Unit 4: Create an interactive media product

 

  These images would have been 8.5MB if I did not export and shrink the file size. This would of made my website much larger than it needs to be and it would take a long time to load images especially if someone has a slow internet connection. The images need to be around 200KB for the website to load fast making the functionality better and people will use it again as it reliable. 

I plan to include interactive features such as google maps, quizzes and functioning links on my site as that will mean my website will be easily accessible and enjoyable to use. I plan to use of some of the pages from the Raving Reds fanzine which I created as this will give the audience an example of the fanzine of what's in the fanzine which may persuade people to purchase the full issue if they like what they see. The only way I will change the images is by changing the file size so that my website will not take a long time to load.  I have changed the file size of this image from 8.5MB 200KB, this will make my website better to use as it will load faster. If the website takes a long time to load, people will become inpatient and probably click off resulting in a lack of customers.  I used google maps on the next away day page where is showed the location of the oppositions ground so fans know here it is. Also, I have maps of the pubs near the ground so the fans can enjoy t...

In this report I will talk about the legal and ethical issues relating to my website and what I will do to prevent getting in trouble.  Firstly, I will ensure that my site will not contain any copyrighted images as that could end up in the original creator flagging my site and taking me to court. This will be easy for me to comply with as the images I am going to use are images of the magazine I have created myself. If I wish to use other creators images I will need to either log through the source of the image to see if they allow use or I will need to contact the owner of the image and ask if I can use it for educational purposes.  Since I have a contacts page, customers will be sending in their contact details so under the data protection act, I cannot release the contact details of my audience as they maybe spammed or contacted by scammers. To prevent this I won't share private details with anyone so they cannot be spread about. Also, if customers pay for their copy on Zin...

The idea for my product is a website that promotes my magazine, Raving Reds that I made for Unit 3. This means that my target audience is the same as the target audience for my magazine which is boys aged 12-16 who want to learn about Doncaster Rovers. The social grade of my target audience will be off a C2 and D as the website is free to use . The website will contain recent news about Doncaster Rovers to keep fans up to date on scores, travel information and roster notices. The website will have a quiz section where the user can test themselves on some general knowledge questions about Doncaster Rovers. Additionally, a player ratings system will be implemented where users can go onto the site and give players a match rating after a performance. An average will be calculated so you can see who the fans thought was man of the match. Another page will be dedicated to purchasing the fanzine I made for unit 3, this will contain The website needs to be fully interactive so I could implemen...

Netflix homepage- This is aimed at younger mainstreamer people as the older generation will use channels like ITV player of BBC iPlayer. Netflix allows people to watch new shows exclusively with a plethora of genres available. The purpose of this is to allow people to direct through shows to choose what they want to watch. It will come up with a description of the show when hovering over it to tell the audience what it is about so they may become interested. In addition, a lot of Netflix shows have an auto preview feature to try and intrigue the audience into watching the show.
