In week 1 we were introduced to Jitter, which is an extension of Max-Msp.In Jitter we can work on media such as movies, pictures etc .by using Matrix format.There are four types of jitter matrices :char, long, float32 and float 64, but we are going to use char, which is the most used type.It is similar to Supercollider,which we did the previous semester.One of the differences between them, that was mentioned in the class, is that in Jitter (and Max generally) we use different objects and connect them to achieve a specific function, but in Supercollider all parameters can be entered in few lines using the C programming language.

We were asked to study the first five Jitter tutorials, which teach you some useful objects which allow you to  make color changes on movies and pictures.

I bought two books that may help me on Max Msp , since i haven’t used it before.
