Beta Testing

Today we did a Beta test for our final animations,

First Peer
After viewing my animation they thought that it was well put together and has a certain style to it which I appreciated, the only thing they suggested to improve on or create was an effect in-between the different scenes and as I am already going to add them, nothing was changed.

Second Peer
The second peer suggested that there should be some sort of caption with text to determine what is happening in the animation. Although I wanted to avoid this so that the viewer could picture what is happening and feel involved in the animation, I still took this suggestion on-board as I think it could really help improve my story and I am now going to make a caption or two for each scene, explaining what is happening.

Interactive Comic Research

Dead On Arrival

Dead On Arrival is an interactive comic that uses various different techniques that involve interactivity, the comic is displayed in a way that makes it seem almost real. Each page of the comic is interactive as you must drag the corner of each part (page) of the comic to turn over to the next. The style of this comic is a lot like Sin City, using the same sort of filters - mostly black and white/dark with some colours highlighted to emphasise them. This helps to give the effect of a mystery crime scene which is what the comic is all about.
