By improving my Kingswood school film club website I could benefit the actual film club and make changes to it. I could improve my website by making it more accessible, this can be done by making my links to access the rest of my site more noticeable by making them bigger and putting them in a better place, like on the top of page. This would make the website look better and make it more accessible. For my trailers I could have put my trailers in my website instead of links pages to the YouTube video. I also could have put more trailers to make the users experience better. In my trailers page, I also could have made the pictures of the films bigger so they would stand out more and make it look better. For the reviews page I could have made the font size bigger to make the table stand out more and look more important. For my films page I could of added pictures and wrote information about each film to tell the user what the film is about if they have not already seen it. This would make the user more interested in watching the film if they like what it’s about. Also I could have put more information on my homes page so the user will know more about the film club.

Navigation

When I was creating my website I had to create navigation to go to the rest of my site. I created hyperlinks on the side of my website with text writing.

HTML

I used HTML forms when creating my website such as i had to use this to add YouTube links on my website.

Audio and visual elements

The only audio and visual elements in my website is my film trailers, i embedded them into my website by using there codes. By doing this users can click on the movie and it will go to the trailer.

Hierarchy

This separates the page in the order of importance; it is done through the size, colour, shape or font.

In my website I have my logo on the right hand side which I made in illustrator, also used forms in my reviews and payments page and a submit button so they can submit their review on the film and their payment information.

TCP/IP protocols map to four layers.  The four layers are application, transport, internet and network Interface. Each layer in the model links to one or more layers of the seven layer open systems Interconnection model. The seven layers are application layer, presentation layer, session layer, transport layer, network layer, data-link layer and physical layer.

Internet Layer- This is responsible for addressing, packaging and routing functions. The protocols for the Internet layer are IP, ARP, ICMP and IGMP.

The Internet Protocol (IP) - This is the routable protocol responsible for IP addressing, routing and the breaking up and reassembly of packets.

The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) - This is the resolution of the internet layer address to the network interface layer address such as a hardware address.

The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) - This provides problem solves and reporting errors due to the unsuccessful delivery of IP packets.

The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) - This is for the management of IP multicast groups.


Transport Layer – This provides the application layer with session and datagram communication services. The protocols of the transport layer are Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP).

TCP provides a connection oriented and reliable communications service. The sequencing and acknowledgment of packets sent, and the recovery of packets lost during transmission.

UDP provides many connectionless and unreliable communications service. UDP is used when only small amounts of data are transferred. When the overhead of establishing a TCP connection is not wanted or when the upper layer protocols provide good delivery.

Application Layer- This gives applications the ability to access other layers and defines the protocols that applications use to exchange data. There are many application layer protocols and new protocols are always being created. The most popular application layer protocols are those used for exchanging user information. These are HTTP, FTP and SMPT.

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
This is used to transfer files that make web pages for the internet.

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
This is used for the interactive file transfer.

The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMPT)
This is used so the transfer of mail messages and attachments work.

Security Risks:

Hacking – Hacking is getting onto someone else’s computer illegally; most hacking consists of stealing, deleting data and downloading viruses onto the computer. To hack you have to re-programme the system so you can perform functions that the owner did not use to allow.

Identity Theft – Identity theft is stealing or using someone else’s identity and personal information. This is normally done by hacking or creating false websites so you can steal people’s bank details, name and address and phone numbers. Identity theft over the internet happens all the because a lot of people will happily put all there details on the website before checking it’s a safe and secure site.

Viruses – Viruses are made to corrupt or steal data from another computer, they are normally hidden in files downloaded from the internet or in emails. Viruses are dangerous to the computer by performing actions like closing down anti-virus software and stopping the computer from performing basic actions. Having a virus on a website, it can spread to the computer that everyone that uses the site, not just the computer hosting the website.


Security Protection Mechanisms:

Firewalls - A firewall is part of a network that is made to not let people access something. It will not let network transmissions based on set rules. Hardware and software are the two types of firewalls. Firewalls for hardware can be used as a part of a router and firewalls for software are programs that are used on the computer, like Windows Firewall. Firewalls also help to stop the spread of viruses on the computer.

Passwords – Passwords are a good way to keep your data or information safe, it is important to have a good strong password so people won’t be able to guess it easily. It is good to have a combination of numbers and letters in your password to make it stronger.

SSL – SSL stands for secure socket layer, this will provide communications security over the internet, and SSL encodes the data of network connections above the transport layer and the lower sub-layer of its application layer using a message confirmation code for safety. Websites that use SSL will have a certificate to show that their websites are safe to use. This will make more people want to use the website because they know it’s safe to use.

User Side Factors:

Download Speed
If the user doesn’t have very good downloading speed, web pages won’t load up as quick and things like videos and pictures will take longer to load.

