My idea for this assignment is to create a game about filmmaking. One in which one player assumes the role of cinematographer, and the rest are actors. My initial concept is for it to be a card based game. One set of cards would include types of shots and locations the cinematographer will use as guide for each scene. Another set of cards would be the role play, among these cards we’ll find story based moment meant to be acted. This set of cards would be divided in three probably so that there would be a clear begging, defined center plot and an ending. It would be interesting if different plot cards sets existed, that is, for example, a horror movie deck, a just-for-couples deck, a family oriented one, etc. The fun part would be in the team work, and at the end the result of an amateur film that will definitely make its own audience laugh. It would also be important to mention that the number of actors is yet to be determined, but it will probably have 4 actors limit, taking the lead role depends on the development of the game. A ver important part of making a film is the Storyboard, so this sets of cards will have an alternate mode of playing which consists in building a Storyboard, then shooting that, and last but not least, joining the clips together. The camera used would most likely be a smartphone or a tablet, apps such as iMovie make this process extremely easy, while making us practice the seventh art.
