2.8 Provide clear, consistent and accessible hyperlinks
Hyperlinks provide an easy and accessible way of finding a file, or a website, this makes it quick to get to important information, here’s an example of a hyperlink (http://www.hse.gov.uk/work-equipment-machinery/essential-require.htm)
2.2 Locate appropriate assets, 2.5 Prepare a specification for the creation of original content
Let’s take textures as an example. So sometimes on a job, a client will specify what things they want, like textures, they’ll specify colours, materials and assets. so if a texture would be from textures.com, a free resource a lot of visualization artists use, this is great as it has a massive library of textures we’re able to find, and edit. but if we can’t find it we’ll often go out and take a picture of a material and turn it into a texture
2.6 Format copy, following relevant writing conventions, style guides and policies
So basically this can be how I set my blog out, so for my apprenticeship work I need to define what the question is, and have a clear space to deter main what the answer actually is, so for the question I will make it bold, so it’s easy to distinguish the two, for example in this post I did earlier.
You can see easily the two, and tell which is which.
1.1 Identify sources of ideas for productions, explaining how these can be accessed
There are many sources for ideas for production, the main one I use Is the internet, for Unreal Engine 4 I was looking for different uses for it, and I saw architectural visuals, so I searched more for ideas then came across a channel called UE4 Architecture, which do amazing visuals, this gave me the idea of starting unreal 4 and presenting it to the people at work.
2.2 Review ideas to ensure that they contribute towards achieving organisation objectives
Often when I’m working on a project I’ll ask my boss for feedback, this is good as it helps me to amend work, too suit the organisations needs.
3.1 Write realistic and clear outline proposals
At the start of any project the best thing to do it have a clear visions of what you’re going to propose and achieve with what you want to do, as well as the time you’re going to have to do it in I outline things that are achievable and realistic goals, one of the main goals I have is to make a realistic lighting solution in Unreal which requires a lot of trail and error
3.2 Write realistic and clear detailed treatments, to meet schedule and budget requirements
I try to take all of these into considerations when working on a project when it’s important, this helps everyone as we all will have a clear and detailed outline to follow, making sure no one is behind on time schedules or budgets.
3.3 Suggest named presenters, performers or contributors to be used for the production
N/A for my job.
3.4 Present ideas clearly and cogently to relevant parties
This is important as it enable everyone to be on the same wave length, we’re all able to understand any job easily with communication, making a job handover easy, efficient and error-less.
4.2 Comply with relevant legal and regulatory requirements
This is basically copyright, so say for a texture we use we use a website called Textures.com which has royalty free textures used for personal and commercial use, this is a good resource, but sometime we make our own with photography, but if a visual is complete by us it’s copyright to us, we have the rights to the photo, so people who want to use it need to ask for permission from us to use it on their websites or any where else.
1.1 Establish the parameters of the project, identifying key constraints according to platform and distribution methods
When I start a project It’s important for me to know what the constraints of the platform are, so with Unreal we needed to decide what platform we want to develop for, we did originally want to use it for Apple, as the user will have easy accessibility to the visual, but we realized, we weren't going to get the quality we wanted, so we then chose desktop due to the amazing quality you’re able to get. the constraints for apple would be due to optimization, so we’d need to make everything low poly, meaning you weren’t going to get a good look from it, you also needed to use certain texture formats with squared sizes, so 1024x1024, or 512x512.
1.2 Identify the types, properties and formats of assets required for use
Unreal requires certain file formats for assets to be able to be imported into the engine, so from Lightwave, the 3d soft ware I use we needed it to be .FBX file format for an assets to import, with a UV Channel for textures, and a UV channel for Lightmaps, Images can pretty much be anything, but I usually work with Jpeg, that has a resolution to the power of 2 so (1024x1024) and tha’ts pretty much it.
1.3 Establish the requirements and expectations of others who will use the obtained assets
So when making Unreal 4 scene I need to keep the target audience in mind, this being people that have never played a video game, so i need to make everything as simple as possible, I need to include a screen with Controls on so the user is not left struggling to move around a scene, basically it just needs to be as simplistic as possible for the best possible use in a sales office or something.
1.1 Identify key elements of health and safety regulations, relevant to working in the Creative Media sector
Lifting - Lifting heavy things can cause serious damage to you like a leg, or back injury, especially if you’ve done it wrong, But we don’t really do much heavy lifting at Digitalcrush, the most it will be is a new computer.
