(03/05/20) The video that can be seen below demonstrates the implementation of the final title of the film and how the opening and closing credits will be presented in the final film. Music by Rory Condor ‘Theme 1 + 2’ is also incorporated into the clip below and will provide the final score for the film although two other composers are still in contact in relation to the film so there might be different versions of the film with its own score. The opening/closing titles will be smaller and more consistent in changing its size and form. Change colour of font from orange (o% opacity) to red (100% opacity) ?;
Screenshots below expand on the settings applied for the VR Film Title Experimentation Clip seen above. Some of these settings (title transitions) will be replicated for the Final edit of ‘Refuge’;







The photos that can be seen below showcase the further development of the VR Film ‘Refuge’ with the final three acts being laid out as well as briefly disucussing an issue I’ve been having in relation to the topic of GPU data storage and my conclusions on that.

The word ‘Refuge’ felt suitable to the films narrative as a whole as the character in the film tries to seek refuge and tries to seek peace/natural control over the mental conflicts that briefly arise within the film. The viewer (player of oculus rift headset) will be in the position of the said character throughout my creative visual interpretation of a meditation/mindfulness session. Film might begin and end with a Gong sound (Eastern style music influence) to emphasise that the meditation/mindfulness influence that inspired the film. The other titles in comparison felt to vague or were too sombre for the film which in itself is not a sad film.

(06/05/20) Further photos of Sketchbook Pages containing notes expanding on the incorporation of recordings provided by the voice performers for the VR Film Refuge;
(08/05/20) Further notes written in the sketchbook can be seen below documenting the final edits I made on the VR Film before sending it off to Rory Conder who will compose the music for the film at the time this was written. The final five performers are also chosen for the film and can be heard in the embedded YouTube Link seen below the photos of the sketchbook pages;





WARNING: The Embedded YouTube Link below will have High Volume so its recommended to not wear headphones as the sound is not tweaked at a point of being safe to listen to at the time this is written. Rory will provide tweaks to the volume to compliment the music he’ll make for the film;
The Logos below that were used in my Interactive Film ‘Groundless’ which are used again for the VR Film ‘Refuge’ can be seen below with Harvard References. This added to provided continuity and consistency between the two films I put together during the second year of this course;

I informed the composer and chosen performers on them being incorporated in the film via email or through the StarNow site. This was also done for the composers and performers who provided feedback or auditions over the past week but were ultimately not chosen for the final film.

The Word Document that can be seen below contains the final message to the composers who I communicated to over the last few weeks to confirm they’re not a part of the final film (Although like the Voice Performers I greatly appreciated their input and enthusiasm for the film initially);
