Creative Media Practice: Isadora

Isadora

Friday 11th October 2013  

Our third task for this module is focused on Isadora and interactivity, we had a background story of the software where it started and why. Isadora is an open ended interactive media presentation tool. There so much anyone can do using the software as there is over 250 basis building blocks that can be connected, to create manipulate stunning visuals, sonic environments and media intensive theatrical experiences. 

In small groups we where given our mini brief, to decide on a short interactive narrative experience, that users can explore and engaged in the narrative. As it’s October our brief for this narrative is based around ‘Halloween’. So as a group we’ve decided to use materials such as; audio, stills, movie clips to create our interactive horror/haunting experience. So we’ve started planning our idea and research the internet for the materials where going to need but also to test to see if our narrative idea will work. 

Our Narrative Idea; 

-A Bates Motel still image at the start of the experience.

-Users will interact by making noises e.g. footsteps, knocking.

-Using & moving mouse will allow users to interact with some movie clips e.g. psycho shower scene. 

So the list of material things we need for our Isadora narrative are;

-Doorbell Noise     -Scream Noise     -A person in a window clip/image

-Howling wind Noise     -Creaking Door Noise     -Door Opening clip

-Bats flying Noise     -Whispers of People Talking     -Shower Scene from Psycho 

So from this week till next week as a group we need to collect the materials and also spending time getting use to the Isadora software.
