The document describes key elements to consider when developing a murder mystery story and game. It discusses common character archetypes seen in stories like Star Wars and how they apply to an existing story. It also analyzes the story structure of Star Wars based on Joseph Campbell's hero's journey monomyth. Finally, it provides initial ideas for murder mystery stories and applies the story circle framework to further develop one of the ideas.

1. Adventure

2. Equilibrium
Disruption
Recognition
Attempt to repairthe damage
New Equilibrium

3. Character type How they appear in your story (existing product- Star Wars)
The Hero Luke Skywalker
Central hero/protagonist.Wanting to leavehis boring life and plannetbehind. He learns
that he has the force and joins the Rebalallianceto combat the empire.
The Villian Darth Vader/ Grand Moff Tarkin
Both villainsare in charge of the death star (the main objective of the film is ti destroy the
death star, which has the abilityto destroy plannets)
The Helper C-3PO, R2-D2, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Obi-Wan
The Donor N/A
The Dispatcher Princess Liea/ R2D2
Princess Liea is in trouble, so she records a message on R2D2 to deliver to Obi-Wan Kenobi
who will hopfullyhelp her. Once Obi-Wan gets the message he is 'dispatched' along with
Luke, the two droidsand Han Solo and Chewbaccaalong the way.
The Princess or prize Princess Liea
The heros to go to save princess Liea, Solo sees her reward for saving her as a prize, which
motivateshim.

4. Story Theory Applied to Existing Product
• At the beginning of the film there is already disruption, the rebel fleet is under attack by
Darth Vader's star destroyer in pursuit of the death star plans. If we want to strictly
follow the story circle and begin at a stage of equilibrium, we must look at Luke's
character.
• Life is normal for him, in the beginning. He is in a stage of equilibrium until he
discovers the new droids his uncle bought have a secret message for Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Luke must make the choice to stick with the droids and get the help of Kenobi or stay.
One thing leads to another, Luke's Aunt and Uncle have been killed by the Empire, this is
the point of no return, his life is disrupted.
• Luke and Obi-Wan know this, they have a plan. They have recognised the disruption and
are dealing with, getting a pilot to fly them out of Tatoonie.
• The attempt to repair the damage is when they're on the death star, trying to save
princess Liea.
• And the new equilibrium is when they go to Yavin 4, only for a while, they then must get
ready to destroy the death star.

10. Mind Map:
Story ideas/
Background info
Detective dark past
comes back to
terrorisehim
He used to be a hit-man but he had very strict
rules.
He would usually get hired by widows or men
seeking revenge. People who didn't want to get
blood on their hands. Clean blood.
The people the detective would kill were
murderers who got away. Thieves. Rapists. The
worst of the worst. Who got away.
The detective would NEVER kill an innocent man by
mistake. He killed those he deserved to be killed. He
was VERY strict with that. He would kill a man on hard
FACTS. Double, sometimes triple check a suspect
before he would kill them.
His clients are often in a lot of pain and
were desperate. The detective would record
the him killing the suspect, to hand over to
his clients as proof and satisfaction of true
justice.
However, on one of the detective's final cases of a hit-man,
something goes wrong withouthim knowing about it.
A desperateman hires him to find the man who raped and
murdered his wife. He suspects a man called Harry Bell did
it. The detective takes it fromthere. He finds a man, Harry
Bell. Doubled checks the facts. And kills him. Another job
done.
Only he killed the wrong man. He murdered an innocent
man. Harry Bell had a son who was very closeto him. 10
years old. He promised to find the man who murdered his
father, of coursethis would be an empty promisefroma
grieving 10-year-old. Untilthe man who hired the detective
(at the time hit-man) dies. The police went to take care of
him, and found the footageof the detective killing Harry
Bell, they contact to tell the family to tell them the
development.
Harry's son, Kevin gets re-inspired to perusehis father's
murder. He hires a privatedetective to help him. They
discover who it is and plot his revenge.

15. Existing Product – Saul Bass Posters
To fit my style of classic filmand film noir, I thought I could
possibly do a Saul Bass inspirited poster. I've always
admired his work, his poster designs are some of the best
in history, not to mention his iconic opening credits
sequences.
The conventions of a Saul Bass poster consist of one or
two main colours (for example The Shining is just one
colour, yellow). Bass boiled down the filmto a simple
idea, emotion or meaning. Unlike todays poster which try
and fit every character who appears in the movie into one
poster. Sure, some are memorable, but Bass created art.
Needless to say, Bass revolutionised the movie poster and opening
credit sequence game. Starting out he collaborated with Otto
Preminger and went onto to work with Billy Wilder, Alfred
Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, Steven Spielberg and Martin
Scorsese. Circling back to what I said earlier, Bass brought the film
down to a simple image. You'll notice no pictures of movie stars-
that’s boring. Bass combined different dynamic shapes together to
create a single piece of art that symbolises the film.
- Intricate shapes combinedto create a
single image
- Limited colourpalette, two or three
coloursat most
- Simplisticdesign
- Geometric blocks of solid colour
Main takeaways froma Saul Bass
poster – essential to his style:

but the magazine is less taiored towardsthe poster. Bt be

18. Existing Product - Choose Your Own Adventure Game
With my film idea being a crime/thriller/noir murder mystery, I feellike the best style of game that suits my film idea would be the so
called 'point and click adventuregame' or 'choose your own adventure'.
This style of game play mainly involves the player to choosea reply or decide as the character which will impact how the game's story
develops and ultimately, how it ends. So, there will be multiple differentendings. I think this will work well for a detective story; I could
work in some action scenes for the player for example a chase, to make to game moreengaging.
An example of a point and click adventure game would be Thimblewood Park. This is a great game
to draw inspirationfrom. Firstly, is pixel animated,it's a murder mystery story and it's a point and
click adventure.All three of those factors are what I'm doing as well.
The gameplayset up is from left to right and up and down, dependingon which characteryou
play as, you'll havedifferent accessories to aid you in the level.
The game has got a consistant colour scheme of different shades of dark blues, greens
and black. Adding to the atmosphere of myserty and intrigue, and how something is
going on in the town. There's been a murder, but no one seems to care. This lack of
empathy of the towns people is reflected in the gloomy, melocolic colour scheme. A
lot of the games adventure takes place around night time, it's always got this sunset
look to it.
Like I said the game is pixel animated, the characters are desgined human-like. No
body part is exaggered nor is it minimul. You’ve got a life-like character desgin but a
self-aware story and characters, the characters break the fourth wall many times. The
screen layout is side scrolling something I will implement into my game.

19. Existing Product - Soundtrack of Game (Thimbleweed Park)
Moving on, to talk about the soundtrack of the game.
The sound desgin itself is very ambient based. You spend a lot of time in the
game going from point A to pointB talkingto people. Naturally,you're
travelingoutisde. A convention ofa point and click adventure game is the
sound, it's more subtle. Popularyoutubevideo game reviewer ACG says
"...much of the sound in pointand click adventures is more subtle, listening
this almost strange pop and stop style of sound effect rhythm that occurs
within them, movement and action separated by large amountsof
environmental blanket..."
What I simply gathered from that, is the sounds emerse the player in the
game for example Red Dead Redemption 2 which is set in a massive open
world, primarley outiside. So of course, it's full of beautifulimerisve sounds
from birdstweeting, your boots rubbing on the desert soil or the wind
whistling through the trees. This is the same case for Thimbleweed.The
sounds are so distinct as well. In thimbleweed there is a prominent sound
of critckets where the body is found. Adding a novelty to the scene, making
it a more memorable experience for the player.

20. Research Summary
• What have you learned from your research?
I learned different ways to use colour to evoke an atmosphere, genre and to
help make the text stand out. The conventions of film noir posters and
characteristics of Saul Bass poster both styles think to my genre. The
conventions of magazine covers, how to make them appealing, bright and
bold. Different sound design for video games and the layout and
characteristics of a point and click adventure game.
• What aspects of the research will you include within your work?
A Saul Bass inspired noir poster. The layout and rich sound design of a point
and click adventure game. How to make a magazine cover bold and
interesting.

22. Pre-production and Planning

23. Style Sheet
I firstlooked at colour theory to help get some ideas for my stylesheet.
So, I wentonto a colour wheel and looked for complementing colours. I thoughtyellow would
be an interesting startas I wantmy poster and overallfilm/video game to evoke a classic noir
feel. My poster will look like it came out of the 50s.
The colour that best complemented yellow was a dark blue. It's a nice contrastwhich will
help the text and visuals stand out. However, the samecolour scheme was used for the
poster Out of Past. I wantmine to haveits own identity.
I also tried a tridactic styleof the colour wheel. Using yellow as the
main colour I got a light blue and a light purple. Thosetwo colours
do not match with my subjectmatter or genre. They'retoo bright
and light. I wanthard, dark, constating colours. To match the tone
of the film/game.
Potential FONT (Bernard MT Condensed)
Potential FONT (Perpetua titling)
Potential FONT (VERDANA PRO
COND BLACK)
My plan to use contrasting colours in the marketing (poster, magazine) is still on. I found the
yellow and blue too bright and similar to Out of Pastposter and having the backboneof Saul
Bass in my poster desgin, wherehe only uses two or three colours. I'vegravitated towards
orange, the constarting colour to orangeis blue. I would darken this blue. The poster should
still havea classic feel to the noir and Bass posters of the 50s, but also darker to represent
the themes in the product.

the detective.

44. Research
• Before I went into researching for the project I firstly needed to think of what the film idea would be and the video game
concept, then I could narrow down my research.
• My film idea was a murder mystery neo-noir. Already I wanted to evoke classic film noir throughthe marketing but in a stylish
and interestingway which is where Saul Bass enters the picture. I knew I wanted to also channel a bit of Saul Bass into the poster.
The film would be dark and gritty.This leads me onto the video concept which I decided it to be a point and click game (where
you play as a characterand choose what response they give another characterthat will propel the story forward, a different
ending depending on what you choose to say/do).
• I needed to research the characteristicsof Saul Bass style movie posters,noir film postersand magazine covers.And for the video
game the conventionsof a similar point and click game, that I was going for.
• The information I found out definitely helped me. I discovered the point and click video game 'Thimblweed Park' a murder
mystery as well, very similar to my idea. I learnt how that point and click video game operates by watchingplay-throughson
youtube, for example how the different options for a response show up, the way it the space operates (left to right and
something down and up). All this fed into my final project, justlittle things but they made it look that bit more professional.
• I identified the conventions of Saul Bass movie posters how he uses different shapes to create an image for example in an early
attemptat my movie poster I did a bit of an 'homage' to the iconic Anatomy of a Murder poster. It didn't go down very well, from
it not looking very good to not being thatoriginal.
• I also went onto explore consistencyacross the marketing of a film to the magazine art work, I compared the main movie poster
of Avengers Endgame to how the Empire Magazinecover was approachedthat helped me decide how I would design my
magazine cover and how linked it would be the main marketing.

45. Planning
• The development of the projectfromwhen I firstthought of the idea was refined through constantthinking on how I could make it engaging and
original (film idea) I knew I wanted the private investigator to be a bit of an anti-hero with a very dark past but he's not full unlikeable. (his dark past
being, he used to be a hitman would be be hired only be clients who seeked meaningful justice)
• Another thing would be, at first, I had the detective get paid anonymously with the money newspaper clippings of the crimes (the firstbody being
discovered high up in moorland). I decided to change it to, that the detective is paid anomlsly to go to the location where the firstbody is in the moors.
As I thought it didn't make sensea randomperson finding the body. Having the detective be the firstperson to find the bodyimmidently sets up
intrigudge in both the viewer and character. Why was hetold to come to the location? Was the body a coinsidnece? Additionly it adds to the
atmosphereof the film, very dark and moody.
• Itwas mainly down to trial and error. BeforeI would start'drawing'any pixel art image if that's to be animated or justa single image such as the demo
level. I would do a quick sketch before-hand justto see how it translated frommy head to paper. Once I begun 'drawing'I'd makechanges of things
didn't look good, even completely scrapping an entire image if it looked off.

46. Time Management
• For the mostpart I managed mytime well. I worked within college hours following a schedule and outlining
what I would do the in the next day. I completed the project on time, on scheduel. I would have prefered to
have spent more time on the animation rather than the posters. I spent more time on the poster than the
animation. I didn't realise how long the animation process would take. If I had more time, I would've
extended the animation probably combining all the pixel art assets into one animation featuring everything-
soundtrack, demo level, menu screen, cut scene.

47. Technical Qualities
Compared to professinaly animatedgames and films my animationlooks incredibley
amutur. It screams student film. I made an attempt at detailingit but againthe
professional thing is still more detailedthan I would ever get. Although my poster does
look iffy here and there, I'm still happy with it and can see a poster of that desgina and
style being made professinally.
In terms of audio,I would've liked to have used foley however the two sounds I needed
were hard wind blowng and flies buzzing. Both sounds I don't havegreat acess to,
especicallyflies buzzing! The wind blowing, I could've recoreded myself, but you'll
probablyjust get bad sounding audio,not fluent wind.

48. Challenges I faced
Creating movie poster through Gimp. Unfortunately, I had to complete the productionaspect of the project
from home due to the national lockdown andI don't havethe top software such as photoshopon my laptop.
I had to use a free software called Gimp and I did run into a few problems since I wasn't familiarwith the
software. An example would be I wantedto stretch my text out the word "hollow"there was no direct way
you could do it, that I could find. So, I playedaround with a few features that I thought might do the trick. I
stumbled upon the 'perspective tool' which allowed me to stretch the text like an image, this was at the
expensive of making the text larger. I was resourceful during that brief dilemma.

49. Aesthetic Qualities
I was very pleased with the colour paletteand overallaesthetic I went with for the game and film advertiment.The
game having light purple and dark blues, greens and browns. And the marketing with mainlyorange and dark blue
those two colourscorralte on the colourwheel. I very delibartlystook with being consistant,making the different
assests feel more professional. Advertising for film, you need to use the same coloursso people will recongise the
film from the coloursand font.

50. Aural Qualities
I like how my soundtrack sounds, it’sa shame I didn't have an opportunityto use it in any of the materialshowever, I
though the soundsof hard wind blowing was atmospheric and creepy linkingto the same sound we hear when they
discover the body this making the playerhave different experiences with that sound.
The cut scene had lots of soundsin (ambince of wind blowling,flies swarming and V.O of characters). It could sound maybe
too crowded and less refinded? Maybe makes the wind sound more faint? The flies is a big thing for hearing a rotting
courpse rather than seeing it and the reaction the charactershave.

51. Audience Appeal
The target audiencewas always a bit fo grey zone as if the film were to be made professionallyit would be rated an 15 - 18 and
the runtime would close to 3 hours so these aspects would put a lot of people off, especiallyteenagers who seem to be one of
the biggest target audiences for video games. So the video would be directly linked to the film however, it would have of an
action edge to entice a teenage audience, likley to be the biggest audience for making lots of money off the game.
In the elements I created for the game have lack of any action, I made a cut scene and demo level from a pivotalscene where
they discover the dead body however, the game itself would be marketed as an 'action' game with clear specification thatsits
also a point and click game which should get classic game geeks excited since there isn't too many of them made.

52. Overall strengths and weaknesses of the final
package.
I was quite happy with the final product. I thought my movie poster and marketing materialswere quite good, definitelythe
aspect of the project I enjoyed most. The pixel art was fine, I liked adding the detailand texture to the image. I completed
everything on the list to a good standard,I feel. Tried my hardest to make it look as professional as possible, where I could. I
found the most successful aspect of the project would be the films poster side of things. I thought the animationcould've
gone better, it was mainly down to time management, lack of better software and general skill of the task. I didn't expect the
animationto take as long as it did and mine is relativelyshort.
