:01:02. > :01:07.other than your good bod erk. Is this talent for the tiny, or can
:01:08. > :01:12.the mobile movie make it big? We take a look at Paris's Mobile Film
:01:12. > :01:22.Festival. We have an app that will not leave
:01:22. > :01:26.you in the dark in Web Scape. Welcome to Click. I'm Spencer Kelly.
:01:26. > :01:33.You can play video games on anything these days, on home
:01:33. > :01:39.consoles, PCs and out and about on portable devises. Mobile phones and
:01:39. > :01:43.tab lets have started to muscle in on this part of the industry,
:01:43. > :01:51.leaving some to suggest that the smartphone has done for the
:01:51. > :01:55.portable games console. Mark Cieslak tore himself away from
:01:55. > :02:04.playing games at home to play some games on the move.
:02:04. > :02:09.The launch of any new games devise is cause for much hoo-ha and
:02:09. > :02:13.hullabaloo. Each new devise claims to be the most powerful. -- -
:02:14. > :02:18.device claims to be the most powerful. The goal is to create so
:02:18. > :02:22.much buzz that the gamers can not feel they can live without the
:02:23. > :02:32.latest console. Things change when it hits the shops. The marketing
:02:33. > :02:33.
:02:33. > :02:39.onslaught does not always work. Last year Nintendo launched the 3DS.
:02:39. > :02:45.I cannot wait for you to try this. The 3DS is a handheld with cameras
:02:45. > :02:51.front and rear. The screen allows the player to see the action in 3D,
:02:51. > :02:55.without the need for 3D glasses. Initially it sold well, shifting
:02:55. > :03:03.374,000 units in the first week of sale. Those sales soon started to
:03:03. > :03:09.plummet. The 3DS launch portfolio was not
:03:09. > :03:17.that great. There was pent-up demand from consumers that
:03:17. > :03:25.tkwipbldled away relatively quickly. -- dwindled away relatively quickly.
:03:25. > :03:29.Nintendo slashed the price and launched a host of crowd pleasing
:03:29. > :03:35.games, such as Super Mario Land 3D and Mario Kart 7. It reversed the
:03:35. > :03:43.fortunes of the new device. In December last year, Sony unleashed
:03:43. > :03:49.its latest handheld, the PlayStation Vita. It has been
:03:49. > :03:57.described by some as a harcore machine. Front and rear touch
:03:57. > :04:00.screens and front and rear cameras. It has a pin-sharp OLED screen and
:04:00. > :04:07.powerful for a handheld quad-core ARM processor running the show.
:04:07. > :04:13.Like the 3DS, initially the Vita, in Japan, sold well. Second and
:04:13. > :04:17.third week sales, well they were nothing to write home about.
:04:17. > :04:23.announced sales of 500,000 units in Japan after what is really a short
:04:23. > :04:28.period of time. That's figure we're comfortable with. We measured the
:04:29. > :04:36.life of our platforms in units of years. Typically we looked to
:04:36. > :04:42.thrive and prosper over a ten-year cycle. Nintendo was forced to slash
:04:42. > :04:49.the price of the 3DS handheld not long after the launch. Will Sony
:04:49. > :04:54.consider that with the Vita. It is not on our -- in our minds at the
:04:54. > :04:58.moment. We are in the middle of a vibrant order campaign. The demand
:04:58. > :05:02.is strong. A price-cut, to be honest, is the last thing on our
:05:02. > :05:10.minds right now. Now the Vita is preparing to launch in the rest of
:05:10. > :05:15.the world. It's a really solid package. Its five-inch display
:05:15. > :05:20.delivered bright visuals. While it cannot match the home consoles, it
:05:20. > :05:25.does have a quad-core ARM processor, which means it is capable of
:05:25. > :05:33.producing visuals which are unmatched by any other handheld
:05:33. > :05:38.device. The analogue sticks ensure precise control. It feels familiar
:05:39. > :05:42.to hardened gamers. It is not that far off playing on a home son sole.
