P2: Explain the Purpose of Personal Media Profile

 

 In this blog post I will be deciding what assets I can include on my personal media profile. I will see what file types these files are and if I need to change them to optimise these files for my media profile.

 

Product name? Physical or digital?	What was this produced/used for?	File type?	Conversion of file types/quality issues?	Why am I going to convert this product?
Club Europe Animation	My college project. Produced using Adobe Illustrator, Animate and Premiere Pro.	MP4 file	I will either embed my MP4 video file onto my website or I will upload this to YouTube.	Doesn’t need converting, but adding this to YouTube means my video will be available all the time and my even if my website fails then you can access the video. It is also easier to share videos from YouTube which is the point of a media profile.
Foley Sounds	My college project. Produced using microphone and Adobe Audition them placed in my animation in Adobe Premiere Pro.	Since they are a part of my animation, this is the same MP4 file.	See above.	See above.
Newspaper Short Film	My college project. Produced using	MP4 file	I will either embed my MP4 video file onto my website or I will upload this to YouTube.	Doesn’t need converting, but adding this to YouTube means my video will be available all the time and my even if my website fails then you can access the video. It is also easier to share videos from YouTube which is the point of a media profile.
Newspaper Graphic	My college project. Produced using Adobe Photoshop.	TIF file also a Photoshop document.	TIF files are high quality images. Since this magazine would also be print, TIF is the best format to print a magazine. However, for online website portfolios, TIF files are very large, may lag and load very slow.	I will convert my magazine images to PNG or JPEG files since they are high/medium quality and take less time to load. JPEG is lossy though so I will lose some quality in the image with a lower files size. But PNG is lossless (not much loss of quality, bigger file size) and would work fine too.
Powerbeats Pro graphic	My college project. Produced using Adobe Photoshop.	PNG file	N/A	N/A is suitable for my website or media profiles.

DonCast Films Radio Show	My college project. Produced using microphone, Adobe Audition.	MP4 and WAV files.	I will either embed my MP4 video file onto my website or I will upload this to YouTube. WAV files can be uploaded to Sound Cloud or embedded.	I plan to create a logo for my radio show and have it as a video instead. This means I will be using the MP4 file.
