Call Me App - Postcard From Beginning

Below you will find a postcard of my App from the beginning! 

This picture shows the App on its own on an iPhone, this shows what the App really looks like. I then decided to make the App small and added it to an iPhone. When the App it will take you into a screen that enables you to set an alarm for the specific event and you then click save which will enable you to program the App to your needs such as for the alert message you would write "Phone Mike" this would be your reminder. once you click OK you are asked to pick what type of reminder it is such as a Phone Call, Text, Meeting etc. 

Below is a picture of my App that I  included on an iPhone.

Call Me Brief - App Picture

In order to make an App that looks professional I decided that I would use Photoshop to enhance the appearance of the App logo. 

I personally think that my App Logo is effective and I think it was well designed. I think I used an effective colour scheme for my App.

Call Me Brief - How App Video Was Made

In order to make this Video, I had to decide whether I was going to use my iPhone 4 or use my Camcorder. I weighed up the pros and cons of both and i decided that it was a better choice to use my iPhone 4 as the quality of the video would be better.

Before starting to make the Video I had to sit down and plan what I wanted to be included in the Video and where the scenes would be shot. Once I had decided on what I wanted to be included in the video and where I wanted it to be shot I then went on to start recording the scenes. I decided that it would be better to take a number of shots from different angles so that I could decided on which I liked the best. After 2hours of recording I was finally finished and was able to take the recordings into editing software to edit my Video.

Before I started to edit the recordings I had to pick out which were the best and what angles I liked the best, I also had to take the recordings from my iPhone 4 and take them into windows live movie maker and save them out as .AVI files so that they were able to be edited. Once the recordings were saved out as .AVI files I was then able to import them into Final Cut Pro and begin editing the Video.  

Once the recordings were joined together I then started editing it and adding effects and transitions that I thought would only enhance the appearance.

Call Me Brief - Planning Process

in order for me to begin this app, i firstly had to plan what i wanted it to look like, what the purpose of the app was and what  I wanted it to do.

So I started the planning process by doing spider diagrams.

Call Me Brief - App Situation Description

You have just met someone and arranged to call/meet/facebook them. So this app will enable you to program your life so that on a specific hour/day when you have something important to do your phone will be your personal planner.

Firstly it will alert you that you had arranged to call/text/meet/facebook the person that you met recently, so when you are close to the time in which you told that certain someone that you would contact them then your phone will vibrate every two minutes so that you do not miss anything important that you had planned to do. A pop up message will appear to alert you to who you have to contact and what it is regarding. This is a simple way of reminding you of important things that you do not what to miss. Another features that this app will incorporate is the alarm feature, this is a major feature in this app and will alert the user every 20 minutes that they must not forget to complete the task that they agreed to do such as an important phone call etc. if you fail to complete the agreed task your alarm will continue to alert you every 20minutes until the task has been completed. The alarm feature has been timed so that 4hours after the time the task was meant to take place the alarm will stop and the app will take it upon itself to contact the party concerned and will send them a text message to alert them that you are busy and that you will contact them soon. Another feature that the app will have is a Bluetooth feature that will enable the phone to contact the party concerned without you having to dial the number or to even pick you the phone, the phone will bleep to alert you that the phone call has started.

If this matter has not been dealt with by the next morning the app will then contact the party concerned via facebook and phone call to alert that you have forgotten to call then and that you are deeply apologetic and that they should contact you.
