Week 2 - Task Sheet 13/03/2017

Task Sheet Week 2

Absences:   all present

Last week's progress:

• Since last week we had all been working towards the idea we initially had of the illusion theatre/magic show.
• We each brought several ideas and initial concepts following research on the decided upon theme which included various examples of concepts, plans and paintovers.
• A presentation was made for todays meeting session which we received some good feedback on based on the scope of our project and the concepts behind the interaction model.
• In general the theme is fairly strong (illusion/trickery and physics based interaction) but the scale of doing that -and- a whole theatre interior would likely prove way too much work for our timescale
• During our meeting we have shifted the location from a theatre to an interior of a sort of manor house which would have the same sort of trick spaces which lowers the scale of the project but increases its level of focus

Issues:

·         Scope is too big. Revision needed

·         Idea is still unclear

Things to take forward and complete:

• Returning to initial research based on new direction (Twisted manor/house interior rather than theatre) Smaller and more manageable. Broken down into seperate rooms
• Following research the first half of the week we need to whitebox before next monday as a priority
• Figure out room layouts and their relation to each other
• Try and decide on the specifics of the 'illusions' so that we can arrange our different rooms together.

Conclusion

This week's goal is to research Victorian houses, illusions and layouts. In turn creating a white box for the paint-over's.
