I had never previously made an ethics charter for any projects I have done previously, but I think it is a necessary tool in ethically conducting a film containing people, especially if it is documentary or interview style. There are three main sets of obligations for practitioners to consider when making a documentary: obligations to the participants, the audience, and their own artistic vision. These three things can often conflict with each other.. Read More

The main message I was trying to convey in my video was that love and beauty is scattered all around and that memories, big and small, are always being made. I started off with a shot of the fountain and exhibition building to establish the location. I then had a series of shots of birds, some close-up, some mid and some wide. Intertwined with these shots of the birds, I started to capture.. Read More
My studio – Real World Media The Rise and Fall of the Codans I was very impressed with this groups final result. They accurately represented their story across multiple mediums with many artistic choices playing to each of their strengths. The creation of interactive museum space of a made up alien planet who went to nuclear war is no easy task and I couldn’t imagine a better representation. A goal of their group.. Read More
Title: Murder Mystery Summary: Our final project displayed a murder mystery interactive game, inspired by escape rooms. Players had to follow clues to piece the puzzle together of who killed Mrs Clement. This involved solving riddles, finding hidden keys and using their knowledge of the story to work out who was the murderer and why.

We were so happy with how our expo went, we had three sets of people walk through our room each experiencing it in a slightly different way. Despite only having a corner of a large room with all other kinds of things happening our room really came together when we added our props and created the illusion that you had stepped inside of Mrs Clement’s office. It was interesting to see how different.. Read More
By week 12 we had all our elements of the room sorted and it was time to test, test, test. Playtesting is extremely important in the development of any game to “ensure that the final product meets the expectation of players and developers alike” (Chatterjee 2022). It was absolutely necessary that we did as we ran into some issues, some of these being; Clues containing numbers having 4 digits when our locks only.. Read More
With two weeks to go, we needed to complete our story and get our heads around the ins and outs of the different aspects of the flow of the story. We have already decided on some crucial elements to the story such as who gets murdered (Mrs Clement) and who murders her (Mr Clement), but in order to add a bit more depth to our story we needed to look into the typical..

After presenting our pitch we realised we need to refine some aspects of our project. Upon reflection we decided that the idea of an escape room might be too hard to create from scratch in such little time so instead we opted for an interactive game. Whilst researching into interactive games and storytelling we came upon this quote; “While story is still king, creating an experience where people need to discover and.. Read More
Our group decided on our idea for assignment 4 and that is to create a mini escape room based on a murder mystery. We had a group call and came up with some ideas together and what ‘deliverables’ we are planning on submitting. Our primary focus this week was getting our slides ready for our pitch and doing some initial research surrounding our topic. This included putting some keywords/buzzwords such as ‘storytelling’, ‘genre’,.. Read More
