Our brief was to create a short, interactive narrative for users to be guided through, and as Halloween is coming up, it had to have a spooky theme! In teams we first had to come up with an idea, and our group based ours around the film Psycho... To be more specific, The Bates Motel.
We started with this image and developed our story from here. From this we created the narrative, we wanted the user to be guided from this image into the house.. To the famous shower scene.
Our narrative structure started with the user being asked to walk up to the house, We wanted the noise of someone walking to trigger the sound of footsteps on the screen and use that to jump to the next scene.
We also wanted the bonus material of hearing a woman scream if you hoovered the mouse of the woman in the window of the image.
Once someone created the sound of footsteps we decided the image should jump to a front door were you are asked to knock using the space bar. The trigger of tapping the space bar 3 times would start the sound of knocking followed by the creak of a door opening weere you would move on to the image of a corridor.
From the corridor, we decided that the user would need to select a door, hoovering the mouse over the door would open it... to reveal the shower scene!
The narrative is pretty simple, but we wanted to keep it that way; mainly because we were using a new piece of software that we weren't sure how to use and therefore didn't want to over complicate things and make it harder for us to create.
Our next step was to gather all the material, we decided we would need:
- The Psycho shower scene footage
- Sound of Footsteps
- Sound of Knocking
- Sound of a creaking door
- A woman screaming
- An image of a corridor
- Atmosphere sound - Spooky/Wind Howling/Thunder
