web server capacity depends on what broadband company the computer is connected to, high download speed and amount of  information it can process such as virgins 100mb fibre optic cable allows the computer to process the information and load websites quicker for example Facebook or websites with a lot of display content that needs to be loaded.  On the other hand though if there is a slow broadband download speed this means that the downloading of information may be slow and restricts how fast this can be done. It may also affect other people connected to the broadband and slow down how fast their device can connect and process information. The server for this company needs to be of high quality as if one website has loads of hits such as beyonce tickets being sold if the servers cannot deal with high amount of hits in a small timeframe this will cause it to crash. Also the faster and stronger the server is it will allow you to use multiple applications at once which may end to be done in some circumstances such as fireworks etc. This then needs to be have enough to use bitmaps vectors and other applications.

With my improvements for m1 I have changed the font of my text to make it seem more professional and also a different background so the texts and colours of the box’s stand out more. The colour of the text box’s and font are now more effective on catching the audience’s eye and looking as if a lot of effort has went into the work.

On this slide I have re arranged the text and photos so the photos look as if it is  a book opening. Each part of this contributes to the slide looking profound and professional. 

I have used The rest of the slides have minimal corrections which consist of a change in font and the text and font colour and also the picture of the owl I have changed. This makes it seem more fitting and the pictures stand out on the page to capture the audiences eye.

In this slide I have changed the picture in the centre of the slide to make it more appealing and I also added the text which seems more friendly and inviting to the audience.

copyright legal requirements

Throughout the presentation I have various logos and images to help make my presentation look more professional and better presented. The first image I have used in my presentation is the owl on the first page. However I did not create this image I used it from this website; http://www.loripuente.com/book-in-the-works/ therefore I do not own the copyright for this image so I cannot take credit for it. The next logo I made myself is the one who is on the first frame I made the logo look like a book with a pair of glasses this is because this may reflect intelligence and reading which may link to English. The final piece of imagery that I have used is the photo of classrooms around the school and students work. I own the copyright for these images as I have taken them round the school however the images of work is not my own pieces of work it is from English students from Kingswood. 

annotated presentation

Future improvements i believe i could make when looking to develop my project is that i should of give myself an extra slide describing and informing the reader on the English department further such as a list of the teachers who teach the subject and the key subject.

Multimedia Product Review on Ryan Taylor

This project of Ryan’s is fit for purpose as it gives us an insight of the Art Department such as year 8’s work  and it also presents information for students work in 6^th form . It showcases a few pieces of work that students of all ages created. All the media in this text like images relate to Art and learning and is appropriate as everything is related to the department and it is all Ryan’s own creation. The links to the ‘Year 8’ pages and ‘year 9’ sections of the product both work well and all the buttons work well.

Ryan’s project looks very professional and is similar in how it works because everything does what it is supposed to do such as animations working also that it contains information relevant to the department. The colours in the product look good together; because of the splatters of paint which make the background very vibrant and attractive but also relates to the art department.

Recommendations for Improvement would be things such as providing a bit of text to explain what the pieces of art were and to add more examples of students work. The 3^rd improvement would be telling us about the department such as the teachers in the department etc.  The final improvement would be the year 7 and 10’s work so we can see how taking art improves your artistic skills when you take this course and how they develop.
