Story Circle

-

A story circle is a storytelling device used to tell the structure of a story which is divided into 8 parts following the main characters journey. Usually the parts consisted are named as follows; You, Need, Go, Search, Find, Take, Return, Change.


My story circle consist of the following:

You- Caleb is a normal teen living an everyday life school, games, walks, and sleeping.

Need- Caleb feels stuck and bored- the walks are his escape..

Go- During one of his walks, his music cuts out. He sees a figure and it attacks, he wakes up, it was a dream.

Search-  Even though he felt it was a dream, creepy, things are happening around the house. He's trying to find the cause.

Find- After many interactions with the figure he finds it only attacks when he's still or unaware.

Take- Caleb tries to confront it/escape, but doing it aggravates it.

Return- Caleb is cornered in the place he feels safe where the lights cut out.

Change- Caleb realizes the monster isn't stalking him, its replacing him. He becomes one with the figure

I designed Caleb's story using the theme of control and fear. When I think of what used to scare me the most, it was darkness. When creating this figure I wanted its main purpose to be to be scary when not knowing. I wanted a bad ending so i had the monster consume the main character and help him hurt others .

Sound Art Project

 In this project me and a group of 3 were tasked to chose from a list of prompts and create an environment around the prompt. We were to have atleast 4 foley sounds in this environment a the rest of the sounds were to be taken from a copyright free sound effects website. The scene: A dark night in the woods, walking with only a lantern as the light source, you hear echoing all throughout the forest and the sounds of dogs barking, the sound of leafs and branches crack under your feet. Foley Sounds: Stepping in grass, this effect was very easy to create as we had daniel walk in the grass for about 15 seconds. Breaking branches, this effect was also easy as we had to find a big pile of branches and step on them. Stepping on rocks, same as the others in difficulty as it isn’t very hard to find rocks near us. Dogs barking, this effect took the most work as one of us had to go outside at night time to pretend to be a stranger which eventually made the dogs barking loudly. Lantern moving,...

      EDITING TECHNIQUES ASSIGNMENT       In this assignment me and my partner were tasked to create 8 scenes all representing a different editing technique. Each scene had to have a title card with the editing term, the title of the scene, and the scene that we put together. Sound had to be included in each scene and each scene had to be edited. The first technique we used was the shot reverse shot, the prompt we did was 2 people arguing. During the filming process my partner filmed me and my other friend pretending to argue. The second technique we did was a jump cut and the prompt we did was working overtime. my partner filmed himself at the day time going to his computer and working, it cuts to him later at nights tired like he’s been working all day. The third technique we used was cross cutting where it was me on the phone trying to call someone, the camera then cross cuts to someone phone ringing and then picking it up. The fourth technique we used i...

Collage

  The assignment that I was given for this Collage was to take 11 different pictures all with different camera shots. The process I went through for this assignment was first, finding an object to take the different shots with. I originally planned on using my dog but then realized it would be hard to keep them still so I chose one of my sisters plush parrots. My experience creating the shots wasn't very difficult as I had my dad help me because he's a videographer for reality TV so he knows all of the shots. He helped guide me where to put my camera and the different angles making it very easy to complete this assignment. By: Nico Alves
