Semester 02 - Week 03

This week we completed our entire script!

Combined with our script from semester 01, the entire plot is now 30 scenes long. Of course, some of these scenes are optional, and the player won't see them all in one viewing.

The film has 3 alternate endings that we have dubbed 'good', 'neutral' and 'bad'. The idea of having a branching ending and different conclusions is to invite the player to come back and try again, aiming for a different ending.

This week we are going to commence constructing storyboards based upon our script. We are using the same software as last semester, FrameForge Previz Studio. It allows quick rendering of 3D environments and characters, and camera angles can be set up in any position to help visualise the final film.

We also received some good news this week. Our actors have confirmed they are free to film during Weeks 06 and 07, so this keeps us on a good schedule. We'll have the filming done by the end of Week 07, and then have weeks 08 - 14 for post-production. Post-production will be relatively stress-free this semster due to our decision to decrease the amount of special effects we will be using.

I'm happy to report that as of this week, everything is on track. Next week we submit our project plan, and then we have a few weeks before filming to work on our online folios.
