HANDIN 300WORD

For my third artefact I tried to recreate an interactive film using Macromedia Flash 8 using a range of different interactive elements.
Interactive films have become easier to produce since the creation of flash players and higher speed internet connections. I found that the interactive film "the affair" was the most interesting of the different films I studied because it had a range of different interactive elements integrated into its playback and this is what I wanted to recreate.
After attempting to recreate this type of video in Flash 8, almost two weeks passed with no success, I had to admit that this was a failed test due to my lack of knowledge in flash scripting. For the past two years I have been a audio/visual student and I have been focusing on Film work, techniques, software’s, hardware’s and perfecting my speciality and skills in film, by doing so I have lacked knowledge in other areas of the multimedia field, this being online/ interactive environments.
For my fourth artefact I wish to produce a collaborative interactive video with a fellow student studying the online/ interactive environments pathway, the person who has agreed to participate in this experiment is Craig Thomas. I will compare the results we achieve, with the results I gained from my previous artefact. For the next two weeks we will both produce video documentation of our progress and how successful it is to produce an interactive video when the interactive scripting is being written by a specialist in the online/ interactive environments pathway.

Interactive artefact 3

interactive films have become easier to produce since the creation of flash players and higher speed internet connections,i found that the interactive film "the affair" was the most interesting of the different films i analysised, however i was to look at the use of such things as social networking sites like youtube can easily create interactive videos on a basic level using annotations as links to the different sites

so for my third artefact i want to use youtube to produce a short interactive video and see what problems arise

Crime Face

crimeface is a interactive drama video game. the audience has no control over the video clips but as more of the footage is shown more information/hints to the crime are revealed,

the affair

this is a website based on interactive videos, i like the design of the footage because it allows you to watch the short video clip from differnt angels of the room, from the different angels you can see a more indepth idea to the movie for example when watching video angel one you see the husband and wife talking but from angel two which you still see the couple talking but you can now also see behind the bedroom door which is hideing another male figure in his boxers,at the bottom of the website you can see the percentage that you have unlocked, you can zoom into the footage when you want and zoom out, as well as looking at a chart of you progess, this showing what pathways you have taken

Lynx Twist Advert

this is a promotional advert for the new lynx deodrant, the target audience is men and it can only be played on facebook or through the xbox live marketplace

throughout the storyline the main character can make multiply choices on the best way he can keep the girl he likes entertained, this is done by choices that change his appearence, his attitude and personality

Late Fragment

for this artefact im going to look at 5 different interactive videos and the methods they use to create interaction within the video

the first video i am going to look at is "late fragment", which is a canadian interactive movie, the story is based on three strangers lives which are fractured by thoughts and acts of violence. In this interactive feature film, viewers unravel their interlocked stories with a simple click.

In Late Fragment, group therapy scenes function as a visual menu for the storylines. therefor you can click when one character (Theo) is in the frame to find out why he cuts himself, or click when you see character 2 (Faye) to learn who she's visiting in jail.or why is character 3 (Kevin( waiting so calmly for the police?by clicking on the remote it doesnt ust allow you to go to differnt scenes at random, it allows you to learn a more indepth idea to each of the character feelings and emotions.
