1. Creation Stage
Script
Actors:
Doctor/Assistant
Handicap
Person
Scene 1- Handicap, Assistant and Person
(located in the streets)
Everyone enters
Person: Excuse me sir!
(handicap and assistant don’t answer)
Person: Excuse me Sir! Sir!
(handicap and assistant don’t answer)
Assistant: I’m very sorry but this person here is affected by Locked- in syndrome, he can’t speak
Person: (looking very sad) Oh I’m so sorry, I didn’t know. What a terrible thing!
Scene 2- Doctor
(located in an hospital)
Doctor: Unfortunately, Locked-in Syndrome is a condition in which a patient is aware and awake
but cannot move or communicate verbally due to complete paralysis of nearly all voluntary muscles
in the body except for the eyes. Consequently they will live their lives on a chair, without
communicating to anyone. However, technology today, made us discover Dasher! (Sound effect).
Dasher is an input method and computer accessibility tool which enables users to write without
using a keyboard, by entering text on a screen using a pointing device such as a mouse, a touchpad,
a touch screen, a roller ball, a joystick, a Push-button, a Wii Remote, or even mice operated by the
foot or head. Such instruments could serve as prosthetic devices for disabled people who cannot use
standard keyboards, or where the use of one is impractical.In addition, the computer has also a
function that it reads the words out loud, this is used for the people who are not able to speak.

2. Scene 3-Handicap, Person
(located in the streets)
(handicap is already in the scene, Person enters)
Person: Excuse me Sir!
Handicap: (computer voice) yes
Person: Do you know where I can find the nearest library in the town?
Handicap: (computer voice) Absolutely. 600 metres from our actual position. It is calculated to be
in Via Spagnoletto 25
Person: Thanks a lot Sir!
Handicap: (computer voice) Thanks to you! It is the first time, I have a conversation with someone.
Scene 4- Doctor
(located in hospital) (happy music in background)
Doctor: Thanks to Dasher every person in the world that suffers from Locked-in Syndrome is now
free to speak and live a normal life!

3. Process Journal
This is the first layout of the iMovie page. The
next thing to do is to add the video to the main
page and edit it.
I added the video by importing it from my
camera through a USB cable. Then, I went on
my last importations and found the video. Now,
I will need to make the video.
Now, by clicking on the “T” under the video
option, I added a content, then chose “industrial”
and dragged it to the window on the top left.
Then I selected them and added two titles.
Next, I dragged the first part of the video,
containing my first scene. The audio is already
included; therefore no further audio needs to be
included.
Again, by clicking on the “T” under the video
option, I added a content, then chose “industrial”
and dragged it to the window on the top left.
Then I selected them and added two titles

4. I then dragged another scene from the bottom to
the top left window. It automatically displayed in
the chronological order.
Again, by clicking on the “T” under the video
option, I added a content, then chose “industrial”
and dragged it to the window on the top left.
Then I selected them and added two titles
After that, I chose to put the scene of the
doctor’s explanation. Again, the audio was
already included.
Again, by clicking on the “T” under the video
option, I added a content, then chose “industrial”
and dragged it to the window on the top left.
Then I selected them and added two titles
Again, I dragged the scene where the patient has
now the use of Dasher

5. This time I dragged the same scene three times
because I will need to add the audio later of a
computer audio
After I dragged the last scenes where I thank the
person.
I dragged the last scene of my video. Now I need
to put the credits and then finally add some
music to my video and it is finished
Again, by clicking on the “T” under the video
option, I added a content, then chose “industrial”
and dragged it to the window on the top left.
Then I selected them and added two titles
For the registration, I clicked on the microphone
symbol right above the bottom window. Then I
clicked on the record button that appeared and
recorded the computer speaking.

