Today we began looking at the notion of QR Codes and how they can be used to tell a narrative. After being shown a few examples of how QR Codes can be really effective in storytelling, we were set a brief which asked us to 'concieve plan and build a narrative using a minimum of five QR Codes that can be placed in location and may link to either a Website URL, YouTube, Google Maps location, Twitter, Facebook etc...'. Me and my partner decided to go with the concept of a desktop narrative to tell the story of a young woman being attacked on her way home from a night out. We chose the concept of desktop narrative simply because going into town would have been very time consuming and using a desktop narrative would have saved a lot more time and given us more opportunity to work on preparing for our presentation.
Unfortunately Google maps wasn't allowing us to show a preview of the images we had found on the internet, which forced us to make a Prezi showing a map of where the attack on the woman happened. Each QR Code pointed to a different part of the map to indicate what happened at which area of Liverpool. The individual QR Codes were linked to my partner's FlickR account which was set up for the purpose of this task and showed the images in chronological order to tell a story.
Here is a link to the Prezi we created...
