Indepth AMV Review Program - planning
Client-side Description:
-A program that takes user input as he/she is viewing an AMV. This will help an editor identify the strong points and weak points in his/her AMV.
Data:
-The user will presses the UP or DOWN arrow depending on how much they are liking the current.
-Each key press will either like++ or like--.
-Each key will be stored in an array with a time and like value pair.
-Range of values may be: 0-10, 0 worst, 10 best
or
-whatever range
-each key will add a new point to a line graph (on display) with timeline
Tasks:
-when does playtime start?
-when does playtime stop?
-key logging
-drawing the line graph
Org-side Description:
-The user will submit a form with the name of the amv and the editor.
-The form will contain the array.
-This array will be tied to the user's review of the AMV.
-The server will use the data in combination with other submitted arrays and create a single average.
-This average is displayed as part of the AMV's information in a time-line graph.
Tasks:
-Data validation
-Data parsing
-Array storage
-Average array scores
-Producing the line graph
Other Comments:
-version 2.0 may have point-based comments
-example: time=00:00:30, score=2, comment="bad intro, sync"
Thoughts, interests, whatever.

-ignore holding(?)
-capture single key
reaction - hard route
-perform reaction time testing option(?)
-perform screen flash, capture key time
-average reaction time
-save reaction time, adjust final array times by reaction time
reaction - easy
-notify editor that reactions on time line is delayed

you planning on coding this lyrs?
it'd be great for art theory/psychology studies. it's been done in some music studies. listeners used a slider to rate their emotional responses. a mouse-dragged slider, or point and click on this line between 0 and 10, might work better than key presses.

So, this will kind of end up being like that CNN reaction meter thing they were doing for the debates between the various party candidates? I have to admit I found that thing rather odd and useless...
Something I wouldn't mind having would be some sort of tool that lets me press a button and creates a reference mark that I could go back to while watching a video. This wouldn't be useful just for AMV reviewing, but for AMV making as well.

i don't know. even if i don't, having a detailed plan will allow someone else to.downwithpants wrote:you planning on coding this lyrs?
the control will have to be something that's not too distracting or require unnecessary eye movement. since very few ppl have a biometric/pulse scan on their body, it's easier to just implement keystrokes.it'd be great for art theory/psychology studies. it's been done in some music studies. listeners used a slider to rate their emotional responses. a mouse-dragged slider, or point and click on this line between 0 and 10, might work better than key presses.
that said, other options may be better.

indeed, by logging an additional key, spacebar perhaps, additional data can be collectedSomething I wouldn't mind having would be some sort of tool that lets me press a button and creates a reference mark that I could go back to while watching a video.

In all honesty: I don´t think that I want something like this or that a lot of people need it.
Why don´t you present your idea on the tube? They have money, they might want to experiment, the videos play in a flash player so your idea isn´t that hard to implement.

i can think of two very good ways to use this. one) improving your storyboard two) the information is available for as yet undetermined useBauzi wrote:In all honesty: I don´t think that I want something like this or that a lot of people need it.
it would be infinitely easier to implement using Flash ActionScipt and certainly, it may be profitable with youtube/etc. but the Org isn't a streaming site and i'm not trying to make money, let alone even start programming this.Why don´t you present your idea on the tube?

Well, I initially foresee one major problem with this. When you initially watch a video, you don't know if you like or dislike something until after you see it, obviously, so there will be some lag between when someone sees things they like/dislike, and when they actually mark it. Depending on the pace of the video, this could be insignificant, or it could be quite detrimental to the whole idea.