Electrics - in my job everything is electrical, with things plugged into sockets like computers and monitors, if the wire is damaged, it can cause damage to not only the equipment, but to your self so we check the wires before we plug them in.
Computers - They can damage your eyes if you look at them for so long with out taking breaks, so we regularly take breaks to give our eyes a rest from staring at monitors all day.
1.3 Identify the main employer responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act
For your employees' well-being you need to provide:
toilets and hand basins, with soap and towels or a hand-dryer;
drinking water;
a place to store clothing (and somewhere to change if special clothing is worn for work);
somewhere to rest and eat meals.
I found this here http://www.hse.gov.uk/simple-health-safety/workplace.htm
they must provide you with training is a specific field so for example if there is a bit of machinery that could cause damage you need to be trained in it to assure proper use.Electrical equipment and unsafe liquids should be stored somewhere away from people so it’s not a hazard to them, they also need health and safety training as well as fire drills.
1.1 Describe the industries within the Creative Media sector
There are many different industries within the creative media sector, the main ones out thoughts jump too are obviously Film, Television, Animation, Games, Visual Effects. but you might not think about the other side like books, and magazines
1.2 Describe cross-industry ownership in the Creative Media sector
This is where one or more people own businesses throughout the industry that do different things, for example this could include Television, Film, Radio, Magazines, Books, Music, Video Games, and others.
1.3 Explain the relevant relationships between a range of industries within the Creative Media sector
Within the creative media sector this is pretty important, as it can help get you more known, let’s take the gaming industry for example. without a publisher a game might not get as well known as it could, as the publisher takes care of the distribution and advertising of a product, if you go with an advertising agency that specializes in this field they’re able to target the people you’re aiming your game at, but advertising it on websites that relate, so for example if your game is scifi then it will add it to scifi websites.
There are many more within this industry.
2.1 Describe the stages of a specific Creative Media project life cycle
So with the architectural visualization field we need to take a project in steps, this provides a clean and efficient workflow for us to follow. So first off you need plans to work from, this makes sure you get it to exactly how a client wants their design, so we wait for them to send in a CAD file, once we receive it we need to study it, understand the details, read the specification the client has added to the drawing, then make notes. Once that’s done we make it suitable for our 3D program, this would be Lightwave, once that’s done we import the cad files, and line them up in 3 dimensions, front back and sides, as this gives us a basic vision of what needs to be done. Once that’s set up we start the modelling process, following the CAD Outlines. Once the modelling is done we then need to focus on making the scene look real, so we import it into Layout, which is the program that handles the lighting for our scene, once that’s to standard we render it out then add it to Photoshop for some final details, like things we didn’t include in 3d to speed up render time, then it get’s sent to the client and we wait for feedback.
2.2 Explain and justify resources required for a specific project
For example say you need to take photos of a site for a client
Taking the Photo
So obviously, you need to have a camera, It’s probably best to have a decent camera, preferably a DSLR as you’re able to get HD Photos, this is important if the client want you to composite your 3d model into a real life photo as you wouldn’t want a low quality photo in the final product, but say if the client was after an Aerial view, you’d nee a camera drone, so you’d hire someone with it to take the photos for you, this is good as it’s not as expensive as getting your own drone, and the people know what they’re doing so they won’t mess anything up.
3.1 Describe the vision, mission and values of a specific Creative Media organisation
Let’s take the company I work for Digitalcrush as an example, what we want to do is provide clients with a clear vision of what they’re product will look like before it’s built in the real world, we like to have a solid, good quality visual that can be used for both design and advertising,
3.2 Describe how a specific Creative Media organisation is funded, governed and regulated
So I will use Digitalcrush as an example again.
I believe our main funds are through clientele, they pay us for our hours spend on a job + wages, meaning we charge them mainly for our time, this is quite a common way of doing things in the creative media industry, as then you’re getting a fair price for what you’re doing.
3.3 Explain the role of a specific team within the organisation
In Digitalcrush, we don’t really have teams, as there is only 5 of us, everyone does pretty much the same jobs, apart from the directors, which have a little more to worry about, like clientele and finance and with the exception of me that’s experimenting with new software, like Unreal Engine 4
3.4 Explain the relationship between the specific team and others within the organisation
Well the main thing we need in our team is communication, we all need to talk about jobs and communicate to make sure everyone is on the same page, this is important as we need everyone to be able to understand a job easily, for the switch over of a job with someone else in the office.
