A new brief has reared it's ugly head.The Brief
Choose a well-known fairy or folk story as the starting point for conceiving an interactive narrative, which you will develop, script, design and produce. Your final story may wind up entirely different from the original tale, but in your story development plan, you must be able explain what were the origins of the idea and how this eveloved to the final story.
For example, the tale of Goldilocks could be used as a metaphor for a modern day story about a burglary whereby the perpetrator breaks in to a house. Three stages during the burglary are revealed through a combination of gameplay and interactive narrative choices such that the burglar either gets caught or escapes with his loot.
During the workshops you will be introduced to video and audio skills, xhtml, and also PHP scripting which will open the further possibility of building in choices and variables into your narrative flow.
The interactive elements should make use of a wide variety of media, and include in particular, the use of video and audio. Creative use of sound will be especially well received – for example live sound may be used within video clips, but sound an also be used independently (e.g. music, effects, atmospheres), and in fact may be a key factor in the narrative itself.
Develop an idea and an approach to your group solution and create a finished xhtml/php website which demonstrates your narrative idea.
this sounds interesting though, to retell a fairytale through an interactive medium, lots of possibilities im seeing. a list of fairytales:
