Assignment Brief

Team Project
2500 words equivalent
Create an in-game cutscene between 2 and 5 mins in length. The content should be of your own choice regarding storyline and aesthetical
requirements. The delivery should be in a video format of at least 720p (or to be played by VLC without plugins).
Your final work should include a short description (not more than 300 words each) of the main elements of the development workflow such as:
 Storyline + Context
 Staging + Shot Compositions/Storyboards
 Cutting
 Pacing
 Final Integration
Remember you have to reference any and all literature you use, using the APA referencing system. References do not count against the word
limit, which is interpreted as +/- 10% - so your written work should be between 1650 and 1350 words long when references are excluded.
Note the final word count of 2500 is equivalent for this assignment..
