Unlocking the Mystery of Cloud Chamber - An Interview With Christian Fonnesbech

Unlocking the Mystery of Cloud Chamber - An Interview With Christian Fonnesbech | Machinimania | Scoop.it

Via The Digital Rocking Chair
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Cloud Chamber is an online mystery, a next generation altered reality game. We’ve done three of them before, and they were all campaigns, however Cloud Chamber is permanent and you explore it in your own time. The basic idea is that once you’re in the website, it’s kind of like a 3-D. It is an immense database for fictional film clips, confidential files, and Wikileaks documentary fragments, which you’re piecing together. The story revolves around three young people, one is a young astrophysicist, Kathleen, who betrays her father and risks insanity in order to explore what might be a signal from another world. You, the player, are exploring found footage left behind by the characters; their documents, films, emails, scientific journals while at the same time you are discovering what happened to them.

Some people need badass lines written for them. Others just have them come naturally.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Some people go down in history specifically because they didn't have that problem -- they used their wits to slam entire armies, usually while lots of guns were pointed at parts of their body that shouldn't have guns pointed at them.

Their brash words long outlived them, and rightfully so.

Seven steps to the perfect story is a great visual representation of how to build a story. This clearly explains the process of how students can construct their narrative and the types of characters they will use. I would definitely use this in my classroom to help students understand the process of creating a narrative.
