Synopsis of Video.

Our video, created by some computer programs and shots of drawings, focuses around the topic of Augmented Reality, through covering the basics of the topic such as what it is, what it can be used for, the advantages and disadvantages of using it and through using the developing google glasses as an example of augmented reality. The purpose/goal of our movie is to educate and help our target audience (which is the class in this case) to understand this new and advanced developing piece of technology.

Gantt Chart.

This is the gantt chart that indicates our group's workflow for the whole assesment. So far, we have closely been following this chart and working according to plans.

Final Storyboard.

This is our final storyboard for our video project, containing a combination of all our individual storyboards put together. The lines in green are Anjeli's narrations, the lines in red are Justine's narrations and the lines in blue are my narrations.

Creating a Storyboard
Today in class, my group and I split the components of the project between us to complete a storyboard on. I have the topic of What Can Augmented Reality Do. Below are the storyboards I have created for these components of the presentation.

What Augmented Reality Can Do

Sequence: #1
Shot Description: Oblique Shot
Transition In: Pixelate
Video Image:  Props including Google Glasses, Cockroaches and a Gaming Set
Audio Recorded: Narration/Script
Added Audio: Instrumental Music
Transition Out: Flip
Estimated Time of Take: 1 minute
Narration/Script: Augmented Reality can be used for a various amount of reasons. One example, is that it can help with overcoming your fears. You may not believe this, but it’s true. Take someone who is afraid of cockroaches for example.  Augmented Reality can help this person overcome their fear, as when they look anywhere, like a screen for example;  Augmented reality will automatically project the surface with cockroaches. The idea of this is that it will expose this person to their fear (by controlling the amount of cockraoches they want to appear) to gradually extinguish it. This does not only work for cockroaches however, as it can also help other fears such as flying or falling. Another example that augmented reality can be used for is to enchance gaming, which is currently the most common use for augmented reality. How, you may ask. Well, it can change gaming by bringing your game out of the screen and into the real world, by projecting it in places around you, making you the main character of your own game. These are many more uses for this upcoming advanced piece of technology and the possibilities are endless.

Disadvantage of Augmented Reality; How Expensive It Is

Sequence: #1
Shot Description: Close up Shot
Transition In: Crossfade
Video Image:  Props including a Person, Money and a Company
Audio Recorded: Narration/Script
Added Audio: Instrumental Music
Transition Out: Pixelate
Estimated Time of Take: 20-30 seconds
Narration/Script: With many individuals going through financial problems in today’s society, it may become difficult for augmented reality to be sucessful in sales. This therefore, can come as a disadvantage to both consumers and the manufacturers of augmented reality. It will affect the manufacturers itself, as if they don’t sell their products sucessfully, then they won’t be able to make a profit and creating these products may be considered a waste of both time and materials and it will affect individuals as they may not have enough money to afford this sophisticated piece of technology.

Advantage of Augmented Reality; Advancing Today’s Technology

Sequence: #1
Shot Description: High Angle Shot
Transition In: Flip
Video Image: Props including Technicians, Hospitals and People
Audio Recorded: Narration/Script
Added Audio: Instrumental Music
Transition Out: Crossfade
Estimated Time of Take: 30 seconds
Narration/Script: Augmented Reality has already been in the process of development for decades and is now currently on its way to entering the market. This can pose as an advantage for augmented reality, as through releasing  this newly developed and sophisticated technology, it could help in increasing and advancing technology in specialised places such as hospitals, where it would not only help in the survival of the sick patients but it can also be a source of entertainment and education for them while they are there. Releasing augmented reality also increases the standards of future technology, therefore challenging other manufacturers to also create and develop new and advanced technology that will sophisticate the future.

1st of June 2012.

Today in class, my group & I have planned out the structure of our video project. Below is the layout, including the titles & sub-headings we will be presenting in order for this assignment.

Topic: What is Google Glasses/Augmented Reality

Layout:

1. Introducing 'Augmented Reality'; How it works & POV shots.
2. What it can do/Functions; POV shots, More things it can do (List).
3. Advantages; Advancing technology, Endless possibilities & Multi-purpose.
   Disadvantages; Health, Privacy & Price.
4. Google Glasses; Case study / example; Design, Appearance, Structure, Possibilities, Development, POV shot.
