My Idea about Ebay was the one chosen in the end, as it had the biggest market audience, pretty much anyone with an Ebay account. the main thing for it was to make the advertising of it much more interactive. if you have a blog for example you could add short videos on it, or upload them to youtube or other video sharing sites.

It would save a lot of time in searches and It might make the objects more appealing.
Once we had the video the plan was to upload it and add the buttons, but due to technical problems I didnt get the video until the day before the presentation....so it was rather bad, which was a shame because our Ebay idea wasn't used by anyone else and it didn't come across quite well.

Another problem we had was that the actual presentation didn't go too well, no one in our group wanted to be the speaker, so I was forced to do it (and I hate speaking in public), if we could of chosen our teams we could of chosen someone purely for they presentation skills.
For my E&E project I assumed the role of team leader, I made the facebook group and contacted the group members.

We had a bit of trouble getting together at first as we had a few issues outside of uni. but in the end we met up and came up with some ideas for our film. 

Saving private Harri.
I came up with an idea to make a film of us wearing WWII gear (obviously cardboard made and stuff) and having links take you to games set in WWII, or films, also to re enactments sites and military shops.

The high street.
Harry had the idea to film us as we walked down the a high street we would have links to shops like boots or WH smiths. (might require permission if we filmed near o2).

Chums.
Then i thought of a rip off of friends where we would advertise the clothes worn by the actors and the furniture. we where going to do this one, but all our group was a bit shy and also there was nowhere with furniture in ravensbourne.

The room.
My last idea was of a way to promote things you are selling on Ebay. Simply have a video from one side of your room to the other, and whatever objects you want to sell you can add the link straight to your Ebay account. In the end we went for this one but decided not to film our rooms but the prototyping room in the 9th floor.
