The images i will be using

Below are the images i have taken for my interactive narrative project. i have explained in my flow chart post about each of these images.

This is the first image that will show when the file is opened, the image is of Dave laid in bed with an alarming expression on his face, combined with the alarm going off too this will give the viewer a clear indication that he is late and should have been up by now.

This one shows Dave getting dressed ready for work, this will be displayed when the get dressed button is pressed on the first screen (above). I am expressing to the user the fact that he is dressing by taking a shot that shows him mid way dressing i.e putting the tie on, with a wardrobe in the background backing up the fact that he is dressing. On this frame the sound of ruffling will be heard in the background to again help the viewer to understand that he is dressing.

This is the image that will be displayed when the have bath button is pressed on the first screen. I have taken an image of a tap with running water to give the viewer a clear indication that he is taking a bath, this will work really well with the running water sound in the background because the image will automatically interact with the viewer helping them to understand better.


This is the image that will appear when the leave house button is pressed on the second screen that appears. There is a clear indication that Dave is about to walk out of the house because his hand is on the handle also with him being bent slightly forward this shows he is about to move forward without actual movement. I will be having the sound of a door opening too, to express the whole opening the door factor. Dave is also still wearing the shirt and tie uniform to keep the movie consistent, not even changing slight detail that might put the viewer off.


This image will appear if the make tea option is selected on the second screen. It shows the basic environment of what is used when you make a cup of tea. The kettle, tea container and the cup, this will express to the user the whole idea of the tea making. Then with the sound of boiling water in the background, this will give the typical ides of the tea making environment

This image will be used as a restart screen, expressing to the user that they have chosen the wrong option because it shows the time with the sound of a clock ticking in the background, this sound will be quite low though as i would like to add a short audio clip at the beginning of Dave saying "its too late now i wont get there on time".

This image will also be used as a restart screen, for example when frame 5 is selected as it will have a ring in late button, this will show the user that they have chosen the wrong option. I have taken this photo as i have the rest, with a particular stance in mind, Dave is stood on the phone with a disappointed look on his face which is clear and shows that the option the user has chosen is wrong, also in the background i want a ringing sound to go off. If you notice i have also used the same area/environment as i have for the image that shows him leaving the house.


This is the final image, this is the screen that shows the user that they have chosen the right path and have completed successfully. This image shows Dave meeting his 'client', again there is a sense of movement within this image as it shows Dave half sat down, looking as though he is about to sit down, what i also like about this photograph is that Chris (my other model) has his hand outreaching towards Dave as if he is happy he is there. Again Dave is still in the same clothing to show the consistency within the images.

As you might have already noticed all of the images have a black border around them, i have done this as i think if i just used the images themselves the user would have problem with navigating there eyes around them but with the black border they have a boundary stopping their eyes from wandering.