Browser
Certain browsers will not always support different file types used in websites like flash videos; this can be fixed by either using different browsers, or downloading a flash player.

Cache Memory
This helps to load different website pages that are visited more often than others. If the user visits a lot of pages it is a good idea to configure a higher cache memory capacity which is in the browser settings.

Processor Speed
If the user doesn’t have a very good processor, web pages will take considerably longer to load up and show content due to the amount of calculations made per second. A better processor would make web pages load faster even if they contain images and videos.


Server Side Factors:

Available Bandwidth
Bandwidth determines how much the user can download using their ISP. Having a higher bandwidth you can download more data in the same amount of time. Even if you have a high speed internet and a low bandwidth it will still be restricted to a slow download speed.

Executions to be performed before Page Load
Before the web page is fully loads different parts of the page must be loaded first. Like the head, this hosts the CSS and JavaScript, and then the body. This is why a web page that loads slowly will only display the background and colours at first and it will show the structure. Then followed by the body which holds information.

Number of Hit
The number of hits on a web page is basically the number of requests sent by a user's computer to the server hosting the web page. While it does not tell you the exact number of people using the web page but it does give a rough estimate.

File Types
As I said before certain browsers will not be able to show certain file formats, sometimes there are problems with not being able to view images, videos and audio, this is due to the user. It depends on the server side factor as the web page creator has to choose what file types they use.

Web 2.0 - Web 2.0 uses JavaScript to upload and download new data from the web server without doing a full page reload; this allows users to continue to use the page by separating communications such as data requests going to the server, and data coming back to the page. Examples of this are the tweet deck on Twitter, which will keep refreshing itself even if the user doesn't refresh the page.

Cloud computing - Hardware and software programs are delivered over a network as a service, they are stored on a network in a different place instead of being stored on the different place instead of being stored on the computer, and this means less memory space is used up on the computer. It also reduces the number of performance actions the computer must execute.

Blogs – They are websites used to share information with other people on the internet, e.g. Posterous, blogger and Facebook. Blogs also use web 2.0 so the feed would refresh automatically.

Online applications – this uses the cloud computing as they are accessed somewhere else and not on the user’s computer. Online applications comprise fully hosted tools that provide great functionality without the need to install anything on your local computer. Examples of this are apps off the Google apps, Microsoft online applications and Apple app store.

Multimedia product review - Liam Soper’s 

I think his product is for purpose because it is simple and easy to use. It is bright and all of the buttons work. The colour use works well because the different shades of blue stand out. Also the logo stands out because of the yellow and white. The hexagons make the effect of the effect that it is a football. I like one feature he has put in it, which is some of the button pulse. I think this shows more creativity. The news page is very well set out because it tells about recent news happening within the PE department. Also the information page is well set out; there is enough space for all the information about the department to put in there.

All of the media elements are appropriate and relevant to the department, all of the pictures are of the school PE facilities and they are all photos that he took himself. His project contains no broken links or errors.

His project is professional because it has the logo on every slide which is important. The layout if nice and it also had good animations and transactions. The colours also look good together and stand out, this makes it look professional. The pictures and text are set out well and don’t overlap but still covers most of the empty space.

Recommendations of improvements:

·         Add video to the virtual tour section.

·         Make the heading stand out more.

·         Make the text bigger on the virtual tour page.

·         Make the logo bigger on the slides.

·         Make the pictures in line on homepage.

Throughout my presentation I have put my logo into almost every slide. I got the font from a website. http://www.dafont.com/sega.font, I used the Sega font. For the top part of my logo, I used a Mario image off of Google. http://www.dcmedia-design.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/8-bit-mario.jpg . I also used a Mario mushroom and a Mario brick. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFaFnj-xtYkr22a1KdTj6ceRMsVHBTQBr3Ks3kSaCWlFwLT8HQxt2Rmr0lJrTFTQAwXoslC8CB5nD_GgA5ZoXSjhk5MYVn3FAE_2AtysrnWSprGseBtUq8zTkubfQmCEXPTtWWWMYbRQ8/s1600/Mega+Mushroom+2.jpg  https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDHck3nji2XmYO1zTLAV8KmwPW5tq3A9uTAIdFq4d4c7ivf1ZPgo3i-KozOOrQZofIaLS84PA_GyR6NJfKMyWq77tx_6YSB9D_w2P6jDLiJwyqlWXC9pjqsPRfe6TujXJ2ibnY-2P-3jw/s1600/super+mario+bros.+question+mark+box.png

Also I used a gif picture of Sonic the hedgehog; I also got this picture off of Google images. http://www.thedailytouch.com/media/2012/09/sonic.png  

All of my images and the font I used in my logo I have got from the internet but I have made a unique logo with all the images I used. 

I have legal rights to the photos I took to put in my project. This is because i took them myself and they are my photos.
