Location idea

On the top of Pendle Hill is the reservoir that could possibly be the place where images could be projected from.

Different famous witches

Wicked witch of the west

Charmed

Macbeth

Modern Day Witch Hunts

Terrorism
Pedophiles

Water Boarding

This is a form of modern day torture. It creates the impression that the victim is being drowned without actually drowning the person. It makes the body's gag reflexes.

The night of the hunter research

This scene was shot underwater showing a girl that was been tied to a car. It gives the idea of something being very horrific but yet beautiful at the same time.

Update with Bill and Chris

Trail by drowning
Ophelia
water boarding
witch hunt
Look at the play the crucible
Night of the hunter- shelly writers water scene
link to contemporary issues and culture- modern day witch hunt is pedophiles and terrorism

Grave Video

Location grave

This is the grave of alice nutter, one of the pendle witches. This is where the site specific media will be placed

Location scouting up pendle hill

Today went around Pendle hill to visit the location of where the witches grave is.

I have decided to based on witchcraft and the trails of the witches. The loaction I want to based the media on is the grave of Alice Nutter, one of the pendle Hill Witches.


Change of idea

The ideaof creating a video game on a landscape did not have much site specific scope. The game could have been anywhere and was not very specific to the place.

Game idea

A shooting range. The player goes to a location where mountains are visable and the player has to shoot characters that appearing as if they are climbing through the mountains.

Men in black ride, universal studios

"The ride's outcome is based on your score – save Earth and you might get promoted to full-fledged Men in Black agent. With multiple endings, it's never the same ride twice! Have you got what it takes to join the best of the best? "

The ride use's zappers to hit the targets.

Design proposal

I want to create game that interact's with its enviroment. I want to use character that are projected but no level design. The game will work like the channel 4 idents were the player has to look at it from a certain angle in order for the game to function correctly.

Update with kath

Character design and game design
interaction for one person
on a building or scafolding
"real" platform game
projected animations to shoot and interact with

Objectives

Learn about animation and character design
Create a real life level design.

Level design

What i need to do
  • think about the location
  • what i want the game to do
  • location scouting
  • Research flash games
Be ambitious, don't think about the small coding part.
Maybe think about different things happening that could change the point system.

Creating a game from the location as the level


The idea of this is selecting a location that has elements that could be used as level design. The location will have a basic game that uses elements of architecture the or landscape were characters can walk along, race and interact with. An example of this is using real scaffolding for the mario game.

Pub

A pint glass with motion sensor determining the weight of the beer. There is a video projected inside the pint glass. As the more alcohol has been drank, the video changes.

Places that people have died, tell there story.

Things that are not actually there.!!

I am liking this idea, a place with history or a past, with an myth, urban legend. The myth can be seen in a room.
