I FINALLY finished the video! Yay!

Here’s my video below:

Warning: Here’s some of my voices included!

I can’t hear it with sane mental.. My English is SO bad. 😥

I made my own background music for this video by using Garage Band (in MAC).

Screenshot of making music with Garage Band

Sheila teacher taught us how to use this tool before.

We can make every kinds of music by this! It’s totally amazing 😉

And, as I said, the voice in the video is mine.. I know it’s terrible but there’s no other way.

After listening and watching this video tons of times, I felt like it’s not that bad.. XD

Anyway.. I’d add few things about WIX website too.

Eat & Shop page

Last time, I just made the category ‘Eat & Shop’ but add nothing there,

and now I add an Accordion.

Here are the photos I used here:

BAD.INTERNET.FOREVER.

I almost kill myself because the circumstances are to frustrated.

Anyway, I didn’t kill myself, and finished today’s job well 😉

Title

I changed my site’s name into ‘Seoul-MARK’.

When I first pick my site’s topic, it started with Architecture.

But during designing and making this site, it slowly changed to Landmark.

So I pick the name that can express my site’s subject better.

It means Seoul’s landmark.

I hope this one’s better than before 🙂

Footer

And I attach a Footer in my website.

Peter teacher gave me some feedbacks and he said sites always need Footer.

Footer is a component of a site which is always attached in very bottom.

We can write down about a copyright in footer.

So I wrote

It means this site’s every copyrights are mine.

Gyeongbokgung page

And I add some additional information in specific pages.

There’s like Google Maps and ‘How to go’.

Here are some images that I used in How to go.

Bus Icon

Subway Icon

I made other icons like ‘Walk’ and ‘Link’, but I didn’t use them yet so I’ll post them later.

Bukchon Hanok village Page

This is more specific image that shows Map and How to go.

I add Google Map in English but some of the names are still in Korean.

That’s because they didn’t have any information in English.

And I set some colors in Subway and Bus lines.

In Seoul, there’s some colors that represent each lines.

Subway colors

For example, Subway line 1 is represented by Navy, for line 2 it’s green.

Bus colors

Most of the foreigners can’t do Korean so it’s easier for them to identify lines by colors.

That’s why I used the colors.

About us page

Accepting Peter teacher’s advice, again, I add some image in About us page.

He said the alignments of texts are not-clean and only texts are very not-readable.

So I changed some aligns of texts and add a image.

The image:

shows lots of famous landmarks throughout the world.

Things I have to do

Finish the video (PLEASE)
Add some content in Eat & Shop category
Add more information in specific pages
Get ready for final Wix post

Exhausted.

Nothing else can express my status better than this word.

I’m so tired but on the other hand, I feel very good for watching my wix site.

Because it’s been organized more and more 😉

‘Tradition’ Main page

I added an ‘Accordion’ gallery in Tradition page,

because I decide to use it in all Architecture pages.

Here’s are some photos from that Accordion.

The photo which I didn’t write copyrighter down is my photos.

And others are from my friend photographer.

They willing to give their photos when I said and ask them to use photos.

I feel very thankful for them. They’re my life-savers 🙂 I mean it! I almost died.

When you drag your mouse into Accordion, the photo below expands and shows the full photo.

if you click each photo, it will bring you to each page.

This is example of Gyeongbokgung page.

In this specific page, I used Thumbnails to express many photos in one sight.

I didn’t add the explanation yet, but I’ll do that soon.

‘Between’ Main page

And I also add some items in Between Main page’s Accordion.

Stone stairs in Bukchon Hanok village

Jungang Highschool

Jungang Highschool

This photos are all taken by me.

Actually I’m looking for more architecture that I can categorize to Between.

And I made some sources for video.

These photos of landmarks in Europe’s city are all taken by me.

And I write down some texts using Photoshop.

Add more items in ‘Between’

Today I finally start to organize my Wix site.

Because I change almost everything about my website, it was quite hard work.

My Wix site’s current Main page

I named my website as ‘Architect-Seoul’. It also is title of my main page.

