Our idea-well one of them

After our practical yesterday, me and Hayley managed to come up with an idea that has some substance. We are going to look at the doors leading into Drake Circus. What interested us was what doors are most commonly used at what times of the day and night. Here are some of the aspects that we might continue to study:


  • What people use which doors, such as families might only use the two central doors while lone shoppers go to the ones on the far sides.
  • What are the most popular doors at different times of the day?
  • If a block was put in front of one of the door, how would that affect the space?
  • How many pass through the doors in the space of an hour?

After checking the idea with Mike, we decided to next thinking of how to display such info in a mapping way. These are the options we thought of blending together:


  • Videoing the doors and speeding up the image so it doesnt look like people but instead a flow.
  • Slowing down the image and then drawing a still of the shot.
  • Highlighting the doors opening and closing, by removing the people.
  • Displaying the statistics on screen in a clear way

Next is to now go to Drake Circus and take some photos for some research. Later.
