Questioning Shax scene

This scene was made following the same principles as the rest of the Questions. This included clicking the character, moving to bio, then the video of the alibi, then actual set of Questions. The colour for shax was red. The video is slightly choppy because the Mini DV recoreder in one of the labs chewed up the tape.

Computer password scene

This is a scene I was assigned to create. It involves the user memorising a colour code and inputting it into the computer to gain access to a surveillance camera. I had to first collect images off a computer and make the buttons in photoshop. The flv wave videos were downloaded from a royalty free site and inputted into the right frames. Then i did research online and founf a simple code that worked very well with what i had planned. Once the user gains access, the last part is just a matter of watching a video, reading some text and clicking an image to move onto the next scene. The image has a rollover text effect applied to it.

Flash: Security guard conversation.

The detective will see the security guard after he has seen his wife; it will be up to the user to click on the security guard in the scene below to initiate the conversation and find out what he knows.

The security guard will be animated to and extent, the image of him will change often between different expressions, to give the illusion of movement. The conversational text is animated word by word and will be displayed slowly below him in different colours to represent who is talking. green wioll represent the Security guard talking.

Credits & Creators Backgrounds

After creating the 'Credits' scene and the 'Creators' scene I thought they looked a bit too plain and boring therefore I decided to make a few backgrounds for them.

After playing/experimenting on Photoshop I liked the above idea and decided to stick by that idea. But because I lost that original copy I had to remake one which didn't turn out as good (as seen on the 'Creators' scene.

The above shows the 'Credits' scene and with the background on.

The above shows the 'Creators' scene and with the similiar background on. As you can on the above printscreen shot that the images of the people are much bigger than the ones in the 'Credits' scene. I tried my best to make them look as similiar to one another as each other but due to experimenting around I didn't actually remember what types of brushes I used, etc.

Compiling The Flash File #2

Ben had done some more of his Flash work therefore I added it onto the Final Flash file. He'd created the scene where the Detective walks out of his office and to the Museum scenes.

He'd also done the part where the Security Guard tells the 'user' the password.

Choose Suspect Scene Update

There is already a screenshot of the 'Choose Suspect' scene shown above but the characters were still in colour instead of Black & White therefore the above is an updated version.

I also got told to add in the 'Walking' videos we had already filmed before for each character and I found that when adding each characters 'walking' video it took up quite a lot of keyframes the timeline but since I didn't know any other way to change this I left it as it was.

Ben wrote up the script for each character so that once the video ended there'd be a little "story" as to what happens after and whether the person playing the game has chosen the right "murderer" or not. At first when inputting the text, it came up all at once and seemed rather boring therefore I made it so the text 'typed' onto the screen instead, which did take up quite alot of time but the end result looked so much better than it did before.

After the person has read the little 'What happens next?' "story" we put in a video of Ben in before making the credits come out.

Starting To Compile The Flash Together

Since we had already created the 'Intro' scene and the 'Menu' scene we decided to start putting the Flash together into one Flash file. We chose to place everyone's Flash files into Ben's Flash file since he had the 'Intro' scene on his file and it'd be easier to move everyone's scenes into his.

Since Sharon had completed one of her 'Interview' scenes we decided to put that into the final Flash scene as well since we were placing everyone elses Flash files into separate scenes as that'd be easier and would make the timeline less messy and not as long since we had quite a few video's to put into the Flash application.
