Our next task involved using QR Codes and how they can be used to tell a story. As a group we were set a brief to 'Concieve a plan and build a narrative using a minimum of 5 QR Codes that can be placed within a location and may link to a website, youtube clip, google maps location, twitter page, Facebook page, etc.
Within our group we decided to do a tour of Rodney Street and show the ghosts and part of their stories when you scanned the codes when you got to different points in the street. We thought our tour could be used on a ghost walk, by putting the QR codes up on where the tour guides would stop and talk about the ghosts. people would scan with their smart phones to reveal images and videos. To show where our QR codes we placed them onto google maps, instead of having people running round Rodney Street scanning them, We would of also had to gain permission to place QR code stencils on buildings if it was used.
We created a voice note that told people what our QR Codes were about a selection of images of the ghost and also scary video of Rodney Street that we had sourced from Youtube to create an idea of how QR codes could be incorporated into a ghost walk.
When creating our google maps tour we came across a few problems as we found that we were struggling to attach images as google maps had updated and changed since we had last used it. to over come this we decided to place the location marks on the maps and add the QR codes we had created later on.
When presenting our map i felt pleased with it as i could actually imagine it being used in a ghost tour even though we had problems attaching images through google maps i felt the idea was there. I understood that it could be improved by adding our own filmed content and we could of created a print out book of our QR codes so everyone could scan them.
