This week is a reminder to work on our Immersive Prototypes.
Frist step is:
- Wireframe
- Mockup
- Prototype
It will a 3 versions of the prototype produced for our critque session which will give us an opportunity for feedbacks.
Its important to Keep up to date are Research Blogs.
- The Blurring of Lines
For our immersive sites we should consider working beyond the small screen. This includes films, tv, images, etc.
Set the tone of your project. Examples of this is Netflix and Apple. They use this well in their opening start up screens for their products or services to good effect.
I need to consider:
- How Will I make my website immersive that will peek the interest of my chosen audience.
- How will this tell the story of Apollo Space Program.
2. Creating a World
Consider my back story of the Apollo program and how I can get users interested in my website.
Graphic design storytelling is an excellent way of getting your point across in a professional way.

3. The Power of the Pause
A simple pause can have an immeditate impact. Pauses can be soo effective on a website. Pause can enhance your story. They can create intension. Pauses create emphasise. The right words can be effective. Steve Jobs famously says “One more thing”. Pauses can be used on websites when doing transitions.
It’s important to consider were can add pause on screen.
4. Film
We can add by leaving out content. Not everything is nesscary. Make sure content has purpose and understandable.
Films can give us inspiration.
Transitions
How do transition from one point to another. Stanely Kubrik was known for using this in his work.
Colour and Constrast
This week it’s important to consider the colours for our Apollo project. Sometimes little colour can be effective. Don’t use too much. Theres a movie called Schindlers List which is in black and white with a bit of red for little girls coat.
Prespective
Consider this weather it be birds eye view or front camera etc.
5. Structure
Structure on your story is very important. Alot of films follow the 3 act structure.
- Setup
- Confrontion
- Resoloution
Example: Iron Man movies use this structure for their films effictively.
The Heros Journey
Star Wars is a good example.
The Art of Dramaturgy
This is the process of applying strucuture to a story. It teaches us there are specific acts to the story.
Classic story structures start with a beginning, middle and end.
It’s important to tell the story of Apollo to the user so theyu understand what it is about. By following structure you can make the concept successful.
