Week 11 - 29/03/11

We are getting close to the deadline now and with only one week left to complete our project, I feel that we will finish it to a high standard. After having some problems with Flash and not being able to make some of the buttons to work, we figured out what was going wrong and were able to copy this code over to the rest of the venues. Videos montages have been created for Motion, Thekla and Basement 45, and videos have been made for The Croft and The Royal Academy. These have all been embedded in Flash and all display a recent event that happened in March from all varieties of tastes.

I created the video for a night that happened in Basement 45, but the focus of the review is for the  promoter of the night Crazy Legs. This promotion team put on nights and book DJs which play and produce forward thinking underground bass music, which is genres such as Future Garage, 2-Step, Intelligent Dubstep and Future Bass. The sound hasn't really got a concrete name yet and can be called many things but its growing fast in popularity and some big nights and names are already coming out of it. I want this website to be ahead of the game and show people off the map sort of club nights, pushing this style of night is exactly what the website is about.

Now that we have created the bubbles which display information when you roll over certain places, we really have kept the information to a minimum and are relying solely on visual aspects to allow the user there own opinion.

Instead of a text based experience aimed at finding and connecting bits of information the goals of the immersed user will include the visual and sensory pleasures of spatial exploration.
