Synopsis:

The Unseen Game

Three college friends—Rahul, Rohan, and Varun—are drawn into a mysterious online
game called "The Unseen Game," which promises real-world rewards for completing in-
game challenges. Initially, the tasks seem harmless, and the group is thrilled to be earning
easy money. However, as they progress, the game begins asking for real-world actions that
cross moral and legal boundaries.

While Rahul and Rohan grow obsessed with the game’s rewards, Varun grows
increasingly wary and distances himself as the tasks become darker. As the challenges
escalate, Rahul is asked to sabotage Varun’s academic future, and Rohan must perform
even more dangerous tasks. The tension between the friends reaches a breaking point as
greed starts to overshadow their loyalty.
Eventually, Rahul betrays Varun, hacking into the university’s system and altering his
grades, causing Varun’s future to hang in the balance. Soon after, Rohan is tasked with
framing Rahul for a campus security breach. Blinded by the promise of a huge payout,
Rohan complies, leading to Rahul’s arrest and expulsion.

In the end, Rahul’s life is ruined, Varun is devastated by betrayal, and Rohan is trapped in
the game, unable to escape the consequences. The game, designed to exploit their greed
and desperation, leaves no winners—only broken lives.

Result:
Thus the idea for the story is created and the synopsis of the movie is created
successfully.

STORY PRESENTATION:

Title: "The Unseen Game"

Introduction: The Three Friends

In a typical college dorm, three lifelong friends—Rahul, Rohan, and Varun—are united
by their love for video games. Each of them has different ambitions:

• Rahul is a computer science major with dreams of building a successful startup.

• Rohan, a business student, is always looking for quick ways to make money.
• Varun, an engineering student, is the most grounded of the three, focused on his
studies.

One evening, while playing games together, they come across an invitation to an online
game called "The Unseen Game". The game promises real-world rewards, sparking their
curiosity.
Rising Action: The Game Begins
At first, the game appears simple and innocent. The tasks are small—take a picture of a
campus landmark or leave a note on a stranger’s door. After completing the first few
challenges, they are rewarded with real money transferred to their digital wallets. Excited
by the quick cash, Rahul and Rohan become deeply invested, eager to see how far the
rewards can go. Varun, however, grows suspicious, sensing that something is off.

As they continue to play, the tasks grow more complex and morally questionable. Rahul
is asked to change the settings on a professor’s computer, while Rohan is tasked with
sneaking into the administration office to steal confidential documents. Varun, feeling
uneasy, distances himself from the game, warning his friends that things are going too far.

Climax: Betrayal and Desperation

Despite Varun’s warnings, Rahul and Rohan push ahead, driven by greed and the promise
of more money. Things take a dark turn when Rahul receives a final task from the game:
sabotage Varun’s academic future by hacking into the university’s grading system and
erasing his top grades. The reward? Enough money to fund Rahul’s dream startup.

Rahul, torn between loyalty to his friend and the temptation of the payout, eventually gives
in to the game’s demands. The next day, Varun’s grades are erased, putting his academic
future in jeopardy. When Varun realizes what has happened, he confronts Rahul,
devastated by the betrayal.

Meanwhile, Rohan receives a similar task: frame Rahul for a campus-wide security
breach. Blinded by the promise of a massive reward, Rohan complies, throwing Rahul
under the bus.

Falling Action: The Consequences

Chaos ensues on campus as Rahul is arrested, accused of the security breach. His life
unravels, and his dreams of starting a business are shattered. Varun, although betrayed,
manages to prove his innocence and restore his academic standing, but the friendship
between the three is irreparably broken.

Rohan, having framed Rahul, receives one final message from the game: “You’re not done
yet.” He soon realizes he has entered a deeper level of the game, one that he can no longer
escape. The game’s shadowy forces now control his life, and he is left on the run, always
looking over his shoulder.
Conclusion: The Lessons Learned
In the end, no one wins. Rahul is left with a ruined reputation, Varun moves on but is
scarred by the betrayal, and Rohan is trapped, facing real-world consequences far beyond
what he expected.

