virgin media advert

I really liked the way the words were used in this advert as i think it makes you really listen to what is being said. Theres also an element of excitement because there is so much going on and you find yourself trying to catch up with what is happening.

problems ..

I have been having problems importing the videos into flash , so i think i am going to have to think of alternative videos to put ion place of the videos i took at the competition, heres a video i edited of a moving tap shoe, i quite like this video, i like the old fashioned theme and the way the tap shoe looks as if its moving on its own.

nokia website

i think this website has a neat layout, user friendly, simple but works well. I also like the idea that you can veiw different aspects of the phone by clicking on them, it gives the user a better idea of whether the like the phone and if they would consider buying it.

...

The other 2 components in my video camera will be a tap shoes tapping and a slideshow of videos from dance performances.

videos for flash

For videos to put in the video cameras i filmed dnaces at a recent competition that nottingham trent held, i did very little editing to the videos as i wanted them to look as they had just been filmed.

Gwen stephani - music video

In my opinion this is one of the best music video's i have ever seen. I really like the way that they have taken a childrens story such as alioce in wonderland and converted it to being modern. This video never bored me becuase there is so much going on.

Final outcome

creating my video camera

To create my video camera to use in my flash interactive project i decided to create it in 3D studio max.

Websites

I really liked the layout of this website and the idea of it although i did not understand it as it was in a foreign language and the intructions of what to do were not very clear and i found myself wondering what to do at the very begining. I do reali like the layout and presentation of this website though.

Problems with project2

As i have very little experience with flash I'm finding it hard to get any of my ideas to work, so i think i am going to have to simplify my ideas to get an achievable outcome. To do this i think my new idea will be to have 5 interactive video cameras so that when they are clicked videos play from rehersals and shows.

response to alcohol adverts

In response to this i decided to do some drawings that relate to similar kind of theme. I decided to look at the theme of drugs firstly.

I then started looking at artists who created pieces that had links with issues such as drink driving when i came across Kathe Kolwitz , i found this piece which i copied using pencil on cartridge paper.

...

While creating my animation in 3d studio max i looked at linking the objects so that one thing led to another. Here are some screen shots from my work in 3D studio max.

And here is my first attempt at creating the animation , i am not happy with this version as the order of things all happens too fast.

3D studio max

As it was quite evident i needed to work on my animation, i decide to start over fresh and work on a completely new project , i decided to use an object instead of a person as my avatar as i thought certain objects suited my personality better. Some idea's i thought of were :

• Dice- represents the fun loving side of my personality
• Tornado- represts my energetic side
• Snoflakes/ rain -represents my feminine soft side.

After giving this a lot of thought i decided to base my animation on a dice. My dice will interact with different aspects from the world of games such as :

• Board games
• Juggling balls
• balloons
• chess pieces
• dominos
• Playing cards
• Hop skotch

After developing my idea's i decided that my favourite idea was the dance kit bag with interactive items within the bag and started thinking of interactive objects that could have been in the bag, some ideas i came up with were:

• An interactive tap shoe that started tapping when you clicked on it.


• A water bottle that spilt over when it was clicked on.


• Make up that moved and drew on the bag


• Dance hats and masks that moved


• Hairspray that sprayed when it was clicked on


• Dance laces and hair ribbons that tied when clicked

Project 2 - identities

Interactive box
After thinking about some idea's for my interactive box i think i want to work with one of my main interests which is dance. Some of the ideas i had were:

• An interactive dance bag with tapping tap shoes, open photo albums, pouring water etc.
• A stage with interactive lights, dancers etc.
• A backstage area with interactive microphones, make up, water bottles, etc.
• Dance studio with interactive ballet bars,music players etc.

alcohol adverts

This alcohol- know your limits adverts is in my opinion one of the best adverts iv seen in a while, it really gets the point across as it really relates to a lot of feelings you have when under the influence of alcohol. This advert scared and shocked me a little bit which is why i think it works really well.

speed awareness adverts

After viewing some speed awareness videos i really liked the overall outcome of these adverts.



I really like the way this advert has been filmed on a camera phone, as i think it dramatises the boy getting hit by the car as you are not expecting it at all. With all these adverts i think they work, as a driver myself i was shocked to see these and makes me not want to speed.
