OVE – Project 3 – Video 6 – How to bake a cake? (Flash – Interactive)

Cake

This video explores how interactivity can be used in creating an instructional video. This video allows the user to navigate between the steps at their own pace while learning how to bake a cake in a humorous and creative fashion. It uses both text and illustrations to show what is required from the user in a simple and easy-to-use way. The key advantage to this format is that the user has full control over the content as they decide whether they would like to continue to the next stage, stay where they are or repeat a previous step. The video is fairly linear as the viewer only has the choice to go forwards or backwards rather than going off track. The audience just gets the visuals required to understand the steps involved to keep the animation as simple as possible. I feel this video is successful as it gives a clear and visually stimulating way to present the information to the viewer while still allowing the viewer have control over the video.
