My first thought when it came to development was deciding a suitable RSS feed. I looked at for different types of feed, the stage newspaper, Ticketmaster, theatres around the UK and iTunes. Originally I could not find RSS feeds for any of these, so my backup plan was to use Facebook to pull in information for theatres all around the UK. The main problem I had with this was the sheer amount of different feeds I would have to pull in. I decided that it would be better to just use one feed with multiple data. Luckily a fellow classmate told me about the iTunes RSS feed generator. So I decided to use the iTunes feed.
This is the iTunes RSS feed generator. As you can see you complete the country, the media type, the feed type, the size of the feed and the genre. As you can see you can create many different RSS feeds for music to apps. I decided to use the United States, the media type music, the top songs, I wanted to use the 1st hundred and wanted the genre to be classical.
This was my result as you can see you can view the songs information, including the publish date. This is the peace of information I am pulling out of the RSS feed.
Code
For the code I adapted what my lecturer gave me. One of hardest things about coding this project was working out the different framed in the video that the years had to jump in. My video had 3 different sections, the old section (1980-1990), the middle section(1991-2006) and the new section (2007-2012). Each of the section are of different lengths, which meant I had to work out what the delay should be for each section, below are my working out.
Sliders
Our projects had to have a interactive element. I have included sliders that allow the user to apply effects to my video. Through using these sliders they can speed the video up, freeze the video and play the clip backwards. Below is an example of the sliders at work.
