Let's share
A) Purpose:
The main purpose of my app idea is to allow people watch videos on any platform at the same time. While they are watching the videos they would also be video calling each other. There will be a total of three pages on the app and to navigate to each of the pages you swipe left or right depending on what page you are currently on. The first page will be the homepage and that page will have a column of all the videos that you have watched along with anything that you have not finished watching. Swiping left from this page takes you to your friends list page, this is where you can view all of the people that you have added, it will also suggest people to add based on the your friends list and what you have in common with other people based on what you have watched. The final page have a film boarder taking up the page and this is where you share your screen with the other person. The main purpose of this is allow people to stay connected with each other through films. On social media sites like Facebook if you want one of your friends to watch a video that you have seen you would have to share it and wait for them to see it. However with this you could both see it and enjoy the moment together.
B) Format/Style:
This idea will be available as both a website and an app, this is because the majority of people now watch videos online whether that is through a smartphone, tablet or on the computer. There are two ways in which you can stream your screen to other people, the first way is screen sharing where the receiver can see what ever is on the screen of the person who is board casting it. And the other way is through video files. The user can decide to use a number of files that is supported by the app, this includes:
- .mp4
- .wmv
- Flash Video (.flv)
When it comes to the design of my app I don't plan on having any pictures on the app because a lot of the content in my app are videos, so the pictures that you would see on the app would be to thumbnail of the videos on the app. I want the design for my app idea to represent the films that were around before the 1970's where most of the films where black and white.
This is the type of boarder that I am looking to have on all of the pages on my app. 
I want this to be part of my logo for the app, this would also act as the button to take the user back to the home page.
I would also like to have a font that is similar to the font that you would see at the front of the cinema back in the 1970's
C)
To give an accurate evaluation of the target audience for my app I have looked at companies like netflix as they have a theme that us similar to mine. The target audience for this app would be people between the age of 16-24 with about 60% of them being female and the other 40% being male. The audience would want to use this product because it allows people to watch things together without the having to be in the same place, this would allow other people to connect like this who could be miles apart from each other.
There will be two versions of this app, one which is free and one which you have to pay for. The one which us free allows you share any video that is online to a person of your choice and it will also have the the instant messaging section with it for times when you don't want to video chat. The version that you have to pay for has more features on it, on this one you can stream your screen to the other person so anything that you can see the receiver can see it too. This also allows you to share something that stored on your phone and not online. This version will also allow you to store any of your videos to the online storage.
D)
Pocket Vlog
A)
The main purpose for this app idea is to allow people to make vlogs and upload them to the internet through there phone. There will be three main parts to the app, the first part is the homepage. This where the user records their video and the video can only be a maximum of 10 minutes long. The user can also upload a video from their own phone storage. Once this is done they are taken to the next page, this page allows them to edit the video in any way they like and they will also render the video on this page. After this the user can select from a range of social media sites to upload there vlog to. When uploading the vlog the user can the let the app run in the background so they wont have to stay on the app at all times.
B) Format/Style:
This idea will only be available as an app and this is because I want to make it easier for people to vlog, this will allow them to do everything from there phone so they won't need a carry around a laptop to edit and upload their vlogs. When it come to the design of the app each of the pages will have a different design.
1.
I want the first page to have this look, since this is where the user records their vlog.
2.
I want the second page to have three main parts to it where the user can edit the sound and pictures on different sections. I want it to be similar to some of the adobe software as there are easier to use than some of the other editing software.
3.
This is what I want the editing of the video timeline to look like, where one half will be where to can cut bits of the video and add transitions and the other half will show you what the video looks like now.
4.
C) Target suer/membership:
The target audience for my app would be 60% males and 40% female and this is because the majority of the vloggers are male, they would also be in the age range of 18 - 24. The audience would want to use this app because it makes it easier for people to record and edit their vlogs on the go. Normally it would take the whole day for someone record edit and upload the video to Youtube however, this app would make it possible to do it in under an hour. This would be especially useful for people who travel a lot.
This app would be free to anyone who wants to use it and it would only require you to sign up once. There are two ways in which the user can sign up to this app, the first method would require the user to provide their email and create a password. And they would also need to have an account on at least one of the video sharing websites e.g. YouTube. Or the user can login with their Google account as you link all or your social media through Google plus.
