Meeting 19/11/2019 and video idea

Today we had a  small meeting with the home group, except Sophie K.We decided that since we only have one more lesson after tomorrow to do anything for the project, then it is the presentation.

So we have decided that we are each going to be doing a small video to be shown on the screens, these videos can be anything we want them to be, so could be animation, time-lapse, etc. 

We each decided on an issue that we thought that we could visualise. I chose Waste, this is due to the fact that I had an idea for this one and thought it would be quite easy. 

Since we are on such a strict deadline we decided that we would have proof of concept tomorrow and any initial drawings etc, to show we are doing work. Then next week we will have our final videos, and that session would be spent making and painting the prototype for the presentation the following week. 

My initial idea for the video was to empty out a bin onto the floor to show how much waste is produced on average by one person per day, then time-lapse the video. However, I did not want to deal with the clean up, and it wouldn't look particularly professional. 

My final idea for the videos is to have drawn rubbish to fall into a tube to show the average rubbish produced by one person per day. This would be similar to the tv show, supersize vs super skinny. This would show exactly how much is produced, as well as shock the viewer, as it is often difficult to visualise things when it is a statistic on paper.

What I would change after doing the presentation

I have decided since I have now done the presentation and finalised the prototype that I would think of somethings that I would change and improve since hearing HOME's feedback and how I personally feel about the finished product. The first thing I would change is the animations, I would remake them so they had more things happening, maybe remove the black background on the live statistics. I would honestly just make them look more professional, as they look very amateur at the moment. The next thing I would do is I would add some sound to the video, this sound could be optional so if the screens are in a public space it would be silent, but if it is in a small confined space where it is okay to have sound it could be played, this is because it was quite dull and empty feeling without the sound. The kinds of sounds I would have is like for each different animation sounds that go along with it, such as for the plastic in oceans have water and bubbles popping, or for air pollutio...

Writing the research and design proposal document

After the presentation was finished we focused on the research and design proposal document. Since I had already almost finished my blog and other people in the group had not, I decide that I would offer to write most of it. I began by breaking down the topics that were specified in the brief. These were break down of the brief/what they wanted, sources of inspiration/design stylings, evolution of the project, final design proposal/idea, evaluation of work.  Then a few days later I broke down the sections further, this was so we would have more specific sections so its easier to write for. These were: Break down of brief/research on HOME, What HOME wanted/needed, Research into climate crisis, Sources of inspiration, Style sheet, Idea evolution, What we did, How we did it, What we wanted to get out of this project, What we think of our work, How we worked together, Things we would change since the presentation, Blog links. This left 178 words per topic. I began working o...

Style sheet

This was for the beginning of this blog, but Blogger deleted the post :( I put together a quick style sheet for our HOME project, this is just to help us ensure we're all using the same colours, fonts, and stylings for drawings and animations. I decided to do this as it is useful to show that we have thought about the stylings, and it will show the style for the research and design booklet without using any words. For the colour theme we used HOME's original colours, but added black and white. I added the 'drawing style' section as it helps us to stick with the stylings of the drawing. I also added the 'Shapes' section, as when I was working in industry we did not have this section on the style sheet and it really confused me and the marketing team as we did not know what style of shapes they wanted us to use. Also if we did not have this section, it could mean that there is inconsistencies in shapes over the prototype, such as if we use hexagons for one...
