Final First Aid Video ( for interactive whiteboards activites)


This is my final video, I'm quite happy with my outcome although I still feel there is more room for improvement and development, this is basically a prototype of how it will work.

1min video creative ( proposed design solution)

Then I started looking at more creative sales pitches videos, here are some 
that give me inspiration using storyboards:

I like this style , it seems so simple and straight to the point, not to sure yet
if i want to go for animation though, but still a great idea

I really like this idea of paper prototyping, i think seen as my idea is interactive hands on, this may
work better for my sales pitch. I've actually made one before and enjoyed the process and felt like it put my idea across nicely.



1min video ( proposed design solution )

Now that I have my idea worked out, for the first aid awareness project, i need to make
a short 1 minute video on the proposed design solution.
I've done some research on how to create a sales pitch for a product:

Taking the Dragons Den as my inspiration
I looked at some bad sales pitches:


 And some great sales pitches, with great ideas;

This idea here the i teddy, which is a genius idea and a well rehearsed enthusiastic pitch:

I absolutely love levi roots idea and his pitch, it was different, caught the audience's attention
and was rehearsed down to a T.

Brain storming

Here I have been brainstorming and sketching up numerous scenarios





Interactive Whiteboards

In order for me to get the First Aid training across for kids I feel
an interactive whiteboard will benefit this. For classroom activities this will help all kids participate and learn together. Heres a short video of how interactive whiteboards benefit Teachers and kids:


How to design for interactive whiteboards:

After extensive research on interactive white boards, I downloaded a free software called Mimio Studio notebook, this is one of the software's you can use to create an interactive whiteboard activity, I wanted to see how it works, which was very interesting. heres the link:
 http://www.mimio.com/en-EM/Support/Downloads/SoftwareDownload.aspx?SW=9.12&OS=Windows&dlLang=English



Although I don't have any of the MimioStudio products to use it, I  was still able to get the jist of how it works, which is pretty simple enough. For the end result I will want my idea been used through this software. For now I'm going to design mine on Indesign so I can show how the interactive parts work, and how you can move around and arrange objects. This idea for first aid and using the interactive whiteboard will help in engage all the kids in this learning process.
