History Of Record

What is ‘Record’? A record is something you could store information or data

on. An album is also a source of recording because you are storing music in it.

Record has changed through time it has gone through so many different stages and as the years go on it becomes

more developed.

The purpose of a record is so you could store data on it. It is formatted in a way so the data that is stored on the

record is accessible.

The earliest forms of recordings are cave paintings and Runic Alphabets. In the past

cavemen use to carve drawings into walls to make a note of events that had taken place. The more recent forms of recording after the

cave paintings were the ‘hydropowered organs’ which played cylinders automatically.

Runic alphabets were used to write runes and a way of communicating through

Germanic languages.

Thomas Edison perfected the phonograph which was a cylinder material like tin foil

etched onto grooves. This then developed into the gramophone.

Record has developed and continues to develop. There are new ways to store

information and to record information.

Different Types of Record...

Platform Type How This Might Be Used

Print (Written) Books This is used for reading or recording an issue that took place. This could also be a source of entertainment.

Audio /Video (Sound) Cassettes, Recorders To record sound, music or documentaries.

Audio (Sound) Podcast This is like a radio and records voice or sound you can replay.

Film (Visual) Video Recorder Something you could watch e.g. documentaries

Audio (Sound) CD, iPods To record music by artists or voice.

Print (Written) Magazines, Newspapers Something that you could read and has been documented

Film (Visual) DVDs, Videos To record something that can be viewed.

Online (Visual, Sound) Blogging To keep a record of writing or stories. Could be like a dairy.

Online (Visual, Sound) Email, Network Groups You could store stuff on your email or send emails to people all around the world and still keep the data.

Film (Visual) Camera Something you could record yourself and then watch over

Audio (Sound) Microphone To record voice or sound to play back and keep as evidence

PrintIn the past people used caving drawings into

walls and caves as a way of recording information and stories. Print has largely

developed over time. It has gone from pictures on the walls to written print in

magazines and books.

Writing was just a form of storing historical events but it has now become a sort of

entertainment. People write books or for news papers so other people could read it. It has become a way of spreading information.

AudioThe first few devices used for

recordings could not even record the sound of voice. Thomas Edison and

other famous people have worked in the past to find ways where music and

voice or any type of sounds. The phonautograph was the first type

of audio that was able to record sound.Now it is very simple to record sound.

There are different equipment that can be used to record such as microphones

and CD players. Other types of audios are cassette recorders, hard disc

recorders, tape recorders and many more.

FilmThere have been many developments when it comes to recording films.

There have been many different stages in improving film for example the

kinematoscope which was a rotating paddle machine which you could view

pictures through.

Film has developed a lot from just viewing pictures it has gone to 3D

films. This is all due to the change in technology and the different types of

equipment to make this possible. Today they use cameras to record

sound and to record people for films. Technology also allows us to edit our films and record over something that

has been recorded. http://www.filmsite.org/pre20sintro.html

People do not know about the first science of camera but they have proof of recording from the 19th century. If you put an object in front of the box it s going to reverse and the image in front of the object is going to come out

upside down. The light carries into the tiny hole. The light is going to projected back.

Camera Obscura

Gelatime Silver Process is the science of film reel. It is the camera obscura created after the object mentioned above. This reel would be about 8mm long or super 8mm long and the scene

depends on how wide the frame of the reel is. The image is caught in the little frames. The first screening of a film was in 1898 by the

Lumiere Brothers. People had not watched film before and thought that the picture was moving towards them. After this capturing image meant using CCD which stands for Charged

Coupled Device which is the movement of electrical charge. The electrical video signal would turn into a signal and then print into

the magnetic tape. Examples of this is VCR’s, Video tapes, Cassettes.

Digital and Analogue

Digital is the same as CCD except that it changes the signals into a series of numbers. The difference between digital and analogue is that

analogue is doing things in a manuel way meaning that you have to physically do something to start something. Digital is when the

programme or camera is computerised and the computer works it for you.

Video and Camera

The most recent camera captures 5 images in one slide. HD camera’s are very popular and this means that they are ‘high definition’. This

depends on the pixel and how many pixels a n image holds. For example the average image constrains 18 million pixels where as a HD camera contains 20 million. It is said that pixels have increased 6 times than

what they use to be.

Web-BasedThe internet is used for many different

things for example research, homework, surfing the net, writing and many more

productive things. Before computers were invented people used type writes to

write letters or stories and before type writers were invented people wrote

letters with their own hands. Technology has developed. There are many more

advanced technologies than the computer for example the MACs and the iPAD’s.

The internet has also developed. The internet is very wide and it has a lot of

information on it. It can be used to store information and to receive information.

Future DevelopmentsOver the past few centuries record has developed. It

has developed into what we now call the internet, computers, audio, print, blogger and many other forms

of record.

Record will keep on changing over time and we will see many more developments. We have all ready been

introduced to 3D films and iPAD's and computer games. In the future we expect to see more

spectacular achievements like 4D films and even 4D films. This is a stimulation and as an audience we feel

everything that happens in the film for example if water is falling the audience will feel the water but it

isn’t actually on them. We could see rather than computers portable screens that come out in thin air.

Technology and records are a forever developing business which is always growing.

People think that there will be future developments like Holograms which is when you watch movies and

the actor and actresses appear right beside you. This is already being experimented.
