Description:  A visual story on the process of making mead.

Goals:

• To learn how to tell a story in this way. I’m very interested in pursuing other visually stimulating story topics that can be told in this manner.
• Explain how mead is made in the most aesthetically pleasing manner possible
• Easy to use and understand

Audience: People who are curious, foodies, anyone who enjoys aesthetically pleasing things

Process:

• Make and edit still photos and “Cinemagraphs”
• Research and write story
• Create “slideshow” using jQuery– a prettier one than the test project. I realize the issues will be creating a slideshow of automatically playing mp4 files. I’ve found ways to do this via jQuery plugins.
• Use CSS and HTML to upload and style the text overlaying the slideshow

Functions:

• The slideshow–I’m hoping for a vertical slideshow, but we’ll see what I can finagle
• Start and stop video motion. (Although hopefully it’ll run on a loop and you can’t tell when it begins and ends. Again, this may be a high hope.)
• Fade in of text
• Possible sound behind the still pictures (but, I’m going to film all this later this week and it depends if I found cool clean sounds.)
• Also hoping to implement some responsive design elements–again it will depend on the video situation

Theme:

• I will probably end up using the WordPress Twentyseventeen theme, because it’s the most simple.
• I won’t have the infinite scroll
• Most likely, I will be dismantling many of the aspects and just keeping it like a simple webpage–a file under my main website that can be visited and cross-posted onto social media, etc.
