Reflection:

Task 3 involved us creating a visual story using an online cartography builder called ‘Odyssey.js’. Using this tool, we would collate all of the images we took from the previous week on surveillance and data and create a story from them. The images we took were shot on iPhones with location services enabled so we could accurately pinpoint where the images were taken from.

Odyssey.js was complex at first but after understanding the basic coding it required it became easier to use. It proves to be an effective tool in presenting a work, using simple transitions and images to display the content to the audience.

 

Evaluation:

The only requirement for this task involved the completed Oydyssey.js story. The story serves its purpose as a form of open data rather well, documenting our whole journey and the locations of where the images were taken. I was also surprised by the number of features the tool had, like map movements, markers and the embedding of images, all there free to use to enhance your own narrative. In order to improve this story, perhaps a more detailed base map would be beneficial, to provide an even more in-depth view of our journey. It would also benefit from the use of more images to extend the story.
