Examples of 360 camera videos, the Tomorrow Land video demonstrates how this concept could work brilliantly putting my application users into their own Edinburgh Festival virtual reality. 

Displayed is a mock up of the headsets that would be distributed to subscribers of BBC Edinburgh Festivals Anywhere. My design features the bright colour palette of the logo and would be made from eco friendly card.  

I designed a mock up of how my app would look. It features the splash/loading page, home page, connect page and streaming screen. Users can chat whilst watching their favourite shows and see what their friends are watching and join them. 

I thought of which new technology is beginning to establish itself in the tech marketplace, I envisioned installing 360 camera into venues across Edinburgh festival and incorporating virtual reality for into the application. Each subscriber to the app will receive a free eco friendly virtual reality headset, to watch their favourite shows with friends and experience the festival as if they were there. 

After much consideration I decided to pursue the BBC Edinburgh Festivals brief. I thought of a interesting way to bring the festivals the everyone using technology and this was my strongest concept. I researched into current applications such as the Fringe app to find out styles they are using, colours, images, graphics etc. This also allowed me to see the scale of the festival and what venues they use. 

I initially thought of an application where users can communicate with friends, plan their festivals virtually on the app, discover and stream the live performances with friends or catch up on the ones they've missed. 

A mock up of how the normal MUBI users profile will look with clubs added and the small star symbol to show they are a member over 6 months and owner of a club. Users can view other peoples clubs when visiting their profile, this could be helpful if users discover people they find have similar interests regarding film. 

MUBI Brief Concept

'Help film-lovers swap endless searching for instant satisfaction with a scene-stealing idea for MUBI'

I have called my concept CLUB MUBI where I am attempting to convey cinema clubs online. The idea is to let users decide which club is perfect for them, each club has its own particular preference on films, this is based of data collected through asking short questions and social media. 

In each club there are still 30 films just like the original MUBI, but they are related to that specific clubs favourite genre, actors, music etc. Members can vote for the films they want to see most which MUBI have added to the 'feed', but members can also vote for films they and others post to a 'community feed' to make the film choice more diverse and interesting. 

To start your own club you must have been a member for at least 6 months, others can only join clubs. Users are limited to creating one club and can join up to 3. 

How is this shortening users search time to find the perfect film?

My concept is using a time where networking is prevalent to its advantage, by finding other users with similar film interests and pairing them up to assist each other in finding the ideal film. It also introduces users to new content they may have never seen before. When users sign in they can choose one of their clubs that suits their particular liking that day, instead of sifting through every film on the main page. The rating system also helps separate the good from the bad, where 'TOP PICKS' will feature in each club showing the most up-voted films for the day. The community feed brings in new content that as a club people can decide on, giving them more scope of what they want to see.
