Introduction:
The term interactive video is usually refers to a technique used to blend interaction and linear film or video.
Here are the different kinds of technology where interactive video, where you can fast forward, rewind, play, pause or stop. :
IPhone= which allows you to listen to music, play videos, and play video games.
DVD Players= is a kind of interactive video which can select you to rewind or fast forward the movie that you want to watch.
PSP (Playstation Portable) = allows you to play games, watch a video by buying a video on a UMD (Universal Media Disc) format, it also allows you to listen to music.
Here are the lists of the games that I have on PSP: Dynasty Warriors, Tekken Dark Resurrection, and Smackdown vs Raw 2006.
The purpose of information is to allow you to inform the people about what is happening in the news e.g. BBC News, ITV News, SKY News etc. The main purpose of an Advertisement is to attract new people by buying their very own product. An example of an advertisement is Mr. Muscle, this advert shows the viewers how easy it is to unblock the drain holes from your kitchen sink. The purpose of entertainment is to entertain people in a different way like movies, music and sports. An example of an interactive video, which can entertain people, is a movie e.g. Avatar Angels and Demons and Resident Evil.
The purpose of educational research is to develop the knowledge and skills for which the students are revising for their GCSEs or Alevel Courses. An example of an Educational Research is Tutorials.
In class, we have talked about what are viral marketing, user-generated content, visual tours, and a film trailer is. In each question we have picked two examples of each question, and describe happens in the video, who is the target audience, which digital platform does the video appear on, how this video enhances the user experience, what is the purpose of the video and describe the technical qualities of the video, image, sound quality and editing.
A Viral Marketing- is a purpose of application, which is shown for the viewers what kind of adverts do they watch and how do they describe that advert.
A User-Generated Content has two different kinds of ends, the low end, which means record a video on your mobile phone and uploading it on the Youtube.com website and the High End, which means, recording a video, which is use by a digital camera. An example of a High End is Pool Tricks, where one person is showing his pool tricks to the viewers on YouTube while he is recording himself on camera. A Visual Tours- means showing different kinds of landmarks and about the does the people think about the landmark itself.
A Film Trailers- means showing the target audience the different kinds of films on what do they want to watch.
Here are the 2 videos that I will be introducing for the different purposes of application.

In the video, a young lady is trying to reach the chocolate biscuit from the top shelf but she won't be able to reach it. To make it more easier for her, she decided to go on top of the xerox machine and reach it and accidentically press the Enter button while she's on top of the xerox machine. It is targeted to all gender, male and female and it is shown on the internet such as; Youtube and on tv. The purose of the video is to make people laugh throughout the whole advert. The technical qualities of the video were in Medium Quality than the quality shown on TV. The video quality was a bit low better then it is shown on TV.
The second video that I have was The T-Mobile Dance where all of the passengers were in Liverpool St. Station on the 15th of January 2009 @ 11.00am, dancing to medley of songs until everyone starts to join in to the dance, this advert is shown to all genders, and it is also a good example to the young kids.
This was shown in the internet, and on the TV, since then this advert was shown nationwide for an outstanding 22million views on Youtube. When I first watched this advert on TV, I've found this advert entertaining, because of how the way they shown it in tv. The purpose of this advert is to show the viewers how well has the passengers at Liverpool Street Station has done. The quality of the video was on high quality, same for the editing, the technical, and the sound quality.
In class, my mate and I have chosen for my User-Generated Content was Grandma Scared of the maze game and Pool Trick Shots. The first video is about an old woman playing the maze game, which goes to three rounds, after she had completed all three rounds. This video can be viewed for all gender and it can make people laugh. The quality of the video was recorded by using a mobile phone and uploaded it on YouTube.
The second video that I have chosen for my User-Generated Content was a man showing his skills by doing some tricks shots. It is shown to all genders and in all different ages. This video has been shown on the internet, and can be shown on TV.
When I first saw the video, I was really depressed on how the way he showed his pool tricks to his viewers and to make the people impressed.
The quality of the video was in high quality as well as the sound and the image. They’ve edited the video by adding the name of the person to let the viewers know who’s showing his trick shots.
For the qualities of the advert was in a High-End because it was recorded using a professional video camera.
The two virtual tours that I have chosen for my assessment was a view of Paris from The Eiffel Tower and the view of the city of New York from the Queen Mary’s 2. The first virtual tour I have chosen was the view of Paris from the Eiffel Tower, this can be seen on the internet by logging on to this website >> http://www.panoramas.dk/fullscreen/fullscreen32.html. It is shown the whole view of Paris by spinning the camera around to different directions. It is targeted to the audience who wants to go on holiday for a week or two to see the interesting landmarks of Paris. The digital platform this website appears is on the internet. I’ve found this interesting and make the people wants to go to Paris to see the whole landmark itself and what they think about it. The quality of the video was in High Quality also as the image of the site itself.
What i didn't like about this work is how we didn't manage to finish all of our recording our parts from place to place, this is cause by helping our group members to decide on where are we going to film their part for their video profile.
The second virtual tour I have chosen was a virtual tour of the view of City of New York from Queen Mary 2. This video is showing the whole city of New Year by using a Camera from the Ship itself. This can be seen in the same website as the first one I have chosen but this time the website is >>> http://www.panoramas.dk/US/new-york-waterfront.html. The target audience of the virtual tour of the City of New York are the tourists, whom would like to travel to the states or any other part of the globe to see how does it feel like to live in that country. The purpose of the video is to show the tourists how the City of New York looks like in from inside and out.

The image quality of this video was clear and able for the tourists to see the view; until the view gets blocky and unable to see the view.
The two film trailers that I have chosen for my purpose of application were Salt and Resident Evil. The first film trailer that I have chosen was an action thriller called Salt starring: Angelina Jolie. The film is about a CIA officer is being accused from being a Russian spy and fighting to clear her name as a Russian spy to be known as Evelyn Salt. This film is targeted for the fans who love watching action movies. This film was viewed in the cinemas till the producers, directors, etc decided to transfer it from showing it on the cinemas to DVD/Blu-ray, on the Internet, IPhone, Sky Box and YouTube. The people who watched this film may find it entertaining, makes them wants to see this film again. The purpose of the video is to show the trailer to the target audience and let them know what they like about the movie. This film was launch on High Definition, throughout the whole scene.
The second film trailer that I have chosen was a 3D Sci-Fi Action horror film called Resident Evil: Afterlife. This is the fourth instalment of the Resident Evil series based on a capcom’s survival Horror video game called: Resident Evil. The whole story of the film is about a young girl called Alice, who tries to rescue the other remaining survivors of T-Virus Outbreak in Los Angeles. This target audience of this film can be people who love watching Resident Evil from the very first part until the latest one, people who loves watching Sci-Fi Action Horror Films can also watch it. This film is still currently showing in the cinemas nationwide, after the film was been shown in the cinemas for quite a long time. The movie itself is going to be on DVD and Blu-ray, on the Internet, Sky Box, TV, and I Phone. This shows the audience how spectacular this movie really is, and it shows a difference between the game and the film of the same title. The Qualities of this Film, is in High Definition and it was the first out of all four instalments, which was been released in 3D Films.
What we didn't like about the video and why?
What didn't we like about the video is that we were unable to finish our recording project on time, this is due to problem difficulties with our other members on where are we going to film for his part of the project.
What could be improved?
I think in my opinion, my work could be more improved by adding more details on each term and using specifc words in media term.
Conclusion: After this work, I would probably start