:05:42. > :05:48.The big selling point is the touch screens, one at the front and one
:05:48. > :05:51.at the back. The back touch screen is a good idea. It ensures the
:05:51. > :05:56.player's fingers do not obscure the action when the screen itself is
:05:56. > :06:02.being used. There's a strong line-up of launch
:06:02. > :06:06.titles including Wipeouts 2048 and third-person adventure, Uncharted:
:06:06. > :06:10.The Golden Abyss, a game which goes to great lengths to show off the
:06:10. > :06:15.different ways the player can interact with it. It makes use of
:06:15. > :06:19.both the touch screens. At some point the player has to physically
:06:19. > :06:23.move the device. Sure, all these different methods of controlling
:06:23. > :06:29.games are interesting. They have the potential to be used in some
:06:29. > :06:35.really fun ways. At the moment they are more of a curiousty rather than
:06:35. > :06:42.a must-have. Sony has done away with spinning drives and the Vita
:06:42. > :06:45.can download games from the store or use visible, bespoke memory
:06:45. > :06:50.cards, which are plugged into the top of the device. It can play
:06:50. > :06:55.music and video. There is a web browser. All nice features, but
:06:55. > :07:02.things which you can presently do on a device you might already own,
:07:02. > :07:09.namely one of these or one of these. Smartphones and tablets are
:07:09. > :07:15.becoming more popular as games devices, with app stores chobg ka
:07:15. > :07:21.block with new titles. Many of these titles appeal to
:07:21. > :07:27.casual or main-stream consumers. Is the Vita a handheld with a limited
:07:27. > :07:31.market? Will it only appeal to harcore gamers? That demographic is
:07:31. > :07:40.in the millions across Europe. We know how to go after that
:07:40. > :07:45.demographic. We know how to appeal to them. We will, quite subtlety,
:07:45. > :07:49.but steadily broaden the demographic, bring in the more
:07:49. > :07:53.casual consumer, hopefully the female consumer and grow that
:07:53. > :07:58.potential target available to us. It a east not necessarily a huge
:07:58. > :08:04.audience, but it is a -- it's not necessarily a huge audience, but it
:08:04. > :08:09.is an audience which spends a lot of money. It is a little unfair to
:08:09. > :08:16.conpair it to smartphones, what this was designed fosh, playing
:08:16. > :08:20.games, it does -- for, playing game, it does very well indeed. It does
:08:20. > :08:26.not look like the smartphone has conquered the world of gaming just
:08:26. > :08:34.yet. Your thoughts would be very welcome. E-mail us or Tweet us.
:08:34. > :08:40.Next up, a look at this week's news. This week, millions of Iranian
:08:40. > :08:44.Netizens, have lost G mail, Facebook and popular foreign nuls
:08:44. > :08:49.pages. It appears to be intermittent. Many are concerned
:08:49. > :08:55.the Government may reveal its Internet system, effectively giving
:08:55. > :09:03.the authorities total control on their on-line activities. Apple has
:09:03. > :09:06.responded to pressure over a lop hope which allows apps to get
:09:06. > :09:11.addresses without permission. It comes after the revelation earlier
:09:11. > :09:18.this month that the path photo sharing app was uploading entire
:09:18. > :09:24.address books to its servers. It transpired that Facebook and
:09:24. > :09:31.Foursquare engage in similar practises. Apple's iPad is facing a
:09:31. > :09:36.legal battle in China. Pro-view claim it owns the name and is
:09:36. > :09:40.asking customs to ban the import and export of all products. It
:09:40. > :09:45.could be a threat to their sales as China is a main base for the
:09:46. > :09:50.company. Many have confiscated iPads from
:09:50. > :09:56.retailers. And finally, in a separate
:09:56. > :10:00.development, Amazon is seeking out talents to develop originalal TV
:10:00. > :10:05.content for its on-demand TV streaming service. All on-line
:10:05. > :10:13.video services are fighting to get a slice of what might become a very
:10:13. > :10:18.big pie. Netflix, YouTube and hu lu are developing exclusive shows for
:10:18. > :10:22.their platforms. OK, time to throw away your remote
:10:22. > :10:28.control now, because for the next part of the programme you will not
:10:28. > :10:38.need it. This week and for the next couple, we look at interfaces - new
:10:38. > :10:46.
:10:46. > :10:56.ways of interacting with new technology. This week, ges-tureE
:10:56. > :11:02.
:11:02. > :11:12.The way it works is it measured how light is reflected back from
:11:12. > :11:16.objects. Based on that it can re create the object.
:11:16. > :11:22.One of the more practical uses is natural interruption over your TV.
:11:23. > :11:26.Everybody is talking about over the top, smart TVs on-line programming.
:11:26. > :11:36.Everybody forgets that people are lazy and they want to sit down and
:11:36. > :11:40.
:11:41. > :11:45.You stand there. You get scanned. You will see your body on the
:11:45. > :11:48.screen. Then the clothes will be mapped to your body. Actually you
:11:49. > :11:54.are working fabric come positions as well. It is precise. For the
:11:54. > :11:59.purpose of this, the guessures you make are with your hands and body,
:11:59. > :12:06.so you can see how the garment looks at different angles. Use your
:12:06. > :12:11.hands to pick the garments on the screen.
:12:11. > :12:15.With women, particularly, there are problems with vanity sizing now. A
:12:15. > :12:20.lot of brands are giving you sizes so you feel you are thinner than
:12:20. > :12:23.you are. That does not help you shopping at home. It is a maze.
:12:23. > :12:33.That is what it is helping with. You look at the clothes as they are
:12:33. > :12:42.
