I did these sketches of the environment to get a kind of idea to visualize on paper what it should look like, this is the auditorium and the entrance to the cell where julius stays. I wanted to have an eerie scene to get an intimidating
This sketch was the inside of the cell I wanted to get a very grimey look, I wanted it to be very shady and gloomy.
I also did various character designs and just tried creating various looks for both characters. for deano I gave him so features that made him looked older and more wise, as well as some looks to make him slightly intimidating such as the scar, I added Notes on both character note sheets.
For Julius I just played around some more with the features, I tried to get a more of a younger look to show immaturity in his character, I gave him a depressed look too, to show himself drained from the isolation, although he seems starved in the illustration I've done.
I had a slight problem getting my friend to come in to do the voice overs so I decided that I would get rid of one character, so I could make things flow a lot smoother. So I decided I would turn to newsground to look for voice actors. I had some brilliant feed back there were various voice actors that sent back there voice overs.
as I had to take the character out it also meant that I had to change the script, I decided I would the one voice into a trailer-esq voice.
"you know...they say that enemies will be enemies...but friends they can change...but you know what...we will still fight for our honor...our pride...our country...it's how we were raised...we were born to win...they say a soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon...but to us it's more than that...we're fighting for our home...'
It took me quite some time to come up with this, but I got wind that there was new 300 movie in the works this made me go watch the 1st installment again and it gave me some inspiration, the scene that gave me the most inspiration was the one below it just should leonids's soldiers dedication to what they do which resonated with me the most!
I also Decided to take one of Napolean Bonparte's quotes to implement because he is also an inspiration to me and seemed that it fit with the story.
My research has been progressing at a steady rate I've been looking into media reports, such as the manhunt ban back in 2003-2004 and the newtown shooting earlier this year, as well as this I've been looking at many research papers and searching got MRI scans to show the studies of the brain and how violent video games effect the brain.
I have learnt a lot, many people do think that violent video games is reason for the aggression seen in young adults however i've found that it is a component to lead it to aggression and there has to be other aspects that needs to contribute for the person to turn to aggression. Although violent video games don't create agression it does desensitize the individual to violence in the real world.
