The power of colour!

The Eagle is one of my favourite animals, and i have chosen to demonstrate the power of colour with this photo. With its natural colours, the photo of the Eagle "swooping" portrays its beauty and elegance.

With a simple adjustment of the red and yellow midtones and highlights in certain areas of the picture, the eagle becomes much more fierce and intimidating. Colour change can change the way a photograph is viewed and interpreted!

"The Hitman" FINISHED!

The Hitman by ~Birdman2989 on deviantART




After all the blood, sweat and tears of learning to use Flash, my very first creation using Flash is complete!

The Hitman puts the audience in the shoes of a convict who has been brought out of prison to do the bidding of a crooked London "gangster".

After letting numerous peers play through the narrative and improving it on what they suggested, i am pleased with the finished product. I am especially happy with the usage of audio in my piece, during the weapon select scenes if the user rolls the mouse over a weapon, an audio description is read out stating the weapons features and numerous other facts. This will hopefully point the audience in choosing the right weapon, as a wrong decision will end their game!

An analysis of an existing interactive Narrative

http://ray.freeonlinegames.com/

Ray is an interactive narrative that places the user in the shoes of a hitman and forces them to make decisions based on the situation Ray finds himself in. Depending on how you react to the situation you are given a number and at the end of the narrative the numbers are added up and the user is given a rank. According to the creator of ray, if the game is not played through 4 times, then the user will miss out on over 40 different scenes.

When creating my interactive narrative, i hope to present the user with situations which cause them to become emotionally involved and empathise with the narrative. This is more likely to trigger an honest response from them. I would like my narrative to tell a story, much like Ray does and offer seperate endings depending on the choices the user has made. A prototype of my narrative may be necessary to determine what responses are taken by the audience. I aim to have developed the structure and plot of my narrative by the end of this weeks seminar so i can begin production for next week.
