This week we settled our group and continue to develop a draft moodboard.
This week we sent our blogs with our work to the VR tutor – Ana Tudor – so she should check our style and skills. After her consideration, she confirmed to us that the final group was agreed and that we were all in so we added our group in Padlet.
Since we could not meet the involved lecturers and the studios’ external partners this week to discuss the brief of the project, we thought of making an initial brain storming of our idea of a dystopian environment related to global warming. Therefore, we added a moodboard in Mira with pictures and notes of our thoughts. We also made a WhatsApp group chat with all the student team members so we can share ideas and communicate easily. I think everyone in our group is really respectful and involved in this project so we got along with each other easily despite the fact that we do not know each other yet.
Our first idea departs from desolation and fallen apart buildings with some small greenery ground depicting the pass of time.
Also, due to rise of the sea level, we considered the possibility of an underwater world with the destroyed buildings surrounded by seaweed and just a few fish floating around (as most of them are extinct.
We also took researched another artists work as reference of dystopian scenery design.
Lastly, we thought of ways of interaction of the user with the story and environment, for example, with objects that could trigger memories from the past that gives details of what happened and how the world ended like this.
