Project 2, Storyboard Concepts

In my first project I found that the aspects of what looked best in my designs were things I discovered unintentionally. So for all of my concepts, my approach is not to necessarily produce exactly what I have drawn as an end product, but to use them as guides and discover other cool effects along the way.   

For my first concept I thought about the idea of a waterfall which lead me to think about the sounds, not of waterfalls in particular, but of the sounds of nature because I believe they are the most beautiful. Therefore my goals for this concept would be to create a representation of beauty in nature through an interactive sound sketch. 

Concept 2 is mainly formed around compositions of sound through a means of customizing different aspects of sound and playing them together as a piece. My goal for this sketch is to create a very simple 'tool' or 'program' were the viewer can make their own compositions.

This concept is based on the idea of limited control and random effects. My goals are to create interesting sound combinations with only some control by the viewer, playing on the idea of incidental brilliance. Also by having the option of being able to change the colour scheme, the viewer is able to make better connections with the visuals and sounds, because some people tend to see and hear things differently to others.   

This final concept came from the idea of lights emerging from darkness. My goals are to take the different ways of interaction to create interesting visuals and sound effects through the use of lights as well as toying with some ways of how instruments are played (strumming).

At this stage I am quite drawn to my first concept as a means of carrying on with and developing into my final design, because I already have some ideas on how to start the code and also the idea of working with visuals and sounds of nature appeals to me a lot. However, at the interim for project one I planned on developing one of my concepts, though after the feedback I received I had changed my mind and went with another concept. So I am open to change after I here the feedback from the interim.
