Background
The techniques of storytelling have evolved over thousands of years. While they may differ slightly in different
cultures, humanity has used them in literature and theatre since ancient times. In our field of Immersive Design, we
benefit greatly from understanding these traditional techniques. A challenge (and opportunity) that we have is
integrating these traditional techniques with the new tools we have at our disposal.
Assessment Description
You are asked to demonstrate your understanding of traditional western story structures and the successful use
of immersive design to convey a linear story. Use immersive design elements to portray:
1. Exposition
2. Complication/rise/tension building
3. Climax and resolution/denouement.
Start with a very small foundation story (8-12 sentences) that uses the story structures discussed in class. This
may be a re-mixed version of pre-existing content or an original creation. You can then use this as a basis for an
digital walkthrough in which you use immersive design elements to convey each part of your story.
Digital Walkthrough in this context is a very low fidelity prototype that conveys your story with enough detail to
give a viewer a coherent understanding of your story design. A viewer should be able to independently interact with
your walkthrough and clearly see your design intentions to convey each part of your story. However, the prototype
does not necessarily need to be fully functional.
You must also include a short design report specifying and explaining your design choices. Did you encounter any
difficulties during the process? What was your solution? You are required to support your design choices with
class materials and/or articles.
