In this weeks lecture, we were introduced to conducting video analyses and tasked to conduct one on team Lambda's Brisbane park finder. The video involved one of the projects team members standing in front of the camera, speaking about the app, with periodic cuts to interfacing examples.
Analysis:
My immediate opinion of this video is one of indifference. The presentation lacked flavour and left much to be desired. The concept itself was conveyed proficiently and with simplicity. This service will allow users to search through Brisbane's parks on an interactive map, even searching for specific attributes like barbecues and soccer fields. Only one question came to mind watching this particular video, and that was if I would ever need to utilize an app such as this. < br/>
The need for an app like this may have been delivered in a more creative and engaging manner. Such as showing a group of people arriving at a bare park with picnic supplies, or bringing pets to a no animal zoned park as the presenter narrates their dilemma for the benefit of the viewer. The representation of the actual app being used on a phone was delivered excellently. It conveyed the functions of the app with great clarity and speed.
I believe creating a need, must be handled more indirectly than merely asking the viewer if they've ever encountered a particular problem. As I demonstrated before, the need for the app could be conveyed in a subtle scenario or possibly through a stylised cartoon. The video quality in this clip was of a high standard, though the audio quality appeared rather un-professional. Numerous sounds worked against team lambda, such as passing cars and cawing crows. Even once the camera cut to the prototype of the app, the audio was still being conveyed in this manner.
