Shenergy - the Future of a Sustainable Shared Economy (Week 48)

What we have done

This week we have worked hard with our presentation and started to film the movie scenes. Before we started filming we had to further develop our storyboard and visualize the scenes in the movie. This helped us to assure that we got all the shots needed when filming. Also, it helped us to get a clear picture of the final result, and to understand our limitations when it comes to film effects etc. Parallel to the filming, we wrote on the script for the voiceover in the movie. Further, we designed the prototype of the Shenergy application that will be shown in the movie in form of a holographic screen. We have started to work with most of the animations that will be used in the movie.

Regarding the report we have transformed our ideas and the framework on what to write under each subtitle into a coherent text. We have created a first draft with an introduction to the energy system in Sweden, our future scenario and our solution “Shenergy”.

We have also figured out some trends that we think will happen to support our solution:

• Increase of energy micro producers - Less expensive energy production technology and changed legislation to micro producer´s favor.
• More awareness about energy consumption - Sustainability is constantly being integrated in our lives as people become aware of the issues. New areas arise where the environment and energy usage is in focus, for example Norra Djurgårdsstaden, and people are becoming more and more aware of their energy consumption.
• Utilize unused resources -
• Some sort of collapse or catastrophe that will change the way will live today

What we will do

Next step for the presentation group is to start editing the movie. When editing the movie we will use the Adobe programs Premiere Pro CC and After Effects. Since none of us has worked with these programs before, we believe this to be quite challenging. However, we have looked up several tutorials online that probably will help us to fulfill our goals and wishes for the movie.

Challenges encountered

One challenge we dealt with this week was the Swedish climate during this time of year, the conditions when we filmed were not optimal. The fog and darkness made it difficult to shoot the outside scenes we had planned, especially since it gets dark so quickly.

Changes in the project

We have not made any major change in the project since last week.
