D2 Report
On this task I will be writing a report on the amendments that I have made towards my tour and the benefits that the amendments have brought towards the tour.
The advantages that the amendments brought to my tour is that all of the text is now clearer and easier to read and this is because I rewrote all of the text that was unclear and was hard to read, this also makes it easier for people who cannot see properly and when they read the amended version they will read it with much greater ease. Also there was the fuzzy image that I had (the one with the teacher) even though I had to take a completely new photo, the new photo is better than the first one because the photo is clearer and much more view-able plus when someone views the tour and goes onto the teachers and the gallery sections they will be able to see all of the images better, also you can see the teachers face and it gives insight of who most of the teachers are. Before I had amended the "home" button it was 'in hiding' because it was hiding behind the images and the text, then after I had amended it, the viewer could see it better making it easier for people to find and to use, in order to get back to the start.
The sections that I could improve on are:
The Screenshot above shows all of the images and the suggested changes that I would make would be: to possibly make the images glow in a colour that keeps the viewers interested.
The screenshot above shows that the change that I would like to make to my tour.
This screenshot shows another change that I would like to make to my tour and that will be to make the text zoom in and then zoom out again
The two screenshots above shows the improvements that I would like to make to my tour

The sections that I could improve on are:
- The Department
- The Gallery
- The Text
The Screenshot above show two of the suggested changes that I would like to change about my product and those changes include: making the text zoom in and bolder, also making the text pulsate.

M3 Amendments
In this documents I will be showing the before and after shots of my tour and the amendments made and stated by David.
The Screenshot above shows that I needed to the size of the text of the "classroom" button and to fill in the space that was in the middle of the buttons.
The screenshot above shows another amendment the David Suggested that I amend because the image is blurry and you cannot really see his face.
The screenshot above shows that I have made the amendment of that of the last image of the teacher was blurry but now this image is now less blurry and you can see his face more easily.
The screenshot above shows that I have made the amendment of making the "home" button much clearer and much easier to find.
The screenshot above shows that the text isn't the same as the rest as the other pieces of text on the tour.
The screenshot above shows that the text is now the same as the rest of the tour and it is much now easier to read
The screenshot above shows that I have made amendments (suggested by David) and I have re-sized the text of the "classroom" button and I also have filled in the space that was there before.
The screenshot above shows that another amendment that I had to make, and it was that the "home" button was almost completely hidden behind all of the text and images but still clickable.

P6 evaluation
In this document I will be evaluating David Hynd's tour and I will be give my thoughts on what the tour was like and I will review what I thought of his tour.
David's tour was very smooth in the transition between links on the information and the information that was given was very clear to read and is at the quality of that of the Media Department and the smoothness of the complete tour is at top quality. The logo's and the colours of the backgrounds are pretty smart and pretty cool the way that the colours of the vines intertwine with each other, the Green and Black colours go very well together. The visual presentation of Davids tour is an excellent form of creativeness and with the added effect with the "directors cut" made it seem that it is for the media department and it stays throughout the tour. All of the media elements are appropriate because it fully fits in with his chosen department and the smoothness that it produces makes it even more appropriate and the transition the prove needed for the appropriateness of the department. From when viewing upon Davids tour I believe that it is completely fit for purpose because it completely goes in with his department and it is very smart of how he applied what he applied to his tour and I also believe that it works without any errors (besides the videos that he placed into the tour), also the colour scheme that he produced for his tour is completely and strictly fit for purpose and is completely professional for his chosen department, I believe that Davids tour is very easy to use and to work and also it is not confusing in the slightest because everything is interactive. The Image below shows that Davids videos didn't quite work properly but other than that all of the tour works properly and is very professional mainly because of the way it is laid out and the way that it is presented.
The amendments that I would say, would be: the videos will need to be embedded on to the tour, at the end of the tour when it fades away it doesn't go back to the start so it's a possibility bring it back to the start by using a button, also there is a change that he could use the panorama, could use more images or more multi-media, possibility that you could include some music (to liven things up slightly), also David could get some images of the media teachers so that the people that are using his tour can see what teachers are in the department

P3 legal requirements
In my Virtual Tour I have made my own music which I made by using "Garageband" also I took my own pictures and for the text I used the Text from the Kingswood School Website but I rewrote most of the text that I included in this tour. In the Pictures that I took the people in those pictures knew full well that I was taking those pictures. None of the above has been plagiarized and I had full permission to take the pictures that I needed and for the music that I created it doesn't come into breach of any copyright law because it is my own work. But for the text that I have Included http://www.kingswoodschool.com/page_viewer.asp?page=ICT&pid=58 and this link goes to the place in which I got the necessary information from.

P5 testing
I have completed my first draft of virtual tour and I have included music which caused me some problem as in the music wouldn't place past a certain frame but I have managed to solve this problem. I solved this by inserting a "key frame" into each of the beginning slots in the script then inserting the necessary sound that I wanted to put into the tour and now it works without a problem. I have also included forwarding button onto the "Home" section of this tour, the screenshot below shows that I have included a button into my tour and that it works properly in the before and after effect.
The screenshot below shows that I have included transitions into my tour and it works to the full extent that I wanted it to and eventually these images will disappear off the screen
The screenshot below shows another transition but with all of the images (that I took myself) and placed then into a gallery with all of the image in a messy state then eventually they tidy up
I have created links onto the buttons in which allows the user to go to that specific section of the tour and every time the user clicks onto the "home" button music will play but when the user clicks onto another section then the music would stop.

