final clip on avi

well The only solution I could come up with was an avi file, however im not very impressed with the quality of the clip, it's much better in the r drive, but here it is anyway

The concept was simple and although I looked at advertisements for nike and such, I didn't think it was necessary  to make the clip too energetic,but I think the jump cuts help emphasize the action of walking and how that links with navigation and burning calories.

youtube trouble!

I've been experiencing difficulties with youtube, it keeps stopping it's upload suddenly so I'm hoping to get this sorted asap!

Title screens

I have made some title screens on photoshop to introduce my video and end it better!
here are the images I made...

I thought this would be a good way to start the video and end the video, and by keeping the style the same it achieves continuity and shows the app in a phone screen, giving the user an idea of what it would look like as an app in their phone

transferring to after effects

I transferred my video to after effect, which took aaaaaages to figure out, but I managed to put it together and render it, but it came out slow at different parts, and I think I need to change the frames per second units and then I just need to add the numbers and the screen on the phone.

unfortunately youtube will upload my video in ten hours, so hopefully you can just take my word for it, as I cannot wait that long. I'll keep working on it!
plus I've decided the song I chose is ridiculously cheesy and cliche, so I'll try to find a different track to play.

video editing

I filmed my video, and i cut the shots using imovie, where I also added in music. I found the  background music from soundjay.com which is a really great place for free royalty free music. I used the track called iron man because it's fast paced and energetic, so it complements the jump cuts and montage editing which are also fast paced. It's not too cheesy either. Next stem is to take it to after effects and complete the video with some extra effects

video precedents

I looked at some atheletic based commercials, and I thought that this video had jump cut editing, not really much to do with running, but shows different kinds of paces I could use

and this one Kind of relates to my idea. It's really energetic too and the montage scenes arent too fast.

project 3! usability testing

I asked 4 different people to try out my app and answer simple questions to help me figure out how user friendly my app is
I asked the following questions:

1)how userfirendly was the interface?
2)what were the weaknesses/strengths?
3)did the app meet any of your expectations?
4)what were improvements that could've been made?

the general feedback was...

1) most people said that although it was simple and easy to use, the beginning of the app was confusing as the individuals didn't know when to use the buttons on the top bar, such as the address bar, so I think that I could've used some kind of highlight around the next button, or maybe a help button etc, etc...

2) weaknesses: text is too thin to read from a small screen, may be annoying to hold on to the phone infront of you as you walk
   strengths: no need to figure it out through a map, icons are obvious, everything that is necessary is visible and easy to understand

3)most people had no initial expectations, but one person said that they expected the app to be more on the weight loss side- as in maybe it tracks what you ate as well, or takes down your pace etc...

4) one person said that they would make all the buttons function at the top bar, another person said that a more simple colour scheme makes it less dramatic looking
