Video Notes

Subject 1: Joe


Joe picked up the non-paper-engineered piece first, but only held it for 3 seconds.

He picked up the puppet second, and smiled, saying "That's cool, I like that." He played with the puppet for 24 seconds.

3rd, he picked up the changing illustration. He held it for 22 seconds before talking about it, still in his hands, for an additional 10 seconds.

Next he picked up the acetate layers, at which point my camera glitches out (I was having various problems with it, hence the three videos for Joe and only 1 for everyone else. Had to run to a shop afterwards and buy new batteries). He puts it back after going through the pages without saying anything.

Next was the layered illustration with the sticky pads. He says it could have been better if it were on tracing paper. He held it for 5 seconds before beginning to talk about it.

He looked at the "magic" book for 1 minute and 7 seconds. He smiled immediately, and said "I really like this, I think the more interactive they are, sort of, the more you can fiddle about with it and go *gasp* oooh! Wow! I think it really does show the effort you put into it... you spend so much time on the illustration itself, you want the person to take the time to appreaciate it."

Next was the scratch-off stuff. (And a camera glitch)

Last was the paper toy. He smiled as he opened its mouth, and made a silly noise as he opened the seconds mouth, then laughed. "It's more playful than any of the others." He then played with them for a while. He held it for 55 seconds.

His favourite was the paper toy.
When asked about his least favourite, he picked up the 2D image and said "Well, that's boring because it's just the image itself..." Out of the paper engineered pieces his least favourite was the puppet.

Subject 2: Kacie

 Kacie immediately started playing with the puppet. She gasped, and asked how it was made. "Amazing, I love this." She played with the puppet for 28 seconds.

Next was the paper toy. She laughed and said "Oh no!" as she opened the wolf's mouth to reveal Little Red Riding Hood. She played with it for 15 seconds.

Next was the scratch off cards. After getting Joe to help her scratch it she put it down pretty quickly.

She looked at the changing illustration for about 17 seconds after figuring out how it worked. "Amazing."

She looked at the layered illustration for about 5 seconds.

When she picked up the magic book she made a gasp-like noise. "*gasp* there's so much to do!" She made nosies of excitement, and smiled a lot. She was playing with it for 42 seconds.

Next was the acetate layers. "It's great 'cause you've got the one image, three layer sof one image, then you just went to town!" She was looking at them for 20 seconds.

"I like the box, because... I like hands-on things" She played with the paper toy for an extra 30 seconds.
Her favourite was the puppet, which she played with for an extra 2 minutes.
Her least favourite was the 2D non-engineered piece.

Subject 3: Mel
 (at this point, Joe, Kacie, Mel and I had all done the temporary tattoo finger puppets)


She smiled as soon as she saw the pieces, and went for the acetate layers first.  She laughed as she reached the last image. She looked at it for 20 seconds.

Next she looked at the changing illustration for 30 seconds.

3rd came the "magic" book. When I showed her the hidden spread she gasped and said "oh, hey, that's cool!" She looked at the book for 52 seconds.

She looked at the layered illustration for about 5 seconds.

She picked up the 2D piece, had a look and put it straight back down again.

She laughed at the paper toy, and played with the opening. She looked at it for 14 seconds.

She laughed again as she scratched away the scratch-off card. She said "oh that is fun!"

She smiled and played with the puppet for 35 seconds.

Her favourite was the finger puppets. If she were to choose something to put on her wall, she would pick the layered illustration.
Then my tutor starts shouting.
You can vaguely hear Mel say something about how she likes that the puppet can move around.

Subject 4: Emma

 Emma looked at the layered illustration first, for 14 seconds.

Second, she looked at the changing illustration next and said it was clever.

Third she looked at the "magic" book for 35 seconds.

She looked at the acetate layers for about 22 seconds.

Next was the puppet. She laughed as soon as she started playing with it, and kept laughing throughout. She played with it for 57 seconds.

She looked at the 2D piece for about 3 seconds.

She laughed at the paper toy and held it for 30 seconds.

She smiled at the scratch-off card.

She said she liked the "magic" book, as it was clever and fun, and she liked the puppet as it was fun too.
Her least favourite is the acetate layers.

Subject 5: Cheryl

 Cheryl looked at the acetate layered piece first, for 19 seconds.

Second, she looked at the "magic" book. When shown the secret spread she gasped. "wow" She was playing with it for about 51 seconds.

Next she looked at the changing illustration for 17 seconds.

She looked at the layered illustration next, for roughly 12 seconds.

She started smiling, laughing and playing with the puppet while making music for him to dance to. She played with it for 1 minute 5 seconds.

When she picked up the 2D piece she said "That's boring!" and put it down.

Next was the paper toy. She started playing with it and laughing for 13 seconds.

Finally she looked at the scratch-off cards for a minute and a half.

Her favourite is the puppet, which she played with for an extra 4 minutes.
