Week 5 – The first version of the script outline

I watched Mamoru Hosoda’s animated film Belle a while ago, which is Mamoru Hosoda’s third internet-related film. The first internet-related film that director Mamoru Hosoda made was Summer wars, released in 2009, which is an animated film that I really liked. With that influence, I wanted me to have this audio set in a place that was similar to an online community. For example, the gaming community in Ready Player One and the online world in Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2. The difference is that the gaming community in my audio is cyberpunk style. I chose this style because I really like the game Detroit: Become Human.

About the choice of narrator’s voice. Every game has novice guidance, a voice that tells you the rules of the game and how to control the character when you first enter the game. So I was thinking that I could position the narrator in the audio as a novice guidance. This game is about game sound design and this voice tells us some of the concepts of sound design in games. In choosing this voice, I referenced the voice of the novice guidance for the game Detroit: Become Human.
