Audio Questions


1.  Why should you use an external microphone?
You should use a professional-grade external microphone instead of the one built into the recording device for the following four reasons:
  • You can select the best type of microphone from a vast assortment of professional microphones to fit the recording setting, subject, and application.
  • You will have greater control over the placement of the microphone and its proximity to the subject, irrespective of where he sound or video recording device is located.
  • All things being equal, a professional external microphone will have better sound recording specs than the built-in microphone attached to your device.
  • Professional external microphones use a blanked XLR connector, which is better for reducing RF interference and other types of transmission noise.

2. What are the two ways to monitor your audio recording? 
  • measuring sound intensity and setting the record levels
  • listening to the audio signal as it is being recorded

Wireframe For Website

The new bakery in town, "Main Street Sweets," has commissioned me to design its online presence.  Its mission is to be a homey and comfortable spot for teenagers or adults to hang out at or bring homework or work to.  They also have an event room to host birthday parties, small groups, study groups or other events of that type.  The main purpose of their website is simply to display their goods and the atmosphere of the place.

Because Main Street Sweets contains a private events room, they have a webpage to display what it looks like and give people an idea of what their event could look like.  The text on this page describes the space, what type of events are held there, and also convinces the reader to hold their next event there. ...

Usability

Usability       Usability measures how well a person can experience an interface.  This includes organization and having the necessary help menus.  Usability is essential to a persons experience simply because if a website or system is unusable, then the consumers will be unable to use it, which makes the website or system rather pointless, ineffective, and useless. Learnability Learnability determines how quickly a user can perform simple things on the interface during their first experience with it.  This ®refers to when the design is predictable and consistent throughout the website.   Efficiency  Efficiency encompasses how rapidly a user performs tasks on an interface after they have learned.  While this may sound ridiculously similar to learnability, it differs in that learnability refers to a user's original interactions with the interface while efficiency is about the effort required throughout multiple visits to the interfa...

Photography Questions

1.  What is meant by White Balancing a camera? Because light appears as different colors, White Balancing a camera is essential to make your photos the correct color.  White Balancing a camera makes it add the opposite color to the image to make the color temperature neutral.  When the White Balance is off, whites appear to be blue or orange.   2. What is considered the "golden hour"? Golden hour refers to the time just after sunrise or just before sunset.  It isn't actually 60 minutes, as the length depends on where you are, what time of year it is, and the weather conditions.  The light at these times appears magical.  Why is this?  Well, the light at this time is in the yellow range of the light spectrum.  It also has to travel through more atmosphere than when the sun is at different points in the sky, so the light is softened and reduced.   3.  What is the color temperature of daylight, and what is its general hue?
