planning team trailer

This is our brainstorm as a team on our ideas we made, we all put in our own ideas and decided together which would be the best or in our case used a few of each other’s idea all into one big idea to make the final plan, we decided on the team name The Awoken: Guardians of Titus.

This was all decided this morning on the 29^th of November 2011 were we all made ideas of names for the game for the trailer which is on the picture above, the following were made from each member:

Lewis: Dead Tomorrow, Survival, Fighting to Survive, Doomed.

Ivo: Bad feeling, The Tomb of Titus, 2147, Last man alive, Apocalyptic Hell, Lion Hell.

Adam: The Awoken, Salt Rising, The temple of Titus, 2042, Carnage.

Joe: TOMB, Depths, Broken Soil, Diary of a madman.

Rob: Tomb of Secrets, the Awoken, Guardians of Titus.

Then we decided just to use the awoken guardians of Titus to add 2 names together in the end which we all decided was an appropriate name because the lions are going to be the main focus of the trailer they will come to life as zombies and we will use the themes they have in their names which are War, Vigilance, Peace and Determination.

Job Roles:

Joe: Sound effects, plot, creature/zombie or Photoshop effects.

Adam: Tomb and environments

Ivo: Lion/Lions, hands and lantern, zombie duck near the canal.

Rob: 3d architecture, hawk

Lewis: Sound effects (Lewis Radio) and 1 female zombie.

Alex: Photoshop splash effects.

Story so far.
The story will start by our character which will be in first person you will only see the characters hands at some points during the trailer, he will start in a tomb in Saltaire in the future where the radio will be playing “Lewis radio” or “apocalyptia” which is part of the audio effects, he is writing or looking at a map with a lantern lighting it up, then the door blows open and then something happens, we are having the 4 lions (war, peace, determination and vigilance) in Saltaire come to life and zombies and other things also happen.
This will take place in Roberts Park and will be in the future where zombies have taken over, some other characters may include, Titus salt, some of his workers from the mill and maybe some of his family but they will all appear as zombies if they appear. The deadline for the trailer is 10th and this link with open day and the digital showcase as we are hoping to show off our trailers in these occasions.

Analogue Overview

Analogue sound is completely different to digital, it involves physical thing, it has unlimited bandwidth. it is vibrations and is arguably a higher quality sound than digital.
Formats are vinyl records and magnetic tape, the slower the tape moves and the thicker the size the higher the quality of sound.
Digital sound is stored as bytes of information on the media which are made into sounds by using a computer and exact copies can be made of the original, analogue sound is information stored as varying strength of magnetic fields or heights of the grooves which can be amplified.

"Audio and video have been analog since the beginning of radio and TV and the first magnetic recording. While the industry is almost entirely digital today, analog is still around in the form of AM/FM radio, audio cassettes and VHS tapes. The ability to capture the subtle nature of the real world is the advantage of analog techniques. It takes huge digital capacities and bandwidth to match the granularity of many analog systems."

Planning for trailer

As a group we did a brainstorm about what genre we wanted our trailer to be based around so each member of our group chose a genre we would want to do and what we would want the trailer to involve for example i chose horror and said i wanted it to be first person where the person is running away heavy breathing in the dark.
We will decide as a group which idea and genre is best from the questionairres we did. from the answers we recieved the most out of. when we have decided as a group which idea we want to do we will then make a start on the trailer which will most likely be after the christmas holidays.
