So... about that conspiracy ey...

In Short - Just for myself to get up to speed in terms of where I am, what I'm doing etc.

Our project, In effect, is about doing our project :)

Currently of indeterminate length, we begin at University. The three of us are discussing our work, what we are doing etc.

We agree on something, and commence work. Something goes wrong.
We blame (something that goes wrong) on "The Troll".

So here is where I begin coming up with my ideas :)

001:
The Encrypted Keyboard Thing (complex way of saying mixed up words)
"Okay great lets do it!"
Everyone goes back to their computers to have keyboards which type the incorrect letters - sort of an alternate keyboard layout, except we don't realize. Within our own naivety (and own personal self proclaimed extreme competence with computers) don't notice that it is happening :)

Until we have to show what we've done. The computers have died. It was the troll. Something was changed which we didn't notice. For instance a wire on a close up of a keyboard being displaced or evidently unplugged or something. A strong visual cue to show to the viewer that things "are not right" but which we ourselves don't notice.

All work produced is in an encrypted mess which we can't decode. We've just wasted our time.

002:
The Power Failure
Again, another "brainstorming" session within the group. We go away to commmence work, when the power fails. Example of shots for this would be initial brainstorming, possibly with a little icon resembling power in the corner (symbology as to what could happen) (which will) :P

Next image would be ready to begin work on the computer, (again bright) then suddenly (while retaining the impression of work about to be done on the character, darkness ensuing.) Bitter disappointment then rage.

We however try to solve it by using a laptop. Laptop works for a short time, then battery fails.

Irony and much frustration and anger then ensues. No work is done.

003:
We're never gonna get this done guys...

So we decide to work "overtime". Coming into the University at some other time which isn't class time. Our swipe cards disallow us access to the room. We have lots and lots of ideas and.. no way to document them.

We waste time by not being able to get into the room at all.


004:
Youtube
Sorry Sarah, but I'm just going nuts with every possible reason thing :P

"I'll find us the reference" The thing that we can base our project on! "I'll look for it on You Tube its something something" "Search along the lines of {thing} We all go away and end up wasting time looking at random distracting things.

No Work is done.


005:
Steven.. away from the games!
"hey guys I have a brilliant idea, we can use this thing I saw in a game once" Defcon ensues. Thermonuclear War "erupts" outside and in true comic style we are Oblivious.

Everything returns to normal afterhand though, (suggestion that the nuclear bombs in the game were actually "real" bombs in the real world)


006:
The elevator portal

The elevator opens to find us in a city street, or a beach or a road somewhere. ... "The elevator doesn't usually do this" :\

We explore the "world" and end up having no work done.

This is all I'm posting for now, as I need to eat :\
