1. Select and apply contemporary approaches to design interactive software solutions in a complex problem domain.

2. Implement a system from a given design using the features of a suitable programming language or development environment.

This assignment addresses outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 through the use of UML and Java in the design and implementation of an Object Oriented application. It will also provide you with some evidence on which you can base your critical and evaluative work (outcome 6).

SCENARIO.

Assets are film content, audio tracks, subtitle text, subtitle images, menus, introduction sequences, extra features, commentaries and so forth. With the advent of Blue Ray, the company is also receiving more Java Code as assets to be included. Assets can be provided by the client, in other cases they are developed in house or commissioned from a third party.

Assets can be ready to use in the final product or may require additional work or to be combined to form elements. The additional work may involve compressing video, combining video and audio, generating sub-title streams and so forth.

Timing and keeping on schedule is key to post production management, the client, normally a studio, has specific title release deadlines that they must keep to. The product manager has to report on progress to the client each week, providing an accurate account of the reason for any delays.

Security is also very important, clients need to be confident that they can trust post production to be reliable in managing assets and not let any details of a title become known before the release date.