6. Then, I added music from my Mac. To do this I
clicked on the music button, just above the top
right window. Then I dragged the music I chose
under the scene I wanted.
Again, I added music from my Mac. To do this I

Again, I added music from my Mac. To do this I
clicked on the music button, just above the top
right window. Then I dragged the music I chose
under the scene I wanted.
Finally I clicked the exporting option of my movie
under “condivision”

7. Evaluation
After making questionnaires and surveys, I understood that to make a good video, firstly, is
important to test it and to hear other people’s opinions on it. At the start I thought of other ways to
make a video, however, I understood, by checking it, that my video’s ideas weren’t very important
or didn’t track attention to my audience, who wanted pictures to it. I think also it is very important
to ask an expert their opinion, especially ErmeteGrilli because he is a professional video maker and
so I need to listen on his opinions about my work. I also asked Luca Malerba, since he is an I.C.T
expert, what were the best programs to create a video. This was very important for me to know,
because I thought that the best program was Windows Movie Maker, but actually there are two very
good programs. I decided at the end to create it on iMovie because I use mainly MAC programs
because my computer is an iMac, so, I already knew the basic structure of it and I didn’t need to
spend hours on learning how to use another program. I, however, watched some videos on how to
make certain tips iMovie to become more expert on the program.
My questionnaires said that I should include pictures related to the theme. I decided not to include
pictures because I wanted to give more attention to actors and the content because I think they are
more important and effective than pictures because they give a better idea on what the theme and
the purpose of my video is. However, some could have been used as a background to some writing
in some scenes. I decided to use music in some scene as background because tit is a very important
factor. I used music because I analysed some videos and learned that the most popularones or the
ones that were more professionaldecided to include music at a certain point as background. I took
this example from smosh and other YouTube channels; I also used it because in a questionnaire I
was told to include music in my video. I think that especially the content had a good impact on
others it was serious and I think it promoted very well my chosen technology. However, next time,
it would have been a good idea to use better my actors, maybe include more other actors in my
video to make it even more realistic. I think that, however, the music didn’t have a good impact on
the audience because it didn’t attract much attention as I thought it had done, partly because it
wasn’t necessary, and partly because the content is standing in front of it. Maybe the audience gave
more importance to the actors than to the content. Next time I should give more importance to it and
make it sound louder. Another thing that had a good impact on the others was my scene where the
doctor explained the product. I thought it was a good idea to put it, and actually it had a lot of
success. This made however, the video’spurpose become less important; this didn’t have a good
impact on others.

8. Overall my video had an equal number of good and bad impacts on the environment. Some things
are ought to improve and others were just good ideas and predictions that I liked to include. I think
that our environment was generally happy and thought that my work was interesting, however they
didn’t understand some choices I included in my video. Certainly, I am proud of my creation and
had a good impact on me. However, next time I need to improve some ideas and make a better
video to advertise my chosen technology of “Dasher”.
I think I worked well throughout all of the design cycle because I feel I can be proud of my work
and aim for a very high mark. Overall, not to seem modest, I liked my assessment, however there
are some parts that can be improved, like at any work. In the investigation part I liked my research
because I learnt many things, such as the Locked-in Syndrome, and some tips to make a good
video. I also liked my design brief. Next time I need to improve my design specification, maybe by
adding some more things that are more important than the ones I wrote. Also my test plan table can
be improved. I believe that the design part wasn’t really sophisticated because I don’t have much
imagination so my video is a bit banal. However, the analysis of it and the interpretation of each
one I made make me proud of my work but next time I will improve my video’s style. Like the
design stage, my plan part was very good in the analysis, but mediocre in the Gantt chart. I believe
it is good, but it misses something that I don’t know, it seems incomplete. Also my other plan it is
very detailed, but I believe I should have written more inside the table. The create bit I liked my
process journal, the content of it and all the information I gave. Again my video isn’t one of the
best, but at least I justified my actions. I also justified my changes in the creation phase. I believe
that my evaluation part, not only this one, but also the evaluation of designs, sources, plans,
information are very detailed and tell everything I made and that I can improve.