The story of "The Unseen Game" teaches a powerful lesson: quick rewards and
shortcuts often come at a great cost. The game wasn’t just about playing—it was a test of
their character, and in the pursuit of success, they lost their most important values:
friendship, trust, and integrity.

Message:
The lure of quick success can destroy the most important things in life: friendship, trust,
and personal integrity. The real rewards in life come from hard work and loyalty, not
shortcuts. The game’s real test was never about skill—it was about who they became when
the rules no longer applied.

RESULT:

Thus ,the team story is presented in the class and got all the feedback from the
students of the class.
Ex. No: 3a
Date: Script/StoryBoard Writing
Aim:

To develop a script/storyboard for the given stories for visual media projects.

Procedure:
1.Develop a clear concept and outline the story. Identify the main characters, setting,
and central conflict, and organize the plot into three parts—beginning, middle, and end.

2.Draft the script in standard format. Include scene descriptions, action lines, and
dialogue. Ensure characters are distinct and the conflict drives the plot forward.
:
3.As you write, imagine how each scene would appear on screen. Think about camera
angles, lighting, and sound that would enhance the story.

4.Break the script into key scenes and draw simple sketches for each frame. Indicate
camera movements, important actions, and add brief descriptions of the scene and
dialogue.

5.Review the script and storyboard for clarity and flow. Refine the dialogue, pacing, and
visuals. Ensure both align with your vision.

6,Share the script and storyboard with collaborators or peers. Incorporate their feedback
and make any necessary adjustments before finalizing the project.

SCRIPT:

Scene 1: Introduction
Location:
INT. DORM ROOM – NIGHT

Scene Description:
Rahul, Rohan, and Varun are in their typical dorm room setup, surrounded by laptops,
energy drinks, and instant noodle packets. The three are gaming together, relaxed, and
chatting casually as they play. The room feels cramped but familiar.
Dialogue:
RAHUL
(grinning)
I’m telling you, I’m going to ace this boss level. Watch and learn, boys.

ROHAN
(teasing)
Oh please, Rahul, you’re always talking big. Let’s see some action instead of empty
promises.

VARUN
(laughing)
I’d rather watch you both lose again. You guys take this way too seriously.

(Rahul’s screen suddenly flashes with a notification.)

RAHUL
(leaning in)
Whoa, hold up. I just got something weird—an invite to some online game called "The
Unseen Game." Look at this—‘Play the game, win in real life. The stakes are real, and so
are the rewards.’

ROHAN
(grinning)
Real rewards? Now we’re talking. What’s in it for us? Cash? Fame? I’m in!

VARUN
(skeptical)
Sounds shady, man. Probably some marketing ploy to get us hooked on microtransactions.
You know how these games work.

RAHUL
(still curious)
Or... it could be legit. Worst case, we waste a couple of hours. Best case, we make some
extra cash.

VARUN
(raising an eyebrow)
I don’t know... but sure, why not. Let’s see what it’s about.

(They all log into The Unseen Game, unaware of the consequences to come.)
Scene 2: The Real-World Tasks Begin

Location:
EXT. CAMPUS – DAY

Scene Description:
The game seems easy at first. Rahul, Rohan, and Varun are on campus, completing simple
real-world tasks assigned by The Unseen Game. The three are excited about how quickly
they’re earning money, but Varun remains cautious.

Dialogue:

RAHUL
(grinning, snapping a photo of a campus landmark)
That’s it. Task one done. This is way too easy.

ROHAN
(laughing as he slips a note under a stranger’s door)
This is a joke. Why would anyone pay us for stuff like this? Where’s the challenge?

VARUN
(picking up a random item from the library's lost and found)
I don’t know, guys. This is weird. Why are we getting money for these random tasks?
Something feels off.

RAHUL
(excited, checking his phone)
I’m telling you, look at the money we’re making. This is real cash, Varun. This could
actually be something big!

ROHAN
(grinning)
You’re thinking too much, Varun. Just enjoy it. Easy money, no strings attached.

VARUN
(shaking his head)
No strings, huh? Yeah, right. Nothing is ever this easy. Just… be careful, okay?

