My Final piece

{ November 21, 2009 @ 12:54 pm } · { Uncategorized }

So my ideas went through 3 stages, two different video sequences and ended up as a website … heres how i got on…

I decided to stick with my idea from the last post and make it so that the viewer of my website could choose between two routes .. ‘What I See’ and ‘What I Miss’. 

The “What I see” route will take the user to the next page which presents a still image that I took on my route to uni and then you click  “carry on walking” it takes the user onto the next page and a different picture is presented and so on until the end which will say “What I see and What I miss merged” which when the user clicks on this will take them to my original video.

The same happens if they click on the “What I miss” route … except with different still images but it leads to the same “What I see and What I miss merged” page and leading to my video because after all, whether im looking at the ground doing my route or whether im taking notice of my surroundings, I still start from the same place and end up in the same place.

From the 1st page shown above… once the users of my website have chosen their route, they can then view a collection of pictures one by one that coincide with the route they selected, below are some examples of what the viewer would see if they chose the ‘What I see’ route:

And here are some examples of what the user would see if they chose ‘What I miss’

Once the user has viewed the 10 photos in the chosen sequence… both sequences lead to the same page, again shown below

When the user clicks on the words “what I see and What I miss merged” it will then take them to another page on which my original video idea is presented as a kind of rounding off piece to the website and they can watch the journey, they just took through pictures, through video, map and pictures. Afterall I had already made the video so why not include it in my final piece.

Reflection time…

I quite enjoyed making my website, I didn’t really have many problems with making it except trying to remember how to use Dreamweaver from the 2nd term of my 1st year but once I got into the flow of it, it all came flowing back to me, which was very helpful indeed. I did have to keep going backward and forward for linking my pages because i seemed to always forget to do the “Psychogeography Home” link so every time I tried out the page I always came to a brick wall with that link which got annoying after a while but it wouldnt have been right if I remembered to do everything 1st time round… its more challenging this way.
