My first MAIN idea for my interactive story was to create a tension building thriller like animation. It took me a while to decide on the genre, whilst humour can be easily interpreted in a simple animation I wanted to create a shock on the viewers using tension which can be greatly emphasised using sounds. I decided to create this genre because of the music I have recently been listening to, called progressive house which has very long build-ups which creates a lot of tension within the listener and I thought why not involve this method within my story?
I suggested this to my peers and one said it was "good idea, something different".
Although I am going to use stickman in the animation I have decided to create the animation using life like background, although drawn using Flash, I want to give the backgrounds a real life feeling with shadows and darkness etc. Some of my backgrounds I made I have drawn over the top from real backgrounds to make the viewer feel as though it's real. I don't want to have any text within the animation as I want the story to be told with imagery, using text can really draw away the attention of tension, having to stop and read captions etc.
I gained a lot of my inspiration for my ideas from classic school horror scenarios, although I'm not looking to scare anyone, I would really like to re-create an original story with the sense of thrill. As my ideas are progressing I have thought of new ways to build tension, using lightning, it will appear with a flash and a loud noise witch could jump the viewer but also it will reveal the silhouette of the monster which I think creates a classic edge.