(Rohan and Rahul shrug off Varun’s concerns, eager for the next challenge.)
Scene 3: The Friends Drift Apart

Location:
INT. DORM ROOM – NIGHT

Scene Description:
Back in the dorm room, Rahul and Rohan are fully immersed in The Unseen Game, eager
for their next tasks and the rewards. Varun, however, grows more distant, uncomfortable
with how the game is evolving. Their friendship is strained as Rohan and Rahul ignore his
warnings.

Dialogue:

VARUN
(concerned, pacing the room)
This isn’t just a game anymore. We’re doing real things that could get us in serious trouble.
You guys need to stop before this gets out of hand.

RAHUL
(casually, brushing him off)
Relax, Varun. It’s harmless stuff. No one’s getting hurt. They’re just pranks, that’s all.

ROHAN
(grinning)
And the money’s getting better every time. I just pulled in enough to cover next month’s
rent. Why would I stop now?

VARUN
(frustrated)
Because you’re taking risks that could ruin your lives. You’re sneaking into offices,
messing with people’s stuff. This isn’t just fun anymore.

RAHUL
(slightly defensive)
You’re overreacting. It’s just temporary. Once we’ve made enough, we’ll stop. I’m almost
there—I’m going to launch my startup with this.

VARUN
(serious, crossing his arms)
I’m out. I’m not going down this path with you. Just don’t drag me into whatever mess this
turns into.
(Varun leaves the room, while Rahul and Rohan exchange uneasy looks but quickly refocus
on the game.)

Scene 4: The Deadly Task

Location:
INT. DORM ROOM – NIGHT

Scene Description:
Rahul stares at his laptop screen, reading the latest task from The Unseen Game: sabotage
Varun’s academic future. The task feels much more personal and damaging than anything
he’s done before. He’s torn between the promise of a huge payout and the betrayal of his
friend.

Dialogue:

RAHUL
(whispering to himself)
No... I can’t do this. It’s too far. Varun’s my friend.

(He hesitates, staring at the screen. His phone buzzes with a reminder of the potential
reward.)

RAHUL
(looking at the reward amount)
Maybe... maybe I can fix it later. He’ll understand. I just need the money. This is my
chance.

(He takes a deep breath and starts typing, hacking into the university’s grading system.
Sweat beads on his forehead as he hits "submit.")

Scene 5: Confrontation

Location:
EXT. CAMPUS – DAY

Scene Description:
The next morning, Varun storms across campus, finding Rahul. His grades have been
altered, and he knows it was Rahul. His face is filled with anger and betrayal, while Rahul
looks guilty and cornered.
Dialogue:

VARUN
(furious)
Rahul, how could you? My grades—my future! You did this, didn’t you?

RAHUL
(stammering, trying to defend himself)
I-I didn’t mean for it to go this far. I thought I could fix it. I didn’t think it would... Varun,
I’m sorry.

VARUN
(yelling, hurt)
Sorry?! You sabotaged my entire future for some stupid game! We’ve been friends for
years, and you threw it all away for cash!

(Rahul tries to speak, but Varun shakes his head and walks away, unable to forgive the
betrayal. Rahul stands there, guilt eating away at him.)

Scene 6: Rohan’s Betrayal

Location:
INT. DORM ROOM – NIGHT

Scene Description:
Rohan sits in the dorm room, reading his next task: frame Rahul for a campus-wide security
breach. The reward is too tempting to ignore, but the cost is severe. He hesitates, but greed
pushes him to complete the task.

Dialogue:

ROHAN
(quietly to himself, conflicted)
I can’t believe it’s come to this... but I’ve come too far. One more task, and I’m done. I
need this.

(He types furiously, setting up the breach to look like Rahul’s doing. After a moment, he
leans back, his face tense with guilt and fear.)

ROHAN
(whispering)
It’s just a game... right?
Scene 7: The Arrest

Location:
EXT. CAMPUS – DAY

Scene Description:
Campus police arrest Rahul for the breach. Varun watches from a distance, still reeling
from Rahul’s earlier betrayal, but not wanting to see him go down like this. Rohan watches
too, guilt etched on his face, knowing he caused it all.

