This paper is a study of documentary film production with focus on the filmmakers choice and usage of sound equipment. Using professional articles and literature have first of all helped us determine a standard for the conventional use of sound equipment in documentary film. Afterwards, by analyzing our own interviews we?ve received answers on how filmmakers relate to the conventional usage and why they select equipment as they do. Thereafter, we describe a technical method which helps a filmmaker to be able to record sound for documentary film on his/her own, using simple measures without reducing quality.

Children?s use of mobile devices is constantly increasing and has become very popular withchildren as young as toddlers. Schools in Sweden have made large investments to expand theuse of information technology (IT), and the use of mobile devices in preschools is already acommon support tool for learning. Children?s use of IT is a relatively new phenomenon,which means that is it also a relatively new area of research.

Att filmmusiken är en viktig del i en film nog de flesta beredda att hålla med om. Men vad har musiken egentligen för betydelse för hur vi som åskådare upplever film? Med hjälp av två visuellt identiska filmer vars enda skillnad är filmmusiken undersöker jag hur olika typ av musik kan ge en annorlunda upplevelse av samma film. Ett antal personer får ta del av filmerna och svara på frågor i enkätundersökning, vars resultat sammanställs och analyseras. Med hjälp av det slutgiltiga resultatet kan jag avgöra om frågeställningen är besvarad och vad det får för betydelse för forskningen inom ämnet, och inte minst hur man kan bygga vidare på undersökningen för att få en djupare förståelse för filmmusik och hur den påverkar åskådarens upplevelse av film..

Rapporten syftar att redovisa det arbete som är involverat i skapandet av digitala karaktärer lämpade för film och reklamfilmsproduktion. Då Milford Film & Animation i synnerhet producerar reklamfilm kommer fokus i denna uppsats att ligga på denna typ av produktion. Denna rapport kommer huvudsakligen att fokusera på arbetsprocessen som helhet och förklara dess roll i sammanhanget, det vill säga skapandet av en animerad reklamfilm. Poängen är att belysa den roll den ansvariga för karaktärsutvecklingen har, med inriktning på modellering och texturering. Under min tid på Milford Film & Animation har jag handgripligen arbetat med alla de steg involverande modellering och texturering som beskrivs i uppsatsen och jag har på så sett beskaffat mig den erfarenhet inom ämnet som jag använt mig av för att komma fram till de slutsatser som beskrivs i denna rapport..

Den här rapporten kommer att behandla metoden och problematiken kring omvandling av spelfilm till animerad film. Digitala effekter har använts inom filmproduktion för att manisfestera fenomen som inte kunnat tillfogats i verkligheten, ett exempel är självklart flygande drakar. Digital Anarchy har nyligen släppt effektprogrammet ToonIt, ett tilläggsprogram till Adobe Premiere Pro, som har egenskapen att med enkla termer uttryckt omvandla spelfilm till animerad film. Genom surrealistiska effekter har möjligheten erhållits att framställa intryck av svunna tider i orientaliska miljöer utan inköp av skräddarsydd klädsel eller inspelning i fjärran trakter. Även möjligeten finns att producera tvådimensionell animerad film utan att gå igenom proceduren att framställa tjugofyra handritade eller datorritade bilder motsvarande en sekunds film..

The aim of this master?s thesis is to investigate a possible connection between the development of mobile library services in Sweden and the development of cultural policy during 1945-2006. Our main question is: is there a connection between the development of the mobile library services in Sweden, as described in Biblioteksbladet, and the development of cultural policy as portrayed by Anders Frenander and Dorte Skot-Hansen? In order to answer this question, we formulated two secondary questions: - How are the mobile library services described in Biblioteksbladet between 1945 and 2006? - Are there any similarities or dissimilarities between the development of the mobile library services and the development cultural policy as described in our theoretical models? If so, in what way? Our study covers the entire time period since the start of the mobile library services in Sweden in the late 1940s. The final year for our investigation is 2006.

Den här uppsatsen är en undersökning av eventkulturen i det regionala resurscentrumet Film i Skåne.Uppsatsens teoretiska utgångspunkter är befintlig forskning om den svenska filmproduktionens regionalisering, vilken är en förutsättning för Film i Skånes hela verksamhet, samt forskning om filmfestivalernas funktion för enskilda filmer och dess ursprungsland/region. Syftet med uppsatsen är att ta reda på hur eventkulturen främjar Film i Skånes verksamhet och vad eller vilka som gynnas av verksamhetens eventkultur.Tre stycken former av event som Film i Skåne arrangerar/samarrangerar förklaras och diskuteras i en analys med syftet att ta reda på hur eventkulturen fungerar och verkar. De utvalda eventen är CineSkåne, M:Dox och Filmbar. Med hjälp av de teoretiska utgångspunkterna utreds eventens funktion i Film i Skånes verksamhet.I slutdiskussionen argumenteras det för att eventkulturen i Film i Skånes verksamhet blir ett verktyg för att stärka sin egen position i filmsverige och säkra den egna tillväxten. Det argumenteras också för att eventkulturen gynnar filmklimatet i regionen genom ett brett arrangörsnätverk som når ut i stora delar av regionen samt att de möjligheter till möten och utveckling för filmarbetare som eventkulturen också bidrar med är till stor fördel för dem..

This thesis work is intended to analyze whether the municipalities has a need for the new technology of mobile mapping.Mobile mapping consists of the technologies of laser scanning, photographing and positioning of streets and roads in city environment and in the countryside. When these technologies are operating together a georeferenced three-dimensional image model is created, which has specific coordinates that states its position on the surface of the earth. Thanks to the laser scanning process even measuring can be performed in this model.The municipal sector consists of many different departments which use visual spatial information. These departments are an interesting target group for this system. Specific departments within the municipal sector, which we considered were the most suitable, have been selected.

In recent years the development of mobile devices has made great progress and today they account for a large proportion of the internet usage. This trend poses new demands on web developers as more companies and product owners want to customize their services and products for this new market. In this study we examine the pros and cons of the strategies desktop-first and mobile-first in the development of adaptive interfaces for the web. The study aims to create guidelines for situations in which each strategy fits well. The purpose of the study is to create an understanding of how these strategies can help developers and product owners to develop adaptive interfaces based on different goals and objectives.
