Week Three - 31st January - 6th Feb


New ideas/ changes to the project:

We have decided to use a photo montage incorporating Polaroids instead of a cartoon map. The Polaroids will be of places in Bristol, mainly of the venues we are going to get content for our website from.



By using the first blank Polaroid we have started to create our own Polaroids from images we have collected. We have also added logos such as the second picture.

The map will predominantly be made up of areas we’ve taken photos / videos of. For example, one area will have one event. The events will either be shown through the use of still images or recorded audio and visuals. 

As the user will be able to click on a venue and discover it through the content we are providing it is almost like a sort of virtual reality in the way that even though the user is not in the venue, they may feel like they have a sense of place whilst interacting with our website. 

This look magazine advert is a series of still images which change in time with the music. I could recreate this with one of the venues I have chosen to use, such as Thekla:
 


In the advert the above image appears to move as the people's faces become closer together. However this is just a series of still images taken from the same angle and quickly edited to make the people move closer. I could use this technique in one of my own productions.

We also discussed the websites future and how it could be used. We decided that it could be updated with new content on a regular basis so we might want to include some text which says: 'next week/ time...' with some information of what is coming up.



As for navigation the Polaroids of the venues will have links to the content we are providing on that particular venue. We are still discussing how this content will come up, whether it is going to be in a pop-up or if it will link to another page for each of the seperate contents.
