Firstly we set up an InDesign document and we made sure that it was standard screen size which would mean that it would fit onto any screen, it would also mean that when placing media onto the page that we would maximise the amount of space we would have for displaying work.
We then inserted a video onto the page and set it to start playing as soon as the PDF was opened, we then changed that and added focus points which we would use later. When placing the video onto the document it looked incredibly blurry but after previewing it we found that it wasn't actually blurry.
The next thing we did was creating buttons, which would control the video. The first one we made simply played the video, which meant we had to turn off the automatic play. We then made a button which played the video from the focus point that we had previously created. And the final button was created using external images which we made on photoshop, this added an extra interaction to the button as it changed colour as the mouse hovered over it and also when it was clicked.
We then exported the document and you could use everything that we had made and it worked successfully, i enjoyed this session as it has enabled me to find out different ways to present my work.
