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 pollution have cars and factory noises.
Another thing I would change is that I would make it into a social media campaign, this is because HOME really wanted something that people would engage with, if it were a campaign it would've been better as people would engage with it. As well as it would add more emphasis behind the project, just because it feels a bit empty and like it is for nothing. Also after seeing the moving posters I have an image of that being on instagram and I think it would look really impactful and good.
Something else that I would change is that I would make it so that the drawings were done by other people as well, so it could be artists that show their work at HOME, or some school kids. This would make the whole thing more interactive and get the community involved.
I would also make the whole piece more interactive. Currently it is just a video that we expect people to stop and watch, however personally I don't think I have ever stopped to watch a video, it would be more impactful and rememberable if it were interactive. Something like having a screen where you can write what you're going to change after seeing the video would've been good, as it is not too in your face but it still encourages people to interact and speak up about the topic.
