THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A VISUALISATION DIAGRAM

What effectiveness means:
1. Fit for purpose
2. A strength (good thing)
3. How well it does whatever it is meant to do
4. How useful it is

I will need to prove how it is effective using examples from the brief.
Personnel - Job roles
FEATURES which make it effective.

Shows the graphic designer what font styles should be included.
Shows the graphic designer what house style needs to be used also shows the synergy, since all over products should have the same house style.
We can get feedback from audience/client to get feedback improves the final product.

What is in the visualistation diagram, prove that it is useful

FEEDBACK:
Client (views/opinions/changes)
Audience (views/opinions/changes)

If the client/audience don't like the visualisation diagram (negative feedback) visualisation diagrams  are ADAPTABLE so that we can make it appeal to a WIDE target audience.

ANNOTATIONS:
-for the coder (in oder to know what interactive features are needed), the designer (in order to explain design ideas/visuals)

House style (colours, Font style (serif/sans-serif), images, graphics) HOUSE STYLE NEEDS TO BE CONSISTENT house style

-ANNOTATIONS NEED to show how the visualisation diagram fits/links to the requirements of the brief

DRAWING:
-illustrations to represent the layout of the product


















SITEMAPS

What should Sitemaps include:
-Bread crumb trail
-sub pages
-title of web site
-interactive features

Hyperlinks:
-pages and sub pages would have hyperlinks
-how they link together to the bread crumb trail (how it creates bread crumb trail)
-interactive features (photos/videos/graphics/logos/shapes/EVEN TEXT)

INTERACTIVE FEATURES ARE THERE TO ATTRACT THE AUDIENCE
The coder/Programmer needs to see this so they know how to make the website.
-social media link (attracts target audience , good source of REVENUE STREAM) SYNERGY CROSS PROMOTING

Pages and Subpages:
-need to be in order of importance, first box should always be ABOUT
-square which always needs to be included is a LOGIN or REGISTER page
-Pages and Subpages need to be linked to the brief
-Pages and Subpages are buttons
-BREAD CRUMB TRAIL ease of navigation for end-users, freedom to where they want, users are used to using bread crumb trails, because all websites/apps use them, they are structured the same

Hierarchical Structure:
-homepage is always at the top because that is the first thing the user is going to see...
-helps audience navagate
-recognisable structure (end-user AND programmer)
-structure of a website
-ease of navigation for audience/end-user

Annotations:
-ease of navication for audince/appeal
-interactive features
-consistent housestyle on pages/sub pages needs to be there for the designer

LO1: Revisions

LO4: Story board:

What is the purpose of a storyboard:
To show the camera person, editor, and everyone included in the production, how the film should look and sound, however it focuses more on how the film should appear.

Camera person looks at it to know how to frame the action.

Editor looks at it to make decisions.

Director looks at it to control the action.

We use it to represent the visuals to support the narrative of the product.

Which one would you complete first? Storyboard or script?
I would compete the script first, because I would then use the script to determine what my storyboard should look like.

FEATURES OF A STORYBOARD:
-Scene number
-Timing per shot/frame (in seconds)
-Basic information about mise-en-scene (location (INT/EXT) characters, action).
-Shot type (abbreviated)
-Angle
-Description of the scene/action
-"Key Dialogue"
-Location: INT (inside)/EXT (outside)
-Scene number (comes from script.
-Camera Movement arrows
-Transitions/editing
-Editing decisions
-Information about the use of sound (key dialogue/SFX-Sound effects/music). NON DIEGETIC MUSIC.
-Camera type(DSLR/Sony Prosumer)/lens type
-Angles
