Mode Statement

The documentary mode I am using to create my machinima documentary is the 'observational mode'. This is where the user, me for example, is able to witness the actions of other characters to show the idea behind the machinima. Using this type of mode ensures I am able to see first hand the scene (environment) and what happens to it during the explosion.

Through my documentary I am able to view the explosion from different vantage points which allows me to evaluate the maximum/minimum destruction. The benefit of utilizing the observational documentary mode is that I will be able to experiment the effects of porosity and explosions.

The Physical Effects of Explosions on Porosity

Week Three- Independant Study

Interactive Opportunities of my environment incorporate the time of day and rain. Time of day constantly changes over time allowing me to observe the lighting and shadow effects this creates. The rain becomes constant and provides a sense of life-like opportunities. I have continued the sense of interaction between man and his environment.

Effects of Explosions

Hypothesis:

An explosion on my 3D field, will cause a rapid increase in volume and release of energy in an extreme manner, with the generation of high temperatures and the release of gases. The explosion will create a shock wave. The blast will also cause debre to be shot into the air and thus scattered around the area. Therefore the explosion will have a mast impact on objects surrounding its radius.

However, this is not all true, as explosions can also have a minimal impact.


Filmed Explosions:

Using the eplosive barrels, I assumed this would cause the greatest impact and carnage, however as you can see, out of the three explosions, this one had the least amount of destruction. Placing the houses next to each other I would have expected both houses to be damaged, however only the one house had minor damage.

Using the ramp, I was able to gain a good view and advantage point to access the damage caused by these grenades. This was clearly the greatest amount of damage out of the three explosions. The house shattered into many pieces and can be seen clearly from the platform. I thought this explosion would have the least amount of damage, as it is a small grenade, however I was quite wrong.

This explosion used C4 which I placed and then had the power to detonate when I chose to. This explosion had a reasonable amount of destruction as I thought it would. Placing the vehicles near each other, I was able to conclude that due to the eplosion, the vehicle was shot up into the air and was endangering the other vehicles and therefore caused a great deal of mayhem.

Week Two- The Ramp

The ramp and platform are made to incorporate the whole idea of interaction. All my ideas are based around this notion of involvment and interacting with the environment around you. Therefore I designed this ramp, which isn't over the top and getting to unrealistic heights. This creates the effect of involvment in the destruction making and feeling the affects first hand.

Week One- Independant Study

Environment In Progress



The development of my environment promotes this sense of interaction. I have decided to show the relationship between man and the surrounding environment. It creates a sense of involvment and gives me a first hand account of what is happening which allows me to gain a good understanding through my observations.
