[Script 5: Layout and Design] Not sure about café scene

[iadawn]

Reveal that the whole scene has been in a café where there are plenty of people on computers, tablets and phones – one is clearly perplexed by the website they’re on

I am not sure how the café scene helps to convey the message. Or the following sequence where it is panning to an angry, older user. It seems there is a lot of time invested in this scenario in this video and little showing the benefit to people with disabilities.

+1 I think the context change is a bit too much. First it’s a kitchen, then a different kitchen, then a café. Just have the older person enter the kitchen and sit on the table, I think that would be sufficient. (Also, I’m concerned of the complexity to produce the whole scene.)

I believe the reason the production company suggested this panning idea was to continue to pull the viewer into the video. Unfolding the presentation a bit at a time. Hoping to keep their interest and show the translation of a real world layout of a room to that of a poorly designed web page. Then a larger area like a shop as compared to an entire web site.

I am interested to see what the production manager thinks about these comments however.

It is the same kitchen, not two. As Brent says, the unfolding aspect should be visually appealing. It is quite difficult to glean this from the script only, I guess.

clarity from Claudia during teleconf was that the first scene is in a kitchen (poor arrangement then good arrangement), then the screen is in a cafe - transition via zoom into tablet and out again the current script doesn't do the transition idea justice at this stage - some sketches might help?

Thanks for the clarification.

[nitedog]

A full-blown storyboard would be difficult at this stage but wording improvements will be made to clarify the transition from the kitchen to the cafe.

Provided further clarification in the script, to reflect this common understanding.
