Social Actability

This concept was made in order to generate collaborative story telling for hip hop music. By being part of a story, participants can improve their skills and inspire others for future collaboration. To visualize the idea, a Flash mockup interface was created.

Storyboard

Random sketches

Sketch for uploading and playing beats.

Sketch showing how stories connect and how they can be played.

Red squares are were the story is being plotted, green squares are were the descriptive part takes place and finally the blue squares are were the story is being ended. In order to add to a story or start a new, the user clicks the white squares containing a microphone. In this figure a love beat have been chosen (beat 4) and six stories have been started. Three descriptive parts have been recorded and also three endings.

The user has chosen to record the second part of the story/song. Through a connected microphone the user records his/her part and when satisfaction is reached the user upload the material.

Later on when the story is completed an indication shows that it have been completed. The user can now listen to the complete story and give feedback.
