I was tasked with typing up my lighting pitch and turning it into a official project proposal that can be used to assign tutors and keep my self on track throughout this semester.

Below is the first revision of my proposal:

What is the intended idea/concept of the project?

The brief premise of this project is to create a virtual space that represents the sci-fi genre linking to the models made last semester. I plan to create a sci-fi cyberpunk office / operating base for the protagonist who would use the models from media project one to carry out missions. The narrative of this project features a protagonist who is searching around said apartment as he is trying to piece his life together after suffering amnesia. As he interacts with items around the room various aspects of his past is discovered. I would also like to optimise this virtual space for VR to further increase involvement.

Describe the intended audience:

I am targeting industry professionals. This is because the potential outcome of this project can be used to reinforce my professional portfolio, which could lead to important work possibilities. 

My intended audience is video game enthusiasts and industry professionals. This is because the projects intended purpose is to promote and build a character biography for a sci-fi cyber punk video game.

My other audience is Industry professionals as I plan on adding this to my portfolio to further increase my potential for work placements.

How will this project extend your creative and technical skills?

This project will test my skills in 3D modelling skills, as I will be tasked with creating models on a much larger scale than I have been used to. In addition to this I will be learning how to use unreal engine to create a virtual space that players can interact with. I feel that learning these skills is the next step to continuing on from last semesters project.

Outline how the practical work will be carried out and the time-scales involved for each task. (If working in a group, please also indicate the division of labour):

Work will be carried out as an individual and the timescales for this project will be in a staged process. The first phase is research and prototype development. Once this has been carried out and a basic concept has been developed. I will move on to modelling and constructing the virtual space. This phase will take the longest as modelling and texturing all the individual assets will take a while.

What other work (by animators, designers, film-makers, writers, digital media producers, etc.) is relevant to your project? (This work may either be relevant for its conceptual, inspirational or technical similarity):

• Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Demo (Video Game)
• Total Recall (Film)
• Deus Ex (video game series)
• Design influence:
• Cyber-punk
• Sci-fi future
•  

List at least two critical texts that are relevant to your conceptual intentions:

• Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? – Novel by Philip K. Dick
• Blade runner – Ridley Scott
