WEEK 5 - Revealing and Concealing Strategy

I want the person exploring the island to be totally engulfed in the experience and to be unaware of the subtle messages that are surrounding him/her. The letter/number combinations become increasingly larger in size and more sophisticated/ abstract in construction as the viewer approaches the centre of the island (glowing tree).

The combinations will be revealed in a series of cameras that catch a certain angle which reveals the letter or number. Combinations that can be seen from ground level will either be concealed by fog or trees until an opening arises.  Additionally, the combinations seen from ground level are so subtle or abstract that the explorer won’t realise the messages being presented.

The letter/number combinations will be concealed through perspective angles, camera flare editing, layer painting, vegetation shaping, entity multiplying and noise related circumstances.  All of the concealing strategies shape an unusual and versatile range of hints for the explorer to experience.  Due to the complexity of the island, most letter and number combinations will become obvious once the viewer steps into the game.
