My Idea

OK so I've got an initial idea for my project finally after lots of procrastination and confusion!

My plan is to make an interactive film, which is playable online, I aim to make it different to other interactive games as the player will have a much wider range of choices, for example the user will be able to chose certain elements in a room, by clicking them to examine them, sort of like a point and click game with real people.


Broken Sword


I have got the idea for this game from playing games such as Broken Sword and also from researching interactive film for the essay we had to make last term I found that the interactive films were a bit slow and became boring.
I wanted to merge the two fields to make an interactive film/game.

There are of course problems that could come about using this process, the main one being the amount of times I would have to film. I have therefore chosen not to use actors in the piece as I feel that it would be a lot of work to keep the continuity and flow using actors, whereas objects can't change of their own accord.

My first idea is to film a cupboard full of objects and have a bowl which all the ingredients can be put in to. I would then have to film every combination of the objects. I would therefore need to limit the number of objects to around 10 as there would still be a large amount of combinations.
