Week 5

Write a paragraph describing your strategy for the concealing and the revealing of your letter / number combination, to be embedded into your island.

My strategy for concealing and revealing my letter (N) and number (5) combination is to have a mixture of some numbers and letters being very obvious to the point where it is impossible to miss but others will be more subtle and hidden. My reason for doing this is I wanted to explore the different techniques of revealing my letter and number ranging from macro to micro. I want some of my letters and numbers to be created using the natural form of the island, for example, shadows, rock formations. This will really push how creative I can be and after some experimentation it is quite difficult to achieve letters/ numbers made out of shadows, I will have to further experiment and explore what I can use in CryEngine. Some other letters and numbers will be used out of man- made objects, for example, 5 crates and the letter N made out of planks of wood.

Complete a full draft of the outcomes required for EXP1. See the OUTPUTS section of the EXP1 brief for what is required; a full draft includes all of those outputs. While each of the outputs might not be finished they do need to present a clear indication of the strengths and opportunities of the scheme.


Reflection on lecture
 This lecture was on the subliminal and we were shown a lot of examples of subliminal messages in commericals, movies, posters, tv shows etc. This gave me inspiration on how to reveal and conceal my letter and number in my island. I found the symbols within logos very interesting and it was one of the things in the lecture that stood out to me the most, for example, I never noticed there was an arrow in the FedEx logo. These examples in the lecture will help me to further come up with ways to reveal and conceal my letter and number.
