Idea – A website where people are able to report things going on in their neighbourhood. We have all been there when, something has happened in our area and we must anxiously wait to see it come on the news. To be frank, it is kind of annoying, being so close to the accident or celebration and waiting for a confirmation by the news to accept and digest it. It is about time where we were put in charge of what happens and making sure that the information we are receiving is correct and true to the source.  Every neighbourhood will have their own code to the website to get exclusive content that is valuable to them. Hopefully the app will be able to include events that are going to be put on as well as houses up for sale. This idea came to me through the struggles of which I perceive in my neighbourhood.

Disc release for console (PlayStation or Xbox) By attending an event you will be able to move around, run, jump and skip -if needed to. However, if you were to just play online and/or using your console you would...

Media Innovation Creative Audiences Idea – An app of which the audience becomes the producers TV shows such as ‘Love Island’ and ‘I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’ already use this concept, but how do we expand and develop this into something bigger? Success has been raged from consumers being able to vote and share their opinions via an app, especially for free. It gives the consumer the feeling that they are important, that their voice is going to be heard. There is always a sense of disbelief when your favourite character from a TV show gets booted off, but what if there was a way to place power in your own hands and manipulate your favourite show, would you do it? This idea came upon me while having successful encounter with the ‘Love Island’ app. It was fun to engage with the show and feel the ‘new power’ that was almost ‘gifted’ to me. It gave me the ability to change and alter people’s lives all by tapping away and the best thing was that, I didn’t have to move from my couch....
