Week 5 - The End Is Here!!

We have finally come to the end of our interactive documentary making! Our final product is exporting and now all we have left to do is present!

Our interface image is a bedroom, which within it has various objects which you can interact with. 

The phone links to our Girls Out Loud helpline which displays various questions which the user can click on and a radio interview will play. The safari button on the phone links to a quiz surrounding our topic of popularity to ensure there are features within the documentary where users can participate. 

The laptop links to our various social media platforms and our blog so that users can familiarise themselves with our production process, interact with surveys, learn more about the charities and view various facts and images surrounding the theme.

The television holds our two main interviews with The Shine Project and Step4ward. There is information about each organisations, introductions to the founders and professional opinions and advice.

The make up bag offers facts about each topics while also having videos portraying teenage girls experiences and opinions so users can relate to the project while also learning about other peoples histories. 

With our project submitted, all we have left to do it prepare for our presentation tomorrow to make sure we show off our work to the best of our ability.

Overall we are very happy with our project and the final product is much better than we even envisioned it being. The long hours and mild hysteria have been worth it!

Today we spoke to Pauline Couch from Step4Ward who was able to give us a professional opinion #prettylittlepressures pic.twitter.com/u44oKJBwQa

Week 4 - Our Social Media

We want to create the most interactive, up to date documentary as we possible can. In order to allow users to be able to connect with the subject we want to give them as many different outlets to follow us on as possible. This way they can begin interacting with the documentary before it has even been released, this will raise the profile of our work and gain some following.We have created a facebook and a twitter in order to connect with our audience.



Our twitter is @prettypressures. We have been using it to post our blog links whilst also posting facts, update photos, links to our Facebook page and retweeting relevant links. We have created the hashtag #prettylittlepressures so that it is easier to follow our story.
