Developing Ideas

How statistics will be useful in determining a fair score:
- By determining the count of (pedal rotations and vehicles passed) and entering it into our equation, we can keep scores fair throughout players.
- Effectively, a high score is determined by: shortest time, highest number of passed vehicles and pedaling.

Points raised for discussion:
- Race?
- Include route difficulty?
- An equation to determine an overall route score?

Design Brief:
- Purpose.
- Context.
- Audience.
- Aim.
- Constraints.

Script:
- A world: Melbourne. Expression of a fast pace city environment, with little space for error.
- A character: Early 20’s, passionate bike rider. Competitive. Seems like a computer gamer.
- A problem: Competing with other bike riders, character aims to finish a route in a tight time frame. A breakdown: The previous night a friend of the rider had beaten a record made by the character. Really annoyed. It is a difficult route and the character is confident in getting his record back. The image is shown that this is the characters life, day in day out he races bikes. Scene switches into friend interviews to further explain characters commitment to this game. Character then begins race and retrieves his record. Conclusion.
- Purpose of story: Aims for its audience to better understand the concept of the game. While the demonstration must appeal to the audience.

Script developing ideas:
- Biker at beginning of route: Flick pedal under foot, tighten helmet, tighten handgrip, tighten brakes, show off general bike mechanics, and discuss more camera angles.

Structure of Events:
Introduction: Wake up, prep bike and walk off into field.
In-between: Friend interviews.
Body (as follows): Beginning of route will feature rider, breaks into a slow motion departure, fast pace race.
In-between: Submitting results.
Conclusion: Ride away and fade.

  1. I don't think we need to specifically create a race challenge since people will be competeing for the shortest time anyway.

    The film you've mentioned at the bottom is the major one yeah? We're going to be making a simple concept video on Monday correct?
