Creating storylines

Today we were asked to come up 3 to 5 story's of a scene with a start middle and end, that needed to be 5 to 3 minutes long. From knowing from the fact we are allowed to use any models we like and scenes, I came up with a couple of idea's all involving existing game characters. 

Story idea

Idea 1.

Beginning- Amy Rose is walking down a street minding her own business, when she notice what she thinks is her hero sonic, she runs over and hugs what she thinks is sonic, only to turns out to be metal sonic 

Middle - Metal sonic and Amy battle it out

End - Amy ends up smashing metal sonic. 

Idea 2. 

Beginning - Kunimitusu is sneaking around and being secret, she is trying to break in a building to steal a gem. 

Middle- she goes to take the gem but as she does security guards appeal

End- she takes out the guards and escapes with the gem

Idea 3. 

Beginning - Lara croft wakes up tired and weak, looks around trying to find survivors, she thinks she on her own on an island. 

Middle - she tries to keep herself alive and struggles. 

End - when she gets to the point of giving up, she turns around and finds an island of people and hotel. 

Idea 4. 

Beginning - Sonic is dancing on the dance floor trying to impress a girl. But is out danced by knuckles 

Middle - Sonic goes to the bar and gets depressed, sonic remembers he has an emerald and uses it to go super sonic 

End - Super Sonic out dances knuckles, and gets the girl.

Final ideas

After we finished thinking about our story ideas, we then got into groups and shared our story's with the group, from sharing the group voted two of the storys from the list of story idea's we had created.

The two story's that Everyone enjoyed was my Amy rose and metal sonic story (idea 1) and my Lara croft joke story (Idea 3). 

Everyone agreed when it comes to expanding the stories that were voted, it will require a phew changes within the story, this is something I will consider when I expand the two stories.

Title: Lara Crofts Vacation

Act 1

  • She looks around, she doesn't know where she is. 
  • She tries calling out to see if anyone is about, but no one is around, she is scared. 
  • She walks around in circles trying to think about what to do. 
Act 2 

  • She tries to survive by first making a fire but failing, but the fire doesn't start. She moves onto  hunting for food but fails to get any, she then tries to make shelter for herself, but the hut she tries to build is blown down.

  • She had thought this whole time she was on her own but she was actually near a hotel the whole time. 
  • She falls the floor in shame and anger after realising their was a hotel near by. 
  • End   
Outcome: Having already had lessons in creating a narrative, I feel the stories that I have created here would all be suitable to be made into an animation, granted some may need more what than other but the structure of the story's can still work in the way I want them to. I'm really looking forward to going onto story boarding one of my stories so that I can truly show how my story plays out.
