Photojournalism Disrupted addresses the unprecedented disruptions in photojournalism over the last decade, with a particular focus on the Australian news media context.Using a mixed methods approach, the book assesses the situation facing press photographers and their employers in the supply of professional imagery for news storytelling. Detailed qualitative case studies looking at special events and crisis reporting complement a longitudinal study of sourcing practices around everyday events. Additionally, interviews with industry professionals offer insights into how news organizations are managing significant structural change. Ultimately, the book argues that photojournalism is being reshaped in line with wider industrial disruptions that have led to the emergence of a highly casualized workforce.As a comprehensive study of contemporary photojournalism practices, Photojournalism Disrupted is ideal for scholars and students internationally, as well as (photo)journalists and media professionals.

This handbook showcases how educators and practitioners around the world adapted their routine media pedagogies to meet the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, which often led to significant social, economic, and cultural hardships.Combining an innovative mix of traditional chapters, autoethnography, case studies, and dialogue within an intercultural framework, the handbook focuses on the future of media education and provides a deeper understanding of the challenges and affordances of media education as we move forward.

Quando si pensa all'espressione "cartone animato" la s'immagina quasi sempre in un contesto prettamente infantile, e si racchiudono in questa definizione anche forme di animazione che non sono propriamente definibili come cartoni animati e dunque disegni animati. Ma tale forma artistica è per l'appunto un'arte a tutti gli effetti che nulla ha da invidiare alle arti popolarmente associate ad un pubblico adulto, ed è molto spesso anch'essa rivolta a spettatori che non siano bambini. Vedremo come diversi cartoni animati dall'estetica vivace ed "infantile" abbiano trame complesse, messaggi intricati e contenuti destinati ad un pubblico adulto.Cominceremo marcando la differenza fra cartone animato per bambini e cartone animato per adulti, e analizzeremo anche i prodotti che sfuggono a questa categorizzazione e che acquisiscono significati e risvolti diversi a seconda del pubblico ai quali li si presenta. Approfondiremo la psicologia alla base della produzione per bambini, e le fondamentali differenze percettive che bisogna considerare quando si realizza un cartoon.Tratteremo inoltre alcuni fra i più rilevanti prodotti d'animazione italiani.Partiremo dai capisaldi dell'animazione, passando per capolavori anni Novanta, soffermandoci sui prodotti d'animazione giapponese. Andremo ad esaminare le dinamiche delle varie produzioni, i messaggi talvolta sorprendenti che gli animatori intendevano esprimere e l'impatto sociologico che suddette opere ebbero - e tutt'ora hanno - nei vari contesti in cui furono trasmesse.

Inspired by MPEG-I and JPEG-PLENO standardization activities, this book is for readers who want to understand 3D representations and multi-camera video processing for novel immersive media applications.

Creating Flash Widgets with Flash CS4 and ActionScript 3.0 is an introduction to developing widgets for the Internet using the features of Flash CS4 and ActionScript 3.0.

Flash has long been one of the most approachable, user-friendly tools for creating web-based animations, games, and applications. This has contributed to making it one of the most widely used programs for creating interactive web content. With each new version of Flash, ActionScript, its built-in scripting language, has become more powerful and a little more complex, too. ActionScript, now at version 3.0, has significantly matured as a programming language, bringing power and speed only previously dreamed about to Flash-based animation, going far beyond traditionally used keyframes and tweens.The material inside this book covers everything you need to know to harness the power of ActionScript 3.0. First, all the basics of script-based animation and setting up an ActionScript 3.0 project are covered. An introduction to object-oriented programming follows, with the new syntax, events, and rendering techniques of ActionScript 3.0 explained, giving you the confidence to use the language, whether starting from scratch or moving up from ActionScript 2.0.The book goes on to provide information on all the relevant trigonometry you will need, before moving on to physics concepts such as acceleration, velocity, easing, springs, collision detection, conservation of momentum, 3D, and forward and inverse kinematics. In no time at all, you'll both understand the concepts of scripted animation and have the ability to create all manner of exciting animations and games.
