2.4 Summary
You need to show and explain 2 or more advanced techniques from your Digital Media Outcome.
using appropriate tools and techniques for the purpose and end users
applying appropriate data integrity and testing procedures
using relevant conventions for the media type
explaining relevant implications.
Tip! Remember to explain - 5Ws & H: Who, What, When Where, Why & How :
A) Advanced Tools
A) Advanced Tools
Examples of advanced techniques include:
creating or customising scripts, code or presets
using a combination of steps to manipulate or enhance elements
using a third-party library (such as A-frame.io and animation mixer)
using composite effects. (such as creating an entity model from a number of primitive shapes and applying textures)

M) Step-ups for Merit
develop an informed digital media outcome involves:
using information from testing procedures to improve the quality of the outcome (use IDE debugger tool and Developer Tools to inspect Console)
applying relevant conventions to improve the quality of the outcome (improving textures / animations / interactions / UI instructions / text for menus & info.)
addressing relevant implications.
E) Step-ups for Excellence
E) Step-ups for Excellence
develop a refined digital media outcome involves:
iterative improvement throughout the design, development and testing process to produce a high-quality outcome (such as refining components such as rotation, scale, position, textures' repetition or use of embedded ambient sound and animation)
Adding complex interactivity to refine user experience
using efficient tools and techniques in the outcome’s production. (such as the Object Inspector to arrange XYZ position of entities, use of asset management <a-assets> & #IDs)
E) Efficient Tools
E) Efficient Tools
Examples of efficient tools and techniques include:
management of assets (such as <a-assets and #IDs )
using stylesheets
master pages or student developed templates (such as version control in Glitch.com)
commenting <!-- html comments --> & /* CSS comments */
character formatting controls
reusing objects, styles and/or frames (such as re-suing the same 3D tree model but changing the entity's components for scale, rotation, position to make them look varied)
HTML / CSS validation procedures (https://validator.w3.org/ )
Careful testing on mobile to consider loading times, e.g. maybe splitting the webVR into separate pages to reduce the number of interactive spheres loading on one page.
optimisation of media assets. (use Photoshop well-named layers, adjustment layers & layer masks to make non-destructive edits, use of Photoshop to 'Save for Web' to compress textures .png or .jpg files for textures, using MeshMixer to reduce the number of polygons in a model mesh to <5K polys (Less Than 5000 polygons in order to increase speed / reduce complexity & loading time)
