Interactive Narrative - Evaluation

Overall, i am very pleased with the way my interactive narrative turned out and on the whole i enjoyed making it, after finally working out how to use Flash. I now find it quite easy to use and for further work i would like to experiment by including sounds and animations.

Frightened Rabbit - Bright Pink Bookmark

Frightened Rabbit - Bright Pink Bookmark (from The Midnight Organ Fight) Animated by Mark Charlton at Bluestar Animation.

I think this video is really cleverly done and well animated.

Frightened Rabbit - I Feel Better

Directed and Animated by Sam Molleur Featuring Trevor Byrne Visual FX by Mike Humphrey.

A really cool video. I like the combination of the drawings crossed with the realistic animations.

Essay

Finally got round to starting my design process essay today. I have written about 500 words and finally it's starting to make some sense.

I will post my personal evaluation on it at a later date.

Addictive

After the first lecture on interactive narrative on friday, it reminded me of this game..

After spending quite a while playing this, i have found it to be a very effective idea and i will hopefully make my own project something similar to this.

One Shot - Design Process

Discovering. . .
This involved looking on youtube at existing videos of similar one shot films, which gave me inspiration and got me thinking about my own project.

Developing. . .
Making notes and brainstorming some of the best ideas. Meeting up as a group in order to put together some of the better storylines that were thought up.

Defining. . .
This involved piloting ideas with a video camera to get an idea of what worked well and what did not. It helped to get an idea of lighting and the way which the camera could be moved without removing it from the tripod.

Delivering. . .
Showing the film to others and getting a personal evaluation of how effective the film was.
