For our final mini brief, we were given the topic YouTube Annotations, which is videos on YouTube that the viewer can interactive with buy using annotations which can lead to different situations. We looked at many different examples .Some were games that people could either win or lose, or they were more serious, such as one about knife crime and what would you do in different scenarios.
In groups of four, we decided to mind map different ideas we could use as we wanted to come up with something we could create using our own footage. Our first idea we felt could work was to create a game, based around the popular Where's Wally/Hide and Seek where there would be a kids character that you would have to choose different hiding places to find. However we felt it was too straight forward and we couldn't really be creative with the annotations if the viewer found the character in the correct place.
We eventually after a lot of thought, came up with an idea based around the computer game Grand Theft Auto, where you would have to go on a mission to find a wanted person. This is what we did, you at first had to find the character in different locations, then successfully follow the character without getting spotted and to take photos to complete the mission. We had different annotations so it wasn't as simple. Once editing the video together, it wasn't very difficult to actually add annotations, it just took some time to look at the right times and to make sure when you clicked on an annotation and took it to the right position.
I did enjoy this brief, as I felt our product worked well and did what we wanted to do. If we had more time we could have added more annotations and more scenarios to let the narrative grow.
