The process takes place from researching and finding case studies. In doing so, it will be able to help me out in determining which documentaries type of path i should take upon on.

The field review helped me a lot in finding inspo. Since, I am doing UX/UI design i need to create an interactive story-telling documentaries through website.

memory experiment 1
memory experiment 2
staged interview

The brief, mentioned about doing at least 4 experiments. I did 5 experiments but only 2 out of the 5 that seems to be very effective and staying true to the goals that I am trying to achieve.

Staging Interview: by far the most outcome i’ve ever gotten, and i was glad that I able to get their consent to be put up on my portfolio and as well as on a unlisted YT video.

The memory experiment is the most fun one, as the user need to fill out the gap between each scenes to make a complete of a story.

Staging Interview turned out to be the key point that been missing which tackles about the topic of diaspora, how they view NZ (New Zealand), and where as the non-diaspora is to be interviewed about what is their perspective in living among Diaspora’s.

Why is it necessary?

Results:

It is to determine whether diaspora and non-diaspora people share common goals or perspective to how they sees the exact same scene.

Diaspora more proactive in reasoning with their beliefs for what is right, but also at the same time they willing to adapt and accustomed to how the kiwis are like. They are not afraid to make a change. Whereas the non-diaspora prone to be more calm and laidback, they don’t want to go through series of conflict between people.

The results: very fascinating. Only shown two but clearly you can see the difference to how the user wrote the sentence down reflect upon their personalities already.

~ Got backfired. ~

Due to time constraint, and full of ambitious it got backfired. As i only able to create the figma prototype version of the Diaspora website. It is truly heartbreaking, but it did not stop me in wanting to improve it in near future.

the struggle i am facing

The struggle: i encounter a lot of problem during coding, unable to provide the evidence because i was frustrated in unable to make the interactive maps working over at visual studio code.

It is not over yet. Things will change overtime..
