cuts scens in games
good ones.
mass effect 2
the end cut scene is a good one. when you tell the oblosive man to stick it where the sun doesn't shine. and then it pans out to you looking in to space then, it pans to show the millions of reapers coming for you and your planets. because it one depenes and how you played the game. also it doesn't really leave anything unanswered in the game. it also leaves it open to the next game like you know whats coming for you.
just cause 2
the intro cut scene really sets the who game up really. it you and 2 other people in a helicopter flying in to a once friendly county, but its had a change in leader and he doesn't want anything to o with the USA. so they send in a spy to find out why and whats going on. but he's has gone dark and you have been sent in to find out why and complete his mission. but just then you come under attack from the government forces and one of the team mates is killed. and you then jump out like its just a normal day at the office and fly tho the sky after him.
fall out 3
the cut scenes in the holes of the game are write very well. but its the way it shows it to you, the cuts scene are more or less show to the player but the player can still looking around the room so, if the a key moment in the game and the player gets bored he can just look over the other side of the room the not pay attation to the cut scene it self. it would be better if it cut away form the game to show this other then just show it in the game.
mass effect 3
right the end cut scene in this game has to be the most confusing one i have ever seen in a game. first off it shows you all the possible ending to the game giving you the choice to choose for your self. but here is where it confuses me. after i choose the way i wanted to go it cuts to you shooting the pipes then shows a massive wave of power flowing across the galaxy destroying all the reapers in it path. then randomly shows joker flying tho space on the other side of the galaxy trying to out run the wave. even tho earlier it showed him at earth fight the war with you. so the end is he crashes on a unknown planet and then cuts to back. the thing that makes this so bad is the fact that all that hard work you put in over the 3 games is for that it doesnt show you how you better each person you crossed and how they turned out after the wave it just showed you something unrelated to the hole game.
the story
first part:
The
end of the world has happened and you are a twenty year old man looking
after your little sister. The main point of the first part is to show
you how to start your town, go out looking for surprise and build it up
e.g. walls, new houses, clean, water, food and weapons when the time
comes. Just as you get a good thing going in the town new people turn up
looking to settle with you. you hear of a rare item, which is a type
of terraforma, so you set out with two others that you choose to look
for this. but your little sister follows you. you been unaware of this
get to the base and find it but one problem. a sand storm starts up and
just as you find out your little sister is following you, you get split
up and fall down some rocks and black out.
the middle :
you
awake in your bed back in the town after your two friends carry you
back to safety. but as you start to get your memory back it hits you
that your little sister is out there still lost in the waste. so you
have to go out and track her down. starting at where you last saw her,
and then going through town and places doing bits and bobs to get some
quest to her where abouts, in this you will come across new people and
companies that can aid you in your quest. but at the same time rebuild
the town after the storm hit cursing damage. after chasing clue after
clue going some leading to dead ends you finally found her in a small
town mile from the home, the people there have been looking after.in
this part you must rebuild up your skills and this will determine the
ending of the story and also getting high skills on one or more areas
can have a add story to it to.
PlOT
TWIST 2! they have help her track down the terraforma but someone has
got to it first. on your way to for the second time you hear planes and
helicopters overhead, it turns out the army got to it first.
End
this is where you must choose what you can do do use the skills you should have learned over your travels;
sneak in and take it without them knowing or killing anyone,
take it by force killing and shooting everything that moves. e.g. the usa way
trade for it money/weapons rare thing they won't.
share, join them and them help you with the town and you help them with somewhere to put a base.
open
ended ending. what ever you choose could carry over to the next game.
the end is just you and your sister walking off into the waste holding
hands (fall out style)
Start. Intro music sets the sense.
Middle. Plot twist low point in the film.
End. Final boss ending. Sometimes not happy.

Foly art resurch
Jack Foly
Jack was born in York ville,
N.Y. in 1891, and was raised in the Seagate section of Coney
Island.he was the inventor of many types of sound effects used in films and TV shows, which are still used today. Almost overnight, sound was introduced.
In the forefront was Warner Brothers with its Vita phone recording
system. In the wings, Western Electric was readying it's photographic
system. and he was the inventor of the art called Foly art.
but what is foly art
A Foley
Artist 'recreates' sound effects for film,
television and radio productions on a Foley Stage
in a post production studio.
Using many
different kinds of shoes and lots of props - car
fenders, plates, glasses, chairs, and just about
anything I find at the side of the road - the Foley
Artist can replace original sound completely or
augment existing sounds to create a richer
track.
