How was it introduced ? We were shown the different stages involved in the production of actual design. Mock ups, Prototypes, Demos etc. However there are very slight differences among few. Prototypes are again varied on the fidelity. Low-High.
Different Types : Paper Prototyping involving basic sketches and explaining the concept is a low fidelity prototyping. Where as video prototyping or Interactive Prototyping using Flash or other software is High fidelity prototyping.
Topics : All the 30 students were divided into 4 groups and were given topics to choose.
Our team was: KARMA ( the fate )
Manoj Manduva
Shilpa Chaudhry
Gaurang Gupta
Shivi Kapil
Kumudini Roherkar
Vinay Kumar
Topic : Sustaiable Design for LifeStyle
" I chose the topic because for a lifestyle to be changed for good , for a sustainable design to be induced ,it has to lure ,intrigue.
We develop a bad lifestyle out of bad education which affects us really early and lasts throughout life. So its a bigger challenge later in life to deal with such a situation. "
Our prime objective in the design was to choose a sustainable solution that can be induced at all stages of life ( from childhood to elder class ) and to all strata of people ( working class to executives ).
Process : The different steps involved in the Video Prototyping were
1. Ideation / brainstorming
2. Storyboard development
3. Filming /Movie making
4. Editing
Idea : We had several ideas of which few were:
1. Game for Value Education - primary school children (a design solution for children to make them learn the values early in playful way so that there lifestyle is forever set right )
2. Cycle transit in cities ( Pollution , Energy Conservation are the burning issues of today. We can tackle them by simple solutions such as cycle utilization in urban areas )
Changes we made : We shared our ideas with the faculty and they wanted us to be more implementable in approach , so we tailored the idea to suit our own college .
Camera : Sony Handycam
Editing Tools : Adobe Premiere
Duration : 2 days
Approach : We wanted to try something new in movie making and tried " Green Matte "
concept and made the characters move over hand drawn backgrounds which was well appreciated.

The video prototyping course was really helpful and more reasonable at this juncture because it taught how to make the design concept be empathetic to users, how can the users approve of the design by imagining themselves in the characters.
