Creating the dyson video

Since my last blog update I have been working on an additional section of the site – a video. This included a screen shot of what the video would look like mid-playing.

I then created a story board for the narrative sequence of this – this took 12 hours, hence the last of blog update yesterday!

The story basically told that the dysonator was having trouble with old vacuum cleaners, battling with leads and wands, so he binned these.

He then went in search of an alternative vacuum cleaner – aptly visiting the dyson store. Once at the dyson store he buys a dyson Telescope dc11.

This is then used at the dysonators home to eradicate all dust from the kitchen, using the correct brush tool.

Once dysonator has finished he compacts this away, storing it in the kitchen cupboard with ease. He then sits down and watches some ‘compelling commercials’ i.e. the dyson ad.

This is intertexual promotion!

I then thought back to the second banner ad that I must create – I thought I could use some of the story board as a comic type strip, to entice the person to click and visit, for example: to find out what happens to dysonator click here. Except this would not even have to be written but would simply be an enigma.

I consider the different types of banners I could create, already having the vertical dyson banner, I consider the horizontal banner and button ads.

What next?
I am having concerns over whether the game is really in keeping with the dyson style, therefore this may need re-jigging, making it more dyson-esque in appearance.
