Project 7: Script

Had a meeting with the teachers about time slots and safety hazards. The time slot given to us is just after lunch which will provide us time to set up beforehand. It is also a good time for the actors who will hopefully be are more likely to be available then. The safety is not that much of an issue for our group but it is still something we consider important. I have outlined a few possible hazards and will include them and how we deal to them in the script. The forecast is to be considered not only a hazard but also could alter our experience. We decided that no matter how bad the weather is we will still go out, provided there is raincoats and umbrellas. Also depending on how reliable the actors are, we may have to fill in some of the characters with team members. That is why I said it is vital for everyone to read over the script and understand all roles as soon as it is finished.

Weather forecast for Wednesday. Looks like a few showers.

I was able to research a few other scripts before starting our one. One thing I got from a lot of these scripts were how they are not too formal in writing style and as long as the person reading can understand what is happening and what each person is feeling then it will be easy for the actors to follow. A decision I have made after writing some of the script is to integrate a tester access key for the player to be identified as a tester, they will get the chance to receive the access key via email before the experience. This is to help with how the player got to where they start in the experience and already have motive to start moving.
