Website

I used Notepad ++ to write the HTML and CSS for the website. The elements I placed in the websites by using simply HTML coding are:

Research
poster design
Edited video interviews of Dave Amiet and PC Ross
Animation

For the research I added a

tag under the body tag and then pasted the information in and finally closing the tag by putting





For the poster you put


For the edited video interviews I used the Video For Everybody technique. This will allow everyone to view my video even though they are looking at the website through a PC, MAC, or even a mobile device which always internet such as a PSP (Playstation Portable)



For the animation I put




I also added codes to the CSS page to make my website more attractive, such as background colour, font, font size, font colour etc.



This is a page of my finished website

Animation

I chose my anaimation is be based on how games are a bad influence to young drivers. I did this by drawiing the images in Adobe Illustrator CS4, saving them as a symbol and then import to Flash. You do this by opening up Adobe Flash CS4 and click on "File" - "Import" - then find files you want to import. Once all illustrations are inported I used Flash's animation tools to do my animation.

Here is a example of a drawing I did in Illustrator:

Here are somes frames from my finished animation:

Video Interviews

We had a employee from the ESFRS( East Sussex Fire And Rescue Service) called Dave Amiet and a employee from the Sussex Police called PC Ross. They agreed for us to record them using a video camera while they explained the dangers of driving within the young people aged 18-25 and advises how to prevent yourself from being a victim in a car accident.

With the interviews fininshed I edited them. I did this by opening up Adobe Photoshop CS4 and entered a question and using the animation tools (Windows - Animation) I made in fade in and then fade out again. i would repeat this process until I have done all the questions for Dave Amiet anbd PC Ross. Finally exported them out as a .mov file.

Then I opened up a question and from the video interview I cut the part out that responses to the question and and placed it on the end of the question. To do this you need to find the right part in the video you want by usinf the left and right arrows, then copy it(ctrl +c), insert new player (ctrl + n) and then paste it (ctrl +v) and save it in the same folder as the question.

Finally I opened up a question then paste the cutted video at the end of the question. I would repeat this process until all question and answers has been fused together. then copy and and paste all those into one file.
