Before I could really move forward with the design I had to figure how my user would interact with the product. How could they feel part of the experience? How could I physically and emotionally connect people to the footage? And how could I transfer my message to them by the use of my product?
I had to consider the metaphor of my project as I didn't want my physical product to become the main focus but simply a vessel through which I could allow people to see rail travel in a new way. My thoughts on such a metaphor were . . .
A window to the outside. . .transporting you to another place
Looking down into a pensieve (like in Harry Potter). . .falling into a meditative state of mind
I decided the second was the best suited to what I'm trying to achieve through this project. I didn't just want to take an existing experience and place it in a new environment, instead I wanted to show people find a new understanding, and a new opinion on the experience.