And I made four menus:

About us
Tell people who visit my website about purpose of this project, my aim about this theme – architecture.
Tradition
I divide Seoul’s architecture into three – first one is Tradition.
Between
And second one is Between – between Tradition and Modern.
Modern
Last one is Modern.

If you click this menus, it will bring you to each page.

Under that, there’s a photo which can express Seoul best (at least I thought so).

Seoul’s night view

This photo is from my photographer friend, Jang Seokjae.

I get permission from him for using this photo in my website.

My current ‘About us’ page

Next, I filled out page ‘About us’.

In this page, I’m going to introduce this whole WKC – Mirim BTECT project and my website.

I’ll explain why I participate this project, why I pick this topic ‘Architecture’.

Now it’s incomplete but maybe one or two days more, I think I can fill this all up.

After 3rd year started, We’ve been keep modifying our Wix sites in Media English class.

Actually I changed most of my plan, so I might update my moodboard and storyboard.

Today I spent almost time for editing my plan and design.

I can’t decide what color should I use in website and detail concept.

But I have to build a frame, so I made a temporary logo and arrange it.

My Temporary Logo

I have to finish plans ASAP and manage my Wix site.

Task 1 Final Report

March 6, 2014March 6, 2014Nuri Leave a comment

WKC BTEC Task 1 Report

This report is about my Task 1 in WKC – Mirim BTEC certificate process which is held from 10.02.14 to 21.02.14. The Task 1 is about our project’s Pre-production. Pre-production is literally a procedures that we do before real project.
Pre-production may look not important, but actually it is. If you didn’t make your documentations well, the real project might go not so well, too.
Here are some elements that you have to focus on in your pre-production steps:

MONEY is necessary for every project. There are two kinds of money – Income and Expenditure. Income is money that comes into me, and expenditure is money that goes out from me. You have to plans for both of them. You must keep one thing in mind: Income always has to be bigger than expenditure, or you’re going to broke.
And next, it’s all about TIME. It’s better to do your project like just good and in time than do it really good but not in time. Although your project is perfect, that’s useless if you didn’t keep deadlines carefully. You should make Gantt chart for whole project – like for 3~4 weeks or more, and many little schedules like production schedule for interim deadlines. Remember, deadlines are kind of agreements, so it might be the best important elements.
You can’t be good at everything. So you have to hire some PEOPLE. You can divide people into two – Personnel and Contributor. Personnel are person who is in your team. You will carry whole project with your personnel. On the other hand, the person who required for specific work is called Contributor. You can measure yours and your teammates’ ability with SWOT analysis and Skill audits. After analyzing yourselves, you should hire some personnel and contributors.
If you have to film or edit or code something, you need some PLACE for that. There are also two kinds of places – Facility and Location. They seem very similar but there’s huge difference. If you want to make it simple, you can say Facilities are indoors and Locations are outdoors, but that’s not a correct definition. Facilities are places you book or hire, and Locations are places you get permission. In both of them, you need Recce. Recce is a little slang for Reconnaissance. It means visiting a place and get familiar with it. You must do Recce for successful filming or whatever you do.
When you make a website or video or something, you need assets like photo, video, music… We say that as MATERIALS. All kinds of stuffs that you use in your project are materials, especially the software ones. If you want to use materials that aren’t yours, you have to get permission from copyrighters – we can say this lower.
It may be very important part – LEGAL CONSTRAINTS include COPYRIGHT. Every step during project requires legal process. Each element from Money to Materials needs specific process. For example, when you hire a contributor, you have to write a release form for protect their and your rights.

During carry out this BTEC project, I had lots of problems and obstacles, but also I learned lots of lessons.
First, because English is not my native language, this whole project using English was so hard. But my teachers, seniors, and google helped me, so it made my works easier.
And second, I always thought preparing is not so important. But due to this pre-production, it wakes me for importance of pre-production. Even we can say pre-production decide quality of project.
Third, in 2 weeks, I felt like I’m a little closer with English. Of course I’ve been studied English but I never want something related to English so badly. I really want to get BTEC and do this project well. I’ll study English harder and harder to achieve my hopes and wishes.
