Animated Narratives Week 4

This is the scene at the beginning of an interactive game. It describes the user's perception and operation at the beginning of the game. Through the description of the environment, background sound effects, and time, the user will understand that he will be a human male in the game. The content of the story will revolve around lies and reality, and the protagonist will find the truth of the clues he has obtained through exploration. The related work is called “The train to hell” (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%E3%81%A4%E3%81%90%E3%81%AE%E3%81%B2%E3%80%9C%E5%B9%BD%E9%97%87%E3%81%AE%E4%B8%A6%E8%91%AC%E9%9B%BB%E8%BB%8A)/

This is a horror game that finally tells a whole story as the player explores the storyline. I also want to tell the story in this way, allowing players to find the ending in the exploration.

“Lies don't want to be forgotten by time” – Jingyi Zhang 

Continuing the story of the little mermaid, combined with the content of this sentence, I will extend bullet points, thumbnails, and mini SB.

Bullet points:

A lie that has not been punctured is not a lie (from the lier perspective).

As time goes by, the lies that have been told will most likely be forgotten. (It’s hard to remember things you haven’t done)

The liar must use other lies to make up for this lie.

The little mermaid lied to the prince that she is human, so she need to hide her whole life that once she walks her feet hurt.

When the prince asked if the little mermaid had seen her at the beach before, she needed to lie to hide "she is a human” lie.

Scene 1

Screen monologue: "If I am a human girl, would you love me?"

The subtitles fade away, the sound of the sea appears, and the first-person view camera slowly walks on the beach focus on the reefs on the sea (you). At the seaside in the evening, there is a gleaming sea in front of the moonlight, to look down is a pair of human legs and a sandy beach underneath. Control the character to move forward, the closer you get to the reef on the sea, the more clearly you can hear the beautiful woman’s singing. As you got closer, the figure on the reef become clearer, and can notice the singing is came from her. "Is that a mermaid?" The voice came from you. The singing stopped abruptly, and the girl on the reef turned her head in horror. The moment she looked at you, you saw the girl with tears in her eyes. Just as you were about to step forward, the girl jumped into the sea and disappeared into the gleaming sea.