:12:42. > :12:46.and not what they are telling you In our case we are using infra-red,
:12:46. > :12:53.to kuen kait between the marker and the base. -- communicate between
:12:53. > :12:58.the marker and the base. We have a link which carries audio from the
:12:58. > :13:03.marker. That way, if you are far away and want a good audio link, we
:13:03. > :13:08.have a microphone in there. there you go. Your hand is now a
:13:08. > :13:15.controller. Next week, in our look at interfaces, we will look at how
:13:15. > :13:21.your eyes and brain can be left to do the work for you.
:13:21. > :13:25.Mobile phones and the images shot on them have already revolutionised
:13:25. > :13:31.revolution. Their potential as tools for news-gathering is
:13:31. > :13:37.undeniable. Can the mobile ever be used as a creative tool of artistic
:13:37. > :13:47.expression? Can a mobile movie or cell phone cinema ever be as good
:13:47. > :13:48.
:13:48. > :13:56.as, well filmed film? We went to Paris's Mobile Film Festival, in
:13:57. > :14:01.search fof a BlackBerry Besson or an iPhone Fellini.
:14:01. > :14:06.This is the seventh time France has held its Mobile Film Festival.
:14:06. > :14:16.Although the films are only one minute long and the cameras tiny,
:14:16. > :14:17.
:14:17. > :14:22.Organisers have received more entries than ever. 380 films have
:14:22. > :14:26.been submitted by producers vying for prize money. And a unique
:14:26. > :14:32.chance to work with a professional production company putting together
:14:32. > :14:39.a short film that will go out on French television. So, why mobiles
:14:39. > :14:44.and why just one minute? We decided two things. You shoot with a moat -
:14:44. > :14:49.- mobile so everybody is equal, almost, and it is one minute long.
:14:49. > :14:53.This one minute is very important because it to make a good one
:14:53. > :14:59.minute film you have to think of it very well, you have to write the
:14:59. > :15:09.story, you have to write the dialogue potentially, to make it as
:15:09. > :15:11.
:15:11. > :15:21.Lives can turn on one minute, or one minute can reveal the lifetime
:15:21. > :15:26.
:15:26. > :15:31.Last year, Une Longue Tristesse won Best Film, which for a brief
:15:31. > :15:41.exchange between a man and a woman gives us a glimpse of a couple in

:15:59. > :16:03.that changed his life. He went on to direct a short film which went
:16:03. > :16:07.out on France's Canal Plus. The British actor Jason Wilcox appeared
:16:07. > :16:10.in both. What is extraordinary in this business, you get cynical
:16:10. > :16:15.people say you have made a movie with a mobile phone, what is that
:16:15. > :16:18.about? And a year later, having made a film where the budget is
:16:18. > :16:28.150,000 euros, a fair amount of money, now they are running down
:16:28. > :16:36.
:16:36. > :16:40.the hill saying this is a great The film industry is notoriously
:16:40. > :16:44.difficult to get into but the incredible array of inventiveness
:16:44. > :16:51.on show at the Mobile Film Festival reveals the industry could do a lot
:16:51. > :16:56.worse than tapping into this scene of emerging talent. Consumer
:16:56. > :17:01.camcorders and mobile phones mean this new generation has filmed and
:17:01. > :17:08.been filled more than any other in history but is that enough to make
:17:08. > :17:13.good film-makers? You know how to make a video of a cat, or the dog,
:17:13. > :17:19.anything that has no interest, but you are not a film maker. Film-
:17:19. > :17:24.making is knowledge, and experience, a technique, an art, and that is
:17:24. > :17:28.why we don't want to have this point of view of OK, you have a
:17:28. > :17:35.mobile, you can be a film-maker, no, you have to make this film
:17:35. > :17:39.qualities. That said there is something the professionals can
:17:39. > :17:44.take from the amateurs. The mobile phone is a particular type of

:17:47. > :17:54.cities and journalism and on the other hand it can be a family
:17:54. > :17:58.camera used to record intimacies between friends and relations. This
:17:58. > :18:03.second use was employed to great effect by the winner of this year's

:18:22. > :18:25.of a lift with two people inside. I said maybe I could try to make
:18:25. > :18:29.everything happen in one minute and then I said, why can't this girl
:18:29. > :18:32.tell a story in one minute and during filming that was the issue,

:18:54. > :18:59.
:18:59. > :19:02.Some might prefer to take the stairs. It would be interesting to
:19:02. > :19:07.see what other countries would come up with, faced with a similar set
:19:07. > :19:11.of rules, one mobile, one minute, one film. And we might get the
:19:11. > :19:19.chance. The organisers are exploring taking the Mobile Film
:19:19. > :19:24.Festival to London. Maybe we should try filming an
:19:24. > :19:29.entire episode of Click on a mobile phone one of these days. Someone on
:19:29. > :19:32.the team clearly disagrees. Moving on. Time for our weekly foray into
:19:32. > :19:38.the world of the Web as Kate Russell gets ready to shine a light