4.1 Explain the individual roles within a specific team
Directors are in charge of the behind the scenes of the company, they make it work by handling finance, and clientele, they’re also in charge of talking to the clients to find out exactly what they want.
the rest of us do the standard job, like modelling, lighting and Photoshop, with the exception of me who is learning how to use Unreal Engine 4 for our Architectural Visualizations.
4.2 Explain their responsibilities and outputs within a specific project life cycle
We’re responsible for getting our jobs done with in a fast and efficient manner, modelling with speed and detail, and not slacking, the directors are in charge of informing clients on how a jobs going and how far the project has come along.
4.3 Describe examples of interdependence between team members
So where I work we’re dependent on certain things, this would be the same around many companies, for example, vfx a shot can’t really be done without the footage for the movie, and it’s the same at Digitalcrush, we can’t get a job completed without certain things, for example we can’t do anything without any sort of drawing or plan, preferably CAD plans, or PDF. this is needed if the client wants us to get the building exactly to how they want it to look, another thing could be photographs, so if a client needs a visual in the real world we need to composite it, so they need to send us a photo of the site, if they can’t do it someone from work will go to the site and take pictures, so we have to receive them off him, It’s important for people/teams to coordinate them selves with in the company.
Risk Assessment
4.5 Ensure that own personal presentation and behaviour meets the requirements of relevant instructions, procedures and legal requirements
So where I work theres not really a presentations standard, you can come into work day by day wearing your normal casual clothes, as it’s quite a casual field, but say if we were to have a client come into the office it’s common sense to dress smarter, for example just a shirt and jeans, for behaviors we’re expected to act professionally when a client comes in as we’re representing the company, how we present our selves will reflect on the company.
4.4 Report any differences between workplace and suppliers’ or manufacturers’ instructions
While using Light wave I save everything as the appropriate format which works with Unreal Engine 4, if it didn’t work, I’d have to get in touch with the support for Unreal Engine
4.3 Suggest ways of reducing risks to health and safety to the appropriate personnel
Possible ways to reduce risk to health and safety could be cleaning my desk regularly making sure there is nothing that could harm me on the desk, another thing would be stick things under the desk to make sure they’re not in the way to avoid a tripping/slipping hazard, we could also make sure the office is clean, throwing away anything unwanted like boxes, which could also possibly be a tripping hazard.
Overall just have a clean area to work
4.2 Manage any health and safety risks within own capability and responsibility
If I had an Issue I’d speak to my boss, as they would both correct and monitor the issue which would improve the health and safety of me, and my fellow colleagues
4.1 Work safely in accordance with own level of competence, relevant instructions and legal requirements, following environmentally friendly practices
People shouldn’t carry out a task if they feel under qualified to do so or haven’t had training in the field you’re being asked to be a part of. this could be using new machinery, or heavy lifting. many companies will provide training for fields you’re not trained for.
3.4 Take action to address any hazards in accordance with workplace procedures and legal requirements
The best way to do this would be to perform a risk assessment, this gives you a legal standard of judgement to tell you weather or not you’re following health and safety regulations, once this document has been filled in you’re then able to address weather or not your workplace is up to standard.
3.3 Check which potentially unsafe working practices present the highest risk to self and others
A couple of unsafe practices spring to mind when thinking about health and safety, For example Obstructing, or blocking a fire escape. This should never be done as it doesn’t provide a clear route to pass through in the case of a fire, another one could be liquids and wiring, this would be because they’re falling hazards if this does occur, it could lead to someone potentially breaking something or injuring themselves in general, another one could potentially be your colleagues accidentally leaving a hot cup of coffee near you for example resulting in you burning your self.
3.2 Identify any unsafe practices in own workplace and job role
In my place of work we have certain precautions we need to follow in order to keep health and safety. The room where I work has a layed out in a specific way, for example we don’t have anything blocking the door, due to it being a fire escape, we need a clear path to get through if there ever is the case of a fire, we also have smoke alarms and fire alarms, as well as fire extinguishers which are required. the room is also layed out to stop anyone tripping, as we have all of the wires away from the space where we walk, instead they’re tucked back and are running along the skirting boards.
3.1 Identify workplace instructions relevant to own job
The main instruction at work we have is to take regular breaks, as you shouldn't be looking at your computer with out any breaks as it could damage your eyes, we need to keep our desks tidy, and put bags and things under our desks to avoid people tripping over them.
