We’re now in the final stage of our development process – putting all of the elements together to create the final product. This is been going on for a little while now and is a bit complicated compared to a traditional film. We’ve got a few elements to juggle: editing the video, designing the website and putting the quiz together. This is really where we are focusing on the cross-platform characteristic of the project, trying to make it a seamless experience for the viewer that hopefully feels like one project rather than different platforms squashed together.

When picking a website design for our Wix page, we wanted something simple, bold and eye catching. There aren’t many pages or buttons, so the design needed to be clean. We looked at some websites made with Wix in order to get some inspiration. Here is an example, and another one. These encapsulate the simplicity of what we are going for – big writing, few options. We want people to go straight into our project rather than wander around a website.

Our current website design

For the quiz, we’re still going with the platform uQuiz, and we’re embedding it into the website to avoid outside links or webpages. We’ve run into a couple of problems designing the quiz, just technically so –  the pictures can only be a certain size when inside an answer, so we’ve had to compromise on one fragment and put the image in the question. However, for the most part it has come together well and is completely functional.

We’ve mostly edited the video itself with Adobe Premiere Pro, and just tried to make sure of a couple of things during the process:

a) Most videos have their own aesthetic ‘vibe’ and sound, so we get unique answers about which videos viewers found engaging.

b) The videos are chained together swiftly to create the ‘blur’ effect I talked about in my last blog post, which will hopefully end up meaning viewers won’t be able to remember everything, therefore they will selectively remember what stood out to them the most.

We believe these two characteristics are key to accurate answers from users of our quiz, ideally tying the whole thing together. We’ve just got to put the finishing touches on now and put all of our elements online.
