Fears Room

The final room in my interactive box will be the fears room. This will include an interactive flash narrative taking the user through my own personal deepest and darkest fears. The aim of the game will be to avoid the fears to win the game. This is very personal to me because i seem to have many fears. I have decided that the fears that i amgoing to be including in the narrative will be snakes, heights, needles, being late, commitments, sharks and depths of the sea.

Enjoyments Room

Storyboard

Door Design

Interactive video design

THE SECOND ROOM IN MY INTERACTIVE BOX WILL BE NAMED MY ENJOYMENTS ROOM. THIS ROOM WILL BE CENTRED AROUND stand up comedy because it is one of my favorite past times at the moment. Here is the design and developments centred around the enjoyments room.. The final image shows the storyboard of this room. This will include a video of my favorite stand up comedy moments including clips of my reactions to the comedy to make the video more personal to me.

Experience/Ambitions Room

This room is the first and most important of the rooms in the interactive box. This will include a whitboard animation mainly describing my life and ambitions from day 1, this will begin in the past with my ambitions of becoming a pro footballer, this will then move on to my past experiences and move into the present day, it will then cross the line of reality and move into my future experiences and ambitions including graduating from university etc. Below is the story board describing what the white board animation will look like

Box Design and Development 2

Above are the final designs for my box, they are both in plan view and i have decided to include 3 rooms containing, enjoyments, fears, and experience/ambitions. The story behind the project is based around the ambitions room. My ambition as a child was to become a proffesional footballer, this is expressed as the unreal down one end of the tunnel, where the avatar can see the football match being played but cannot get onto the pitch, because it is expressed as the unreal, however the avatar can walk up to the other end of the tunnel where reality lies which is present day fears, ambitions and enjoyments. Below is a storyboard of the opening scene.

Box Design and Development

I decided that the box theme would be based around the theme of football, i decided this because the theme of the identities project will be based around ambition and the line between reality and the unreal. Below are the first stages of design of the football tunnel, this will be where the avatar will be based and will also cantain the rooms with all of the interactive items that i will include and explain about later.

Avatar Design and Development

Here is the design and development stages of my avatar. When designing the avatar i also decided to use the initial thoughts from my mood board therefore i included the adjectives that i used to describe my appearance and my personality. These words were tall, competative and fast. Therefore the appearance of my avatar is obviously tall, andtherfore i decided to portray the competative and quick side to the personality through making the avatar constantly run. the above images show all of the designs and development of the avatar so far.

Logo Design and Development

Here are the designs for my logo for my identities project. I thought about the logo portraying my personality and immedietly my initials came to mind, because there is noting else that can really get more personal to an individual. I also though about using my signature as part of my logo. I decided to experiment with some other ideas that i had in my head including my interests such as sports and watches. I then thought about the mood board that i had created earlier on in the project, so then the idea of strength came to mind, therefore i decided to experiment with the two arms in an arm wrestle, i thought that this could also portray competativeness. I then decided to move on o the city skyline because i had included this im my mood board and also thought that it could portray strength height and could also include my initials, this is the design that i think i will move along to develop further.

Second Life

Today was my first attempt at using second life, at first I was skeptical because I did not like the thought of spending time on a computer to socialize with random strangers. As I began to experiment I first found out that my computer did not have the required graphics card for the experience to work correctly, therefore the screen was very jolty and quite slow. I decided upon the name Willy Lectar and began straight away. I began to walk around the virtual world which is shown in the first image, I then decided to attempt a conversation with someone after 10 minutes exploring the virtual world. I began to talk to one random woman asking her advice on what to generally do In the virtual world, she didn’t seem too sure and then suggested that we should fly!!!! Therefore I began to follow her in the sky and very shortly after decided to log out. At this point I decided that I was not interested in logging in too soon in the future.
