Interactive Book -House of Danger by R.A.Montgomery

An interactive book gives the reader a unique way to feel involved with the anecdote.In this case the book we review had 20 different ending which makes it an enjoyable book and gives un endless possibilities for how the story unfolds.

The House of Danger is set with a detective who receives a phone call from an anonymous person who we soon discover is Henry Marsden,is in danger.However when choosing certain options we find the man is a ghost and the house (prison) is haunted with holograms of gorillas to keep people away from said house.

Our first option we chose was to either go straight away to the address given over the phone call or we could wait for our friend. We chose wait for friends as one,we were told it would be their first and also we thought having back-up would be the best option.However i think that the Author decided that this is the option they wanted us to pick as it seems more reasonable,furthermore if we chose to go solo then it may have been a dangerous mission especially going into the unknown and we were also told that the 'but you known it might be dangerous to start off alone' this supports the idea that the author wanted use to go with our friends as they mention how dangerous it could be.This is psychologically  making us decide to wait for our friends as we,ourselves would want to go with friends and the author indirectly leads us to go that way.



Another example of an interactive media is an app called Choices.You are given a series of different stories from fantasy,romance and contemporary.Each story you create your own character and then you are given a series of choices to influence the story and how the story will end.This can be from wearing a specific type of clothing or reacting a certain way to an outcome.
This interactive game has endless possibilities however because we as the audience are picking the story we aren't fully learning about the characters development.Not all are superficial but most do have similar outcomes with each option.

I believe that there is enough choices to have a complete narrative which makes sense with equilibriums and disequilibriums. Both depend on your choices but they do allow the anecdote to unfold before you have to pick another direction.

Audience

An audience is a Group of Mass or Niche people who consume any media text such as Radio and music listeners,television viewers and web traffic on websites. An audience is important as they are the viewers and the clients of the media text and they can give the money to break-even and create profit.New technology now makes it easier for people to access the media they want and when they want,this increase in technology also means less people buy physical copies of films or the news as they can easily access it from the smartphones or smart Tv. there are two main types of audiences the mass audience and niche audience.The mass audience are a large group of people all attracted to the same thing for a large variety of reasons whereas a niche audience is based around specific attractions to the media text such as a a specific genre like gardening or cricket.

Film Genre

The Hunted film that we are going to be producing is going to be a Horror film.Other films that have the same genre as ours is IT,The Ring,and Happy Death Day. Horror films all have many similarities to create the scary,and tense emotions to appeal to the audience watching.If it isn't scary then it won't be popular. In a horror film you always have a protagonist.In IT this is the clown,Pennywise,he is a murderer which is also very similar to our interactive film as we are going to be having a murderer as the protagonist,however instead of them being a clown we are having them as unknown as the film will be in first person from the murderers point of view. As well as a protagonist we also have the antagonist,they're not the hero in the film as they don't survive,which is controversial because most protagonist is the hero and they mostly always survive. It's also very different because there are three main characters all with their own separate story linking i...

Foley's Sound Editing Review

Today we were given the task to edit our Foley's sound recordings, that we filmed a couple of weeks ago, into the muted shower scene from Pyscho. We had used a Cue sheet when recording to know which sounds were to be made and with what objects out of the ones given. This was so we could keep track on what was recorded and what wasn’t. The cue sheet made the task a lot easier as we made a list before starting to record so we knew what sounds we were going to recreate and with what objects. Foley’s sound is the recreation of everyday sounds that you would usually hear in a film. These can range from something simple like footsteps to something much bigger such as a thunderstorm. Foley’s sound is most commonly used to enhance the audio in a video; also, if the audio doesn’t come out well it is most often used then. Hollywood is well-known in using Foley’s sound a lot whilst creating their audio especially waves and the crashing sea. When we used Foley sounds we recreated doors ...
