TPL 8
After the thesis presentation, last week, there were a lot of edits and areas I needed to make edits to. I talked with both Regine and Amy on areas that I could improve for the next iteration.
- One area is to focus on the artifact which is my video that I will be making to demonstrate one portion of my application
- I will create the foundation of the Mister Rogers approach and really take time to get the “feel” and “look” down of the video.
I have made a pivot into a new area to incorporate some storytelling techniques that act a “pilot” to my project.
Screenplay for rough storyboard:
Screenplay rough draft for tutorial video
First scene — Scene 1
After the patient chooses the type of level of anxiety they have they will be brought to the first scene that will be an introduction to the Doctor they will be seeing and the type of tools and chairs the patient will be encountering.
*This scene will be the intro of the Doctor to come in and introduce themselves. *This is an important part of the project where the style needs to be similar to how Mister Rogers does it in the show.*
DOCTOR
*In neutral tone* Hello there (Name of patient), my name is Dr. (Name. I understand you are feeling a little scared to come and see the Dentist. Well, I just want to say that it is ok to feel those feelings. It’s important to stay calm and listen to your parents and friendly doctor. Your friendly doctor will tell you what is safe at their office.
Scene 2
The Doctors voice will still be heard as a V.O.
Shot will have the Dentist Avatar character in the shot, along with the front desk avatar.
DOCTOR V.O.
There will be other people in the office. This is (Name of front desk person. She is friendly and likes ____.
Scene 3
The scene will transition to the multi-sensory room.
DOCTOR V.O.
This is one of our rooms where we are free to relax and play with certain items. If you like quiet calming spaces, then perhaps you might want to check out this room when you get here.
Scene 4 and 5
This scene will start to introduce the type of chair that will be in the room. And what the patient’s general room will look like.
DOCTOR V.O.
This is your room that you will be using for your visit.
Camera pans around the room.
The camera stops then focuses on the chair.
DOCTOR V.O.
The chair can move in many different ways!
*The animation will show how the chair moves and operates and even sounds like. Use the special wheelchair for this animation and sound effect.*
Scene 7
The scene will demonstrate the type of tools that will be used in the procedure.
DOCTOR V.O.
These are the tools I will be using today. * Note how they look, decode the stereotypes, make the tools look fun and give them names. Give a little story for the kids about the types of tools.*
Scene 8
Transition scene of showing the tools work. Showing a demonstration of what the tools are doing to someone’s tooth.
DOCTOR V.O.
Note on the noise. There is a scary sound at first, but the sound is really what cleaning sounds like, sorta like a washing machine.
Scene 9
This scene will showcase a model’s behavior with a toy and describe how well behaved and calm some of the other kids are at the office. This scene needs to set the emotions of feeling safe and that kids can bring something of sentimental value into the room.
DOCTOR V.O.
You can bring a special item with you if it will make you feel safer.
Scene 10
The ending will be a conclusion that recaps all the other characters that were in the video. *Needs to provide a safe message on allowing distress but know there are other ways to communicate.
DOCTOR V.O.
If you need anything, let your parents know how you feel or tell the Dr. on how they feel as well. *end with a closing statement that the people in the office are there to help you and keep you safe.
I also have been in the process in creating an animated character for the video. So one character I am focusing on is a free Captain America 3D asset that I found and will be applying blendshapes to it.
Here is what I have so far:
