Interactive horror film/video/movie

Hahaa!!!!!! 

I found this nice and interesting interactive video,

 which the main character in the movie will call the audience and interactive with them by asking their opinion.

The programme/coding will somehow recognize certain words such as okay, no, right, left and so on.

After the audience answer, the character will continue with the story according to the chosen option.

Isn't it interesting??

INTERACTIVE HORROR MOVIE: Survive the House (Start Here)

This story is being lil bit too draggy...and too many options which will confuse the user.

I guess slowly user doesn't really know which option they didnt choose before..

and they might choose the same option again.

So, is not really good to have too many option. 

Maybe minimum 2 or 3 should be fine. 

13TH STREET „Last Call 

 This is the one I love the most which I've explained it earlier that the character interact with the audience by calling them. 

Then, user would be able to hear their breath, their real voice through phone. 

According to sweii, it is something like connect the virtual and reality world? 

But I called it 3D..haha! Which is wrong term. 

I actually think of changing my entire topic or theme into creating something horrific or creepy to provide a new experience to the user. So that they can feel they're totally immerse into the video/movie/story which usually we won't have that. This is because normally we only watch movie in one perspective which is audience, but with this way, you able to decide the ending of the story and you're part of it. 

survive the out break

This is another interactive video which I found quite sometime. 

I think the special and best part of it is the video's quality is good but I don't really attracted with the story line.

In terms of interactivity is quite common..which they got 2 options all the time. 

It's just for my reference :) 

lost cause

To begin this game you have to select one of the three perspective (small box). You may just choose one of it to follow at anytime, by roll over to it. However

After considering quite sometime, I think I just have to combine creepy element into my theme and create an horrific story yet brings out the message :) So this would not only attracts people who wish to find out my message but alsho those who love exciting story. 

Research on Stories

I'm now looking for story which carries the message of " don't judge a person by it's appearance". Since I heard a true story from Sweii which our senior did it and I think is awesome and touching. So, Im gonna try with true story. :) 

article website : robert terson

it's a story from the writer's father which deliver a message of never judge anyone by appearances alone.


video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFws-7lcUGo
don't judge me - a true story 

I don't really understand the content of this video but after watching it, I was thinking instead of a complete narative video maybe I can do something like documentary film?

video

This is a really good story line for me to take it as reference. It's all about a guy who work in this "furniture shop/company" and he kinda like this pretty lady who quite look down on him because of his appearance and job. So, he made a changes. He bought a nice outfit and classy car then he started to approach this lady and he made it. 

However on the next day she found out that the guy who approached her yesterday was actually this staff working in her company. 

I guess it's kinda interesting storyline and bring out the message clearly. It's understandable. 

story time : don't judge a book by it's cover

I read this article..it's kinda fit into my message. However, I guess it's too straight forward and just a normal story which I don't really feel it's interesting. So..forget about it :'( 

dubai dark sides

Wow..dubai dark sides..there're few true stories in this site is all convey the same message as in, dubai is not like what we think of/what we seen. We won't know the dark side or stories behind unless we experience ourself.

It's kind like interesting but quite hard to use these similar stories for my video. I'll consider about it and continue look for more stories :)

Don't judge by appearance

I think this is kinda interesting and touch. However, I don't really like it..maybe I can modify a lil bit if really wanna make it as my video's story. 

Cathy glass - damaged

I think this would be an interesting story which this writer, cathy glass, an experienced foster carer who look after a kid's name Jodie and she tried to find out the stories behind this kid that changed her personality. 

It would definitely be a nice story to talk about, but it's a book and I can't really get it through online without paying. Besides, I've to look for a kid to act in my video if I decided to use this story.

After all these researches, I don't think that true story is really a good idea for my video. For example, the 3rd story I posted here which is an commercial that the guy fell in love with the girl working together with her. It's not a true story but it's fun.

So I might go into self-created story :)

idea pitching

- 5 similar things to what you are thinking about - both direct and indirect associations, name them, sow their covers, or an image from them, you are saying 'it will be like this...'

don't judge too quickly

video

toa student showcase

it's our senior work which they allow user to interact with the flash 

at the same time leave message /comment about the video and content

child abuse

Similar like commercial poster

What is a browser?

interview.

photography website

- 4 sources of inspiration ( music, poetry, film, game, novel ) that are in play when you think about this idea

tDon

Hot and Young Punk Rock Amputee

From what we seen on this cover we know that this person got no hands. 

Then, we might start thinking her life might be quite difficult...

have to go through stuffs to continue her life.

But don't judge it until u watch the video.

judge too quickly

Don't judge a book by it's cover ( thankyou Allah to be Muslim )

People usually judge a person by their appearance, first impression, news had been spreading around, environment...etc. 

- 3 'heroes' who you associate with the work you are doing

http://it-ebooks.info/read/713/



- 2 'theories' that are of relevance

susan benett
- don't judge a book by it's cover

jeff goins writer
- yes, we do judge a book by it's cover.
- if you're a book self-published author, i've a bad news for you : Your book is being judged by it's cover.


- 1 'issue' you are ware of that will be involved in the making ...(skills, knowledge, resources ....)

- I think the main issue is that I'm not really good in coding and I wish to involve database in this project so worry that I might have problem with the back end part. 

Research on medium

sour mirror website

Image above is sour mirror's landing page. 

Image below is a flash 

infinite OZ

This is consider as a flash website??? 

The flash/video will keep on repeating. 

monoface

This is an interesting website where we can shuffle different faces.

We can change their eyes, nose, mouth, head and shoulder. 

Then we can see a girl's eyes on a guy's face. 

we choose the MOON

It's a website which has 3 stages of video and at the middle of the stage,

they'll stop down for us to interact with the buttons.

We can choose to "change view" of the rocket too.

moodstream

It's a "mood" website which you get to adjust many stuffs so that the website is nearer to your real mood. 

Then when you click on the "refresh stream" button,

the background flash would changed.

Flash

albino blacksheep

- site with lots of flash video

flow

It's a simple flash player which involve rollover and click.

 I think the most interesting part is the sound which quite match with the animation. 

Unfortunately, nothing special about the interactive part which I can consider about. 

come dancing with jah

It's another flash which only involve clicking and the character would dance differently.

flash lips

Nothing special. The only different thing is that they control the lips with keyboard.

interview with an honest boss

Okay..another nothing special. 

Just clicking the subject, 

and the boss will answer the question.

word perhect

Basically this flash player is like certain software..

short survey that I've carried out

In few hours time,  I had carried out a survey with 10 people.

My questions :

1. If you see a picture which there's a guy holding a knife pointing at a girl and his face shows a fierce expression. What would you think of ?

2. Let's say I tell you this real story behind is totally unlike what you're thinking of or your assumption. Would you interested to view a video clip which explain everything?

3. If there are more similar pictures and videos at the same time, will you continue watch all of them?

and there are some questions I asked some of them, not all. 

1. What makes you feel curious or interested to finish the video or continue proceed?

2. Will you think that few videos are too much for you?


Result

Out of 10 people, 9 of them give me similar answer.

1.

Finally, an idea.

So here's my idea.

message :
- don't judge a book by it's cover / don't judge

product :
- maximum 4 videos
- 1 minute plus per video
- cover picture/poster of the particular video ( Image grab from the video )
- interactive flash player/ youtube/ website
- place where user get to comment something else
- short video clips show ppl commenting about the poster or videos ( still under planning )

So basically, my video and poster will be like this. The moment you see the cover of this video, you'll definitely think of something else. 

But things that you see might not be true, 

you'll find out the true story once u watch the video.

Therefore my cover picture of the video or so called poster will grab from certain scene in the video clip so they'll look more relates.

Opening : 

If possible, for the opening I wish to do a short video clip. 

I'll interview people in the around/in the school with those cover picture. 

Ask for their first impression/assumption when they see the picture.

* option * then they will post up their comments on a space provided. 

Then, this opening indirectly instruct the audience/user to do the same thing.

After opening : 

Another short video/flash will be played right after the comment part.

Main message of this video  : Are you sure they're like what you think of? Don't judge.

This message will raise user's curiosity. My point is to make the user watch my first video and they'll continue with the rest. 

However, each of the video only takes around one minute plus or less than that. So, user won't get bored by long videos. 

Let's continue with some of the videos I found through youtube. :)

DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER

This is another type of video which 2 guys interview people in a mall with 2 different appearance which are expensive clothing and inexpensive clothing.

The result shows that most of the people involve in the interview when the boys are with expensive and presentable clothing.

Don't judge a book by it' cover

This might not help much in this assignment but I think it's a good video to go through.

don't judge a book with its cover (thankyou Allah to be Muslim)

So, this might be a commercial that conveying the same message. :) 



Message from me : 

Im thinking is it possible for me to do another flash player or website which contains few videos.

I'll shoot that video by myself and pick some of the scene as cover picture of that particular video clip.

People will usually misunderstood when they look into that picture,

but there's actually a story of that picture which shows in the video. 

Idea again. week 4.

im planing can I do something like documentary .

video

show ppl this message?

don't judge too quickly ( best 1 ) 

I think this is awesome! :D haha ~ 

They have lots of short story/video ...and all of them bring out the message they wanted to deliver :) 

Don't Judge Too Quickly 4

After watching some similar video clips found out that they are actually commercial and I think is quite awesome if I come out with video like this with interaction. 

Am I right? 

Don't judge too quickly

I think this is funny too. In another way. 

My Story. Dont Judge People for What They Look Like!

I found out that there are actually more videos similar to this in youtube.

They tell out their own story and give advices..

When I watch it, I feel so touch and sorry for them and I definitely think that this gonna inspire me to something else.

Besides, video above is all about a boy who judge his mother's friend because he knew the guy was a gay but after knowing him for sometime, he was getting closer to the guy. After the guy pass away, the boy felt regret and sad therefore he took this video and throw out this message to everyone.

You Know My Name Not My Story

Now here's another video again about a girl name sami who gone through lots of difficulties and finally she became a better person.

Therefore she came out with this video delivering a message that "you know my name, not my story".

I think is kinda similar to my message too. Besides, it's another similar video to the above one. 

Islamic Reminder:Do Not Judge A Person By The Way They Look

I guess this is some kind of commercial for islamic reminder.

Just 1:14 mins video clip and it brings out the message. I think I love this kind of video..

Wondering can I make an interactive video?

Is it too simple???

Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover (school project)

Haha. It's an interesting school project video which convey the same message as mine :)
