Within the piece that I am creating I will of course be considering the navigation of the user around the scene within my work. I will be making sure that any possible disorientation that the user could experience will be reduced within my piece. To do this I will be first having the distinction between scenes and resetting the placement in the scene of the user be done with fade in / outs. I will be making sure that in the transitions between my 4 scenes there will be fade to black or white transitions between them to reduce any disorientation between the changing environment and the large distance the user would be transported back to the beginning. The scene fading to either black or white will have meaning within my storyline too to make it more of an integrated part of my piece, black being the wrong path being taken through the scene and white being the transition to wonderland and the correct final choice being made. Within the piece I also will be having the user be walked through the scenes. The distance won’t be very far just from one end to the other in a path and will be at a relatively slow pace spanning 30 seconds each time. Not only is a slow pace good for allowing the user to look around the world that I have created but it is integral to helping to reduce any motion sickness the user could experience and allows the piece to have smooth motions and visuals throughout.
For the audio within my piece, I will be considering carefully what I want to do with this element as it can be a really important aspect of an immersive experience. I want anything I incorporate to add to the atmosphere of my piece, this being slightly eerie and creepy yet overall quite wonderful. I will be making use of audio libraries to find some free use content to incorporate into my piece. I want to mainly add just music to my creation as I think the strange silence and absence of expected sounds such as walking or environmental sounds will add to the atmosphere that I want to create. I want to find a piece of music which will start at the beginning of scene 2 once Wonderland is entered. I think that having no sound within the first 30 seconds through the first scene in the normal world will be really strange and almost creepy and add the desired effect to my piece. I will then start the music as some quite background music within the scenes after this to add to the mysterious Wonderland vibes of the world around the user. I will be adding this audio to the piece when creating my video in Premiere Pro and making use of fade in/ fade out transitions to match these transitions present in the visuals and add smooth change between the elements in the scene.
