Installation plan

this is my plan for my installation which is heavily influenced by 

John Akomfrah: Purple

installation, where he had multiple screens in a dark room, I also want to have bean bags for the viewers so they have a more comfortable, viewing experience.

I plan to have a picture of the final shot (the purple moon) projected on the roof of the viewing room if possible.

Designing game assets and scenes

I designed some assets for each of the riddles using using illustrator, I did make overly complex designs and I stuck to simple colour designs so the objects were not so difficult to make.

I used illustrator to design some scenes for my game

,

The first scene I chose to create a living room area aesthetic 

I did some research and found this artwork by Vectorpouch from 'freepik' .

I was inspired by the colour selection and I made an illustration below using a similar pallet but simplified and a bit softer in terms of gradient.

I then made a simple background with clouds and grass which was simple to make.

Afterwards I made this to display a room with a later opening door, using the line and brush tools.

final video edits 2

I added graphics to show my title and final credits, 

this was needed but before I added them the film had rendered very smoothly, but soon afterwards the flow of the frames became stagnant again. I used keyframes to move the moon around which I think worked out well, I also used a clearer and close up shot at the end of the moon. I thought that would be important since its the main objective for the viewer it makes no sense for it to be blurry.

I loved how the music worked coherently with the flow of the film, I still intend to work on the movie to create a smoother outcome though.

 

Part of final edits

I cropped out a lot of the animation dialogue when I noticed I preferred using the song created in auidition, I also removed the bouncing moon since it was hard to transition smoothly and seemed very out of place to me. I also added the new videos I recorded which seem alright, but I want to remove the scenes where I am walking up the stairs now after watching the video. My favourite thing so far is the water transitions, but everything else seems a bit too shaky for me I will have to render the video.

Another thing I dislike are my shots at the end, they are too stiff and need some transitions.

 

 Final filming

I filmed for one last time where, I took medium, long and close up shots of my friend running,

Even though the weather conditions were harsh I was still able to capture decent footage. With the help of another student i directed a shot where they walked inside a deep puddle to create a wide ripple.

I had to take a couple shots of my friend and choose the best one. this was the same for the rest, therefore I would have a large selection to choose from when I edit them.

More music editing

I placed my favourite versions of noir jazz and classical horror songs into audition. 

I used music from mcleod and 'the hunt'. 

I first inserted the jazz music which is in the first column, and had one continuous song playing, in the next column I inserted parts of 'the hunt' which i cropped, I also decreased the volume each time before I cropped the tracks to help make it sound smooth. I did the same for the other columns.

Overall the sound produced sounded mystifying, chilling and yet relaxing.
 

More editing /film

Using photoshop, I used some older pictures I took which I then edited them one by one making them significantly darker over time, I did this because I noticed some of the pictures I took were better than the footage of the sky I captured in videos,  it was because the weather progressively became more unpredictable meaning less consistent sunny skies  and I ended up filming a lot of gloomy looking clouds. Overall, I liked the edits and I intended to blend them into the final film.
