Summary On Presentation
Our presentation went quite well, we forgot to cover sound in our presentation we was a minor glitch we can easily repaired. We also put a link on the presentation we wasn't accessible because the pc we were using wasn't linked to the internet, which our group got slattered for, however as we are paying £3000 a year we kinder expected internet would of been on the pc, however we should of checked before hand. Oh Well! On whole our group worked well together and created a possitive output for our Narrative presentation.
Our Group Presentation
This is a brief outline what we covered in our group presentation:
We answered these 8 Questions
1) TITLE
2) What will be the overall content and style, genre of the narrative?
3) Is this work similar to something that already exists, if so give an example and if not why not?
4) What are you intending to be the effect on the audience?
5) What are the key events that make up the narrative/story?
6) Provide justification that it is possible to produce the narrative/story on time with the resources allocated and available.
7) Explain the technical format you will use for your finished narrative.
8) Give a breakdown of the roles and tasks that individuals will undertake during the project.
Answers
1. Eternal Conflict
2. (see question 5)
3. Samurai Jack, The Mask, Sin City, A Scanner Darkly
4. We are hoping to provoke discussion on the themes of duality and interior conflict present in the main character. We are also hoping to entertain the audience with a distinctive visual style and an exciting action scene, we want to emphasise the aesthetics of the film with little sound.
5. The three key events are when the white character looks in the mirror and sees the darker side of himself. The battle that ensues as the two elements jostle for supremacy and the final scene where the white element is revealed to be hollow and the black element takes the fallen elements mask and places it on himself. He becomes a fusion of the two elements and balance is restored. the story will be linear and have a traditional three act structure. It is influences by the noir genre and the fight will be styled like Japanese animé.
6. We have members of our group who have experiance in both film and animation, the visual style is primarily film, traced over with contrasting black and white in flash. This is a very straightforward, yet time consuming method. Because of its simplicity all members of the group can be taught this technique. Backgrounds will be made from still photos heavily edited in photoshop. This eliminates the need for props as they can be drawn in.
7. The technical format will likely be a flash file exported as quicktime.

Narrative Brief
Narratives Project Brief
Group members
Will BartanAdam WilkinsStuart RoeThomas Robinson Richard Parr Joseph Ridgeway
Project Title“Light vs Dark” – Working Title
Premise/Theme
The topic/theme of the film is about the conflict between light and dark, the constant wrestle of these two elements in a world full of hidden conflict. The forces of evil and good. The film will examine the idea of dual/twin identities, in both the self and the environment. Also the conflict and chaos this can provoke. The main focus of the film will be imagery rather than dialogue.
How will we have an impact upon the audience?
The film will be created using a combination of both animation and minidv camera footage to present an interesting and creatively used canvas. There will be strong use of contrast and lighting to reinforce the films themes.

My You Tube Reply Video (Video which I will reply too)
I have decided to comment on this video which I found quite funny and the whole concept of how much you use smileys in emails determine how many cats you have when your older was quite sureal but true as in the way that people are so ignorant and lazy to even show there emotions or type how they feel they could be like egyptians who worshiped cats.

Interactive Narrative Brief
I have be assigned a task to create an interactive web based program exploring a place of my choose.
I have choosen my house. I will give the user paths within my house e.g. upstairs downstairs, these will be nodes and within these nodes there will be options to soom in objects, turn objects on like taps or open doors. Also on some images there will be a rollover explanation abpout certain items and what they mean to meen to me. Giving the audience a sense of personel interaction. I will make this by taking images on a tripod (making sure the images are the frame) and take pictures of the enviroment, then open a cupboard door. With this set of images I will create a rollover on the closed cupboard door and once clicked it will open the hyperlink to the next webpage with thew open door image. Giving the user a sense of that they have openend the cupboard door.
