The interviews!

So as a group we interviewed willing participants in order to bring another dimension to our website. As the website wasn't live at the time we decided to interview in a light hearted fashion that would simply demonstrate the mood of the website. The long term goal for the website Is to have interviews by topic, possibly on a monthly basis. Eventually dependent on the success of the website i'd like to see these small supplements develop in to something more of a documentary. My inspiration for this would be something like 'Noisy' https://www.youtube.com/user/noisey or 'Vice' https://www.youtube.com/user/vice

My Personal Inspiration

So for the site we decided it would be cool to have some videos and stop motions. The idea was that once the site was live we could do a monthly supplement interviewing users and using their images for the home page stop motion.

My inspiration was us as a team. We all enjoy different types of holidays. I enjoy partying, Arfa enjoys site seeing and Eliana enjoys drinking cocktails on the beach. This inspired me to create a stop motion or a video for each of these different themes and pages.

To create the videos i pooled together the teams images and videos plus what we had already gathered from volunteers. On top of this I used music from free mixtapes with no copy rights.

My favourite video so far is the Ibiza experience video. I like this one because all of the video was filmed on a camera phone. this gives the video the gritty feel most of us experience when in Ibiza night clubs.

The budget.

The Budget for this website was minimal and as all of the content is user generated we had minimal outgoings.

The Banner!

The next step was creating the Banner. Like the Logo this was created on Photoshop using images given to us by participants in the website.

The Logo!

After much deliberation we decided on a final Logo for the website.

Plan B's

Obviously things rarely go to plan in life. but that is why we have plan b's. We originally began to film to the schedule but we experienced various difficulties such as organisation and equipment failure. In the end however our plan B came together well and we managed to get all of our filming done in a few days.

19th February- 1st day of filming

3rd March- 2nd day of filming 

5th March- 3rd day of filming and final day

This gave me a lot more time to focus on the editing of the videos and stop motions.
