Feedback questionaires

To get some quality feedback from my project i decided to do a questionaire on potential clients from the gym. Using 7 questions, asking people that use the gym there opinions on the gym. I am going to ask people of all ages and a mixture of gender.

My thoughts on the final product

I think through this whole experience i have discovered what its like to work for an employee. If it my was choice i wouldnt have done the navigational videos at 1 minute each and i wouldn't have done the promotional video as long as 3 minutes, but it wasn't my decision and i had to follow someone elses orders which is something i have never done while producing multimedia products. I think this experience will be invaluable and will be the same in any industry i go into. Overall i think the quick sharp shots work well as well as the speeding up at the end, and were good ways of introducing a fast moving pace. I think the video also tells the viewer everything they need to know, making the gym look fun and easy showing different types of people using the gym. Although i have my own feedback from my client i will also create a questionaire to ask members of the gym and non-members to see how successful they think the video will be . The last section of the video where the frame duration becomes shorter and shorter was a last minute decision i made as i thought the video needed a build up to the end. I think the idea worked well but because i did it so last minute it could look more proffesional. I don't hand the video to Hoofers until 26/04/10 so i have time to re-adjust this before handing them the final product.

3 Minute promotional video - final

Navigational video - Swimming pool

Navigational video - Boxing studio

Navigational video - Ladies Oasis Gym

Navigational video - Aerobics studio

Navigational Video - Main gym

The finished cut of the navigational video didn't vary too much from the first edit apart from adding audio and graphics but i think it was worked out well and will show people what the main gym can offer them.

The same applies for this navigational video , i think the content of the shots and order works with the story board but i think i need to do some work on the lighting on this one as there are lots of different tones and it can distract from what is being shown.

I think the layout of shots works well and is in sync with my storyboards. I think matching the shots with my audio will be simple but maybe need to move some shots around to work with my voiceover. But once i have merged everything together i feel that this gives all the information needed in a one minute navigational video.

Navigational videos

Now i have sorted the frame size out i can concentrate on fine tuning my navigational videos. These were easier to edit than the promotional video becuase the promotional video has so much in it and is being used as a marketing tool to attract members whereas the navigational videos are informative so are pretty straight forwards shots of the gym with simple voiceover.

Frame size sorted!

I finally sorted the issue i had with frame sizes and got them all the same size so i could now get on with the editing process. I decided to the beginning sequence need to be at a faster pace with more cutting movement shots to aquire my desired effect. After feedback from my client, we both decided that the split screen wasn't working as square blocks but we liked the long split screen into 4 . So in this edit i made all of my split screens likethis. However i don't feel like this works still. I think i need to play around with the composition of shots in the split screens. I also need to look at the audio and how it will work with the footage.

Other competition?

•Virtual body jam
•Dance fire – Dance mat
• Nintendo Wii Dance Dance
Revolution Hottest Party 2
•Dance revolution – eyetoy
•Just dance – Nintendo Wii




In order to rival competition i need to develop idea's that are unique and offer something different that people will benefit from rather thn just another game.

To test this I hired the consoles for 1 night at www.rentrite.co.uk as well as the sports games and dance games and tested them for usability and links to my game i tested this on :

-5 people on a points system
-30 minutes on each game
- one dance game and one racing game

Initial research into games consoles

I intially compared the price, availablity, versatility, and how easy it was to use. This gave me an idea of which one would be the best option in terms selling the game to people.

Artefact 4

Follwing on from my third artefact i wanted to develop the creation of a game that would allow users to copy a "learn to dance video" including all the features tested in my last artefact, at the same time as monitoring themselves on webcam. In order to do this i will have to use two seperate computer screens. One showing the video and one showing the webcam image.
This method will be tested on the four dancers that did my last artefact and then a 20 minute discussion will occur between each participant and myself to gain useful feedback
