With the piece that I’m going for there is actually two genres happening at the same time. These two genres being a TV Commercial, as well as a videogame cutscene.
The way in which I’m planning on adding both of these into a 60 second clip is interesting. My plan is to have the commercial be a video that plays within the cutscene and is a key part of it.
Lets start off with the TV Commercial. The commercial is going to consist of a telemarketing cooking show which seems to be making a rather weird dish. This is going to have multiple video distortions within the video with both the distortions happening to the kitchen and the individual themselves. This will try to consistently get across a feeling of stress and horror to the person witnessing this.
Secondly we’ll talk about the cutscene. This is where the commercial will be. You’ll start off by walking into this abandoned house after some sort of disaster on the world wiping your visor as you do. Once entering this house you’ll be greeted with an old box TV with one of its legs crooked and broken into the floor boards below. Once you move your light over the TV it sparks to life, starting off as static but quickly changing to the TV commercial. As the commercial plays out the player continues to move closer and closer to the TV eventually being physically dragged into the TV by something laying wait inside. Once again I’ll be trying to put across heavy horror vibes in an attempt to scare the player within this cutscene.
