Now that I’ve had an in-depth one-on-one conversation with my tutor Kyla about my 4th Assignment, I am confident that I have solidified a plan, however, I’m pretty close to abandoning the lot!
My original idea is centred around ‘location’ using a geonavigation app that delivers videos, interviews, podcasts and audio tours that are about where ever it is you’re standing. It is an app for your smartphone and it works by ascertaining where you are through GPS, so for example, if I was in St Kilda, I would click on St Kilda on a Google maps style map, and it would play a story about the area.
As I’m sensing that this idea sucks, I am returning to the drawing board. I still want to include a strong emersive sense of location with an ‘art housey’ feel but instead of a tourist app, it will be more like a podcast about something that is quintessentially Melbourne.
Stay tuned!