M1 improvements unit 43
I have chosen the black and purple colour scheme because I believe that those two colour's go together in the department that I am doing. Also the improvements that I have made is that even though I have changed the background colour I have also included a logo into this tour. This would meet the users requirements because it would be easy access for those who will use this tour and it will have all the necessary information and images that will be crucial for those who like IT. The font size and style would be Verdana (body) with the size ranging from 12 - 28 this would be because people who cannot really see that well but they will be able to see the heading of what section of the tour that they are in because of the size of the lettering and I will be including images into each section of the tour so the people who are visually impaired can see what is happening and with the colour of the background it would make the images standout even better and it is every eye-catching (in a different sense).

Unit 43 P1
The department that I have chosen to do the IT department and I have chosen to do the IT department because I believe that the IT department is a major factor in the future endeavors of the school as a whole. Also I believe that the IT department will attract a massive audience because more students will want to get either GCSE's or A-levels in the subject. The platform the the IT department uses is mainly PCs (personal computers) and the students will use the PC to create certain Internet and computer system based software, like Illustrator and Dream weaver.
Sounds/ Audio
Sounds and Audios can be used in virtual tours for the people who cannot see very well and this will help so the parents can easily understand what it is like in the department that I have chosen to do and the purpose of adding sounds and audios is to inform parents (who have a loss of sight) what the IT department has to offer and it fits well for the purpose because if the parents think that the sound and audio are well presented then it is going to make the department and the school look more professional. The audience of the sounds and audio would be the parents of potential students because the parents would want to get the general idea of what the major departments are like (Maths, English, Science and IT). The main business objectives of the school is to promote the school as a whole and the IT department is the main contributor to the promotion.
Images
The Images can contribute to the people who are audio impaired and for those who don't have the time to watch on line videos of the school and their departments, the audience for the images and this virtual tour would be parents and or elderly guardians because elderly guardians may not be able to listen to sounds and audios as well as they can and for the parents, they might not have much time to actually watch any videos or to listen to any audios that this tour may offer, this fits well with the purpose because the viewer may be hard-of-hearing and may not be able to hear what is going on. Also images can be used to promote the IT department and the school because images can be used in the newspapers/ letters, on electronic systems like computer websites. The purpose of an image is to inform in the basic sense, what is happening and also the purpose fits well with the parents because it may help them get an understanding of what is inside the school and check to see how hygienic it is.
Videos
Videos can be used for virtual tours for people who are audio impaired, also videos can be used for gaining greater information about a certain department then you would from looking at images or audios because you can hear can see what is happening in that department and you will not be able to hear what is in an image or you will not be able to see what is in a piece of audio, this would fit in well for the audience and its purpose because you are getting a visual insight of what is going to in that department. The audience would be the parents because they might not clearly understand what may be happening at the school and more importantly the departments inside and the videos would help to clear up any confusion about what the department does. Also videos can be used for a wider scale promotion because it can be posted on the Internet and the Internet travels across the world in a matter of minutes. The main purpose of having videos in a virtual tour is explain to the parents why the IT department is a crucial department.
Navigation
Navigation is how easy it is to get around a certain "area" and in a virtual tour you can control where you can go within the certain department and obviously the easier it is to navigate the greater chance of the viewers getting more interested in the school. The audience would be the parents that are trying to go through the virtual tour. Also while the viewers are navigating the tour they be getting shown certain advertising (possibly) and also this would help with the promotion of the IT department because if the viewers find that navigating this virtual tour easy then they might tell their friends and family and then the school will become more over-subscribed with students wanting to come the school. Also with the navigation might come some educational matters because the parents might be learning how to navigate a website much easier then they have originally thought. The main purpose of the navigation is to make it easier for people to get around websites easier and without much hassle.
Text
Text is a body of words that come together to form a paragraph and when this virtual tour is completed, text might be included. The audience would be parents that think that images and videos could be damaging against their children and that text would be more educational. The main purpose of the text would be to inform the parents in a more professional form of how the IT department works and what happens. Ways to promote by using text would be going into the newspapers and writing a piece about the department, the business objectives of the text would include web pages, digital posters and educational purposes. This also fits well with its purpose because anyone can view the digital posters and or normal posters and they can be posted anywhere and anyplace.
Logo graphics
In certain departments of the school, they create logos like in the Design and Technology department they use a program called "Flexicab2" which you are able to create logos easily or they use another program called "Illustrator" which practically does the same and the purpose of the Logo graphics is to establish the company or organisation in an easier manner. Also the logos can be used for an advantage for promoting the department and it could be included an a digital poster or web-page.
Transition/ animation
The transition and animation can be used mainly in the Media department because of equipment that they use like the Mac computer, video usage, etc. The main purpose of the transition and animation is mainly for adding affects into videos and images. Also the transition and animation can be as an advantage for added promotion of the school and or organisation and it could be included in videos and or the web page. This would fit well with its purpose because it would look more professional and therefore more people would want their families to visit the school and therefore would want their kids to come to the school to learn how to do that.
Target audience
Overall the target audience would be mainly parents and or carers because they will try and get as much information about the school as they possibly can before sending their child to the right school.
