My partner also came up with the good idea of adding a mysterious ship that appears behind the protagonists. Thus adding mystery and tension to the scene.
* Checking on our progress, the lecturer recomended that we create a basic stick figure story board for the whole scene, thus adding more professionalism to the final product and showing more clearly how the overall project came together.
Therefore, I did so, using a basic story board template I found online (see Harvard Referencing below).
* Afterwards, Ed and I went over the script and made a list on all the audio and folio sounds we would need for the story reel. This required a lot of work as we had to think about every possible sound made by the characters and locations including...
Page 1:
- Heavy atmospheric music
- Noise as title appears? (whooshing)
- Humming (noise)
- Air Conditioning
- Guitar strumming
- Footsteps
Page 2:
- Opening door (solid sound)
- Crew work noises
- Bridge sound effects (consoles etc.)
- Intercom noise
- Footsteps
- Tools
Page 3:
- Hands clapping
- General movement noises
Page 4:
- Golem’s story ambient music
- Story effects
- Intercom
Page 5:
- Patting on metal
- Rustling noise
Page 6:
- Intercom Noise
Page 7:
- De-cloaking sound
- Running crew
- Noises of many different sized ships
- Hangar doors
- Patting noise
- Intercom noise
- Flying through atmosphere
- City street noises (Mixed)
- Vigil lowering
- Heavy landing noise
- Many legged creature
- Electric motor doc bot.
Page 8:
- Fast motor noise
- Footsteps
- Pebbles being moved
- Pebbles being thrown
- Wind
* I also raised a point I had thought of recently. Since it looks like the current script is going to be around 12 minutes long and not everyone has the attention span for that, perhaps we should break it up and display on the computer screen a page of videos that the audience can choose from e.g. parts 1-6 that each list how long they are and are entitled to explain what the scene is about.
Once Ed agreed with this, I edited the script to fit these individual parts. After all, our audience may well be keen to watch our work, but may not have the time to watch the whole thing. Therefore, we give them a choice on how long they spend each time and as a result don't put pressure on them to watch the whole thing, or on ourselves when we see someone leave half way through. Again, this may not be because they don't like the piece, they may just want to look at everything else during the show.
* Overall, we had a good productive day today and will aim to look over the character descriptions next week when Ed will also show up with the background for his pilot character. We will also finally decided on how the golem and ship will sound before their voices are edited, thus we plan to practice over the weekend.
