1 - Fantasy like environment e.g Narnia
2 - Set in a snow globe or fish bowl environment
3 - Sydney's Circular Quay being engulfed by mutant sea creatures coming from the harbor ( with comical feeel added)
4 - Old gods awaken destroying half of the land and and the people are forced to create a new race to fight back by experimenting on themselves
By the end of it we chose #3 as it was alittle serious but with light-hearted humor to it.
We were given separate tasks to do and i was given the task to elaborate more on our world design storyline to make it be more believable.
Things that i looked at in detail was the BP accident , movies that revolved around an impending invasion attack usually of the alien kind.
Here is what i came up with:
In the year 2059, an experimental group called Bio Prospects (BP), aimed for the future development of mankind, worked along-side with the Australian Government and negotiated a deal to drill an oil hot spot off the coast of Sydney, as the oil is unique. BP discovered an unknown alien -like mineral within the oil. Its properties volatile and unpredictable, BP have been working on the unknown mineral in unlocking its potential and secrets; however, these files are highly classified.
BP’s oil became the new black gold because of its potency and high concentration levels - companies only needed a fraction of it compared to standard oil usage before.
Afterwards BP and the NSW government became the major global economic powers. Their new-found powers gave way to greed which showed a darker and sinister side to them. As a result of ‘cutting corners’, disaster struck BP’s oil refinery core pipe-line erupted, resulting in a catastrophic oil spill.
Sydney’s harbor was the worst affected area.The unknown mineral from the oil greatly affected the marine life, strange events took place.
Sightings of mutated sea life became apparent, creatures that were once placid showed signs aggressive behavior and an appetite for human flesh, even showing signs of alien-like intelligence. As a result deep sea creatures affected by the oil’s mineral have mutated and evolved rapidly at an alarming rate.
Overwhelmed by their thirst/hunger the deep sea creatures have gathered in force at ground zero’s, Sydney’s harbor area…….to begin the invasion.
Factions:
Humans that survive the sea creatures attacks/bites will turn and mutate and become one of them , stay well away from them. If you see one of them, RUN.
Bio Prospects, NSW government - who want the situation contained no matter what the cost and to get back their oil refinery up and running again.
Military – have sealed off Sydney’s harbor to keep the invasion contained, trapping the people who live in area in.
Sea/Land like creatures – Aggressive, highly intelligent and evolved, appetite for human flesh if scratched/bitten humans will mutate and become one of them instead.
Victims – tourists, residents who live in the area, humans infected by the sea/land-like creatures.
Scientists – want to study these creatures and want to resolve the situation in a peaceful manner.
Sea/land like creatures who have overcome their hunger –feel sorry for trapped people and want to help them.
Images that i found that helped me create the storyline a bit:
BP spills, other areas and its effects afterwards
Logos and BP Ceos were very central and the main culprit in our to storyline so people could immediately recognize.
