Technical comments.

My first task was to research to idents and two interactive menus. I chose a Toy Story and Iron Man interactive menu and two BBC Three idents. In this short evaluation of them I will be describing what I saw when watching them and what techniques were used to create what I'm watching. I watched the idents and interactive menus in question on YouTube as this was the only access I had in terms of viewing them.

A big part of the research I did was to find out more about the technical side of things and the appearance. I will be looking at what was actually needed to create the final appearance. I will be doing this by reviewing the codes and size formats used. I will be looking at how they all vary from each other and why they do so.

I found that there are all different types of screen sized and they vary for different things. Obviously the screen size will change when on a different sized screen, for example, normal box style televisions will be different to flat screen televisions as they will be wide screen. If you created the esting on a small screen and didn't change the size format then you could encounter problems when view it on one of the two screens above. It could be a situation where the esting looks fine on the box style television and also on the wide screen TV but if you changed the screen size on the flat screen TV to a wider view setting then the esting could appear stretched as you sometimes find and you would then lose the quality of the esting and it will look quite pixelated. This is why screen size and format is so important for the appearance. The basic way to classify TV quality is by resolution; here are a few standard resolution sizes, 480i, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. The bigger the number is, the greater the screen resolution. The 'i' and 'p' stand for interlaced and progressive scan.
