Task 3 Pitching an Audio Cut Sequence Production Idea

Script
0.       Ben -This is our audio cut sequence idea for a video game, our presentation explains the various ideas for sound and visuals we want to include in our cut sequence. We will explain the effects we want to use and why we think they are good.

1.       Cameron -The game is an open-world role playing game, where the player can move freely around the futuristic city of London completing main and side missions to protect the King from alien attacks.

2.       Cameron - The cut sequence was inspired by a cancelled game called Prey 2 which is set in the future; Assassin’s Creed and Infamous was used as inspiration for the climbing aspect and free-roam. Hitman was used as inspiration for hunting down targets. We think this adds many opportunities for interesting sound effects.

3.       Rowan - The character is similar to Cole the main character from Infamous. They have a variety of weapons and abilities which would have futuristic sound effects like lasers and the whoosh effect from a hover car. The main character’s accent will be an informal Cockney accent since he is from London but grew up fighting and running, he was never taught to be formal.

4.       Rowan - The cut sequence will take place mid-way through the game while the player is doing a mission, it will show the player using their bionic eye to stalk an alien target until they are noticed, then the chase begins and the main character tries to shoot the target and sprints after them through the streets . The characters climb and jump over vehicles and buildings. The chase results in vehicles exploding and police sirens can be heard shortly after.

5.       Ben - The sound effects that we will create or edit would be sound effects like footsteps, rain and puddles, futuristic weaponry, character voices, climbing, and others relating to the situation the takes place in. The sound effects would be as realistic as you could get for laser weapons and hover cars but the aim is to create believable sound effects to add to the depth of the cut sequence. Sounds that we could create/edit could be the various alien languages; the futuristic abilities (bionic eyes/cyborg arm), the different surfaces for climbing and the footsteps, certain buildings/flooring would sound different (hollow/dense).


6.       Ben - We will create the sound effects for our computer game cut sequence by using Reaper. We have the option to create some sound effects on our own using the Virtual instruments or we could take pre-existing effects from the internet or take our own and edit them in Reaper to our liking. We could create the ambient effects ourselves but going outside and creating the sounds like footsteps and wind or even the sirens of police/ambulance, we could edit these sound effects using the Virtual Effects in Reaper. We could have a mix of the two for quick and high quality work.

1.       Sound effects, relates to the sequence, realistic/believable, alien language, futuristic abilities, bionic eye, various surfaces.

2.       Use reaper, create sound/take sound, edit, VST, ambient, virtual effects, quick high quality work.
