Today we had a group tutorial with everyone to help one another with bouncing suggestions and feedback which was great help. While we were updating everyone on our progress, we had a few suggestions and discussion, once more if there was anyway to up the motivation to help Red. We all talked about submitting it a day before the crit day as well in order to give people time to play it.

One brought up that there was a suicide hotline game that is similar and we should look into it, called ‘Don’t take this risk’ in order to see how they handled the script and code.

Today in class we looked more into the idea of improving the ideation of the project asking ourselves a few questions:

Is it making you excited?

Is it topical?

Does it link to specific aniversay or day?

Does is satisfy me emotionally or physically?

What happens to kickstart the narrative?

who is the story about?

why should we care about the,?

what background info do we need?

what do your characters overcome the obstacles?

How do you want the audience to feel?

what do your characters want or need?

How can I make this even better

For us what we considered after looking at the list of questions would be to understand this letter to the moon, has anyone else written letters to the moon? What is this girl’s motivation to write a letter the moon? What has the moon helped her in her life?

During our tutorial we talked more technical talk as that was our biggest concern at that point of time. The script and mood board was completed and pre production was underway. 

We discussed a breakdown sheet and the specific types of equipment that we should consider adding to the list in order to shoot well at night. After discussion we have fixed on the full equipment list:
