PHOTOSHOP + FLASH WORK

PHOTOSHOP...

In Photoshop I started with two individual photos. I first edited the layer so it wasn’t locked. Then on the image of the house I deleted the sky and paste my thunder sky. After this I used the stamp I got rid of some fencing. I then superimposed some images of popular viral videos using layers. I set the overall size to the same as the stage of flash. I then imported it to the library of flash and aligned them to the stage. To superimpose a picture onto my image i used the quick selection tool and deleted the background. I then darkened it to make it look real.

FLASH...
I then needed buttons in order to make the flash animation. Keeping in with the theme I made a spooky sign with blood on it which I did slightly differently 3 times, using Photoshop and the brush tool.  I made the files a PNG so it would stay transparent. All the 3 were a smaller size than the original house so they could be used as buttons. The three different PNG files were so I had one for normal, one for when mouse is hovering and one for when clicked. To do this i selected my images and created a new symbol. i changed them into buttons and used blank key frames i made the buttons interactive. To make the button fuctional i made a new scene that would go onto the next section. To make this work i had to add an actionscript. In the window tab i selected the scene section. Then i checked the properties of the button and then changed the actionscript so that it was then set out to change to the next scene when clicked.  

Examples below...

These are two designs i am considering for my haunted setting.

Why I selected this brief...

I selected this brief as I am able to come up with many ideas to fit the criteria and target audience. The haunted house appeals to most in the category 13-15, both male and female. It should be very stereotypical and so as a fan of horror games such as ‘Left 4 Dead 2’ I seemed more equipped for this brief, this is also what interested me into this brief.

My ideas on storylines...

The player is found at an american style gas/diner. when he goes to pay he is told to go to the boss who is next door. the player ventures next door to pay his debt.
When walking towards the house music builds to create intensity. the door is already openedand the players hand opens the door and door creek

This is the style of zombies I would like on my haunted house as then it pushes the boundaries of the age category. Most games between the ages set at 12 and 15 feature red blood.