Dialogue:

RAHUL
(shouting as he’s handcuffed)
This isn’t right! I didn’t do it! Varun, you know me, I wouldn’t do something like this!

VARUN
(quiet, torn)
I thought I knew you, Rahul... I thought I did.

(Rohan stays silent, watching from the shadows, his phone buzzing with the promised
payout. He checks his phone, but instead of a reward, he receives a final chilling message:
"You’re not done yet.")

Scene 8: The Game’s Final Message

Location:
INT. DORM ROOM – NIGHT

Scene Description:
Rohan stares at his laptop, his heart sinking as he reads the final message from The Unseen
Game: "You can run, but you can’t escape." The realization dawns on him—he’s
trapped in something far bigger and far more dangerous than he ever imagined.

Dialogue:

ROHAN
(whispering, terrified)
What have I gotten myself into?
Scene 9: Conclusion

Location:
INT. RAHUL’S ROOM – NIGHT

Scene Description:
Months later, Rahul, now expelled and back home, is sitting at his desk. His laptop lights
up with a notification: "There’s always a next level. Are you ready to play again?"
Rahul stares at the message, his face grim and exhausted.

Dialogue:

RAHUL
(quietly, closing the laptop)
No. Never again.

(He closes his laptop, refusing to engage, but the scars of the game and the damage it
caused are still fresh. He’s left trying to rebuild his life, knowing he’ll never fully escape
what happened.)

Overview:

Pre-production is the essential planning stage of filmmaking where all the

groundwork is laid before filming begins. This phase involves assembling the core team,
including the director, producer, scriptwriter, and technical crew, as well as estimating the
project’s budget for personnel, equipment, locations, and contingencies. A detailed
schedule is created, outlining rehearsals, filming, and post-production timelines.
Locations are scouted and secured for shooting, while the casting process selects the right
actors for each role. Finally, contracts and agreements are finalized with the cast, crew, and
vendors to ensure legal clarity. Pre-production sets the foundation for a smooth and
efficient filming process.

1. Personnel

• Choose a director experienced in handling psychological thrillers and character-

driven plots.

Animation Treatment :
"The Unseen Game"

Overall Animation Style

The animation style for "The Unseen Game" should blend elements of realism with a
surreal, dystopian feel to emphasize the shifting nature of the online game and its
increasingly dark influence over the characters. The real-world setting of the dorm and
campus can have a grounded, semi-realistic aesthetic, while scenes involving the game
itself or tasks related to the game can be exaggerated with high-contrast lighting, glitchy
effects, and intense color schemes to reflect the distortion of reality.
Key Animation Techniques

1. Realism vs. Surrealism

o The dorm room and campus scenes will be animated with a semi-realistic
approach, focusing on the mundane aspects of college life. This will serve as a
contrast to the heightened, surreal visual effects when the characters are
immersed in the game.
o The game interface, challenges, and especially the rewards, will have glitch
effects, glowing neon, and unsettling distortions to symbolize the game's
power over reality.
2. Color Palette
o Dorm Room/College Life: Muted colors with neutral tones like greys, dark
blues, and faded yellows to highlight the characters’ everyday, mundane
environment.
o In-Game Sequences: Vivid neon colors—electric blues, purples, and reds—
along with glitchy digital textures to distinguish the world of The Unseen
Game from reality.
o Dangerous Tasks: As the real-world tasks escalate, darker tones and high-
contrast lighting can be introduced. For example, dimming the surroundings
and using sharp reds to signify danger and stress.
3. Character Animation
o Rahul: Animations for Rahul will show increasing tension through his body
language as he grows obsessed with the game. Early in the story, he will have
focused, ambitious movements (typing quickly, sitting upright), but as the
game tightens its grip, his posture will slump, his facial expressions will grow
anxious, and his movements more frantic.
o Rohan: His animation will reflect a carefree attitude initially, with relaxed,
loose body language and confident gestures. As the stakes rise, his movements
will become more erratic, especially when completing dangerous tasks,
showing the internal pressure building up.
o Varun: Always grounded, Varun’s animations will be calmer. His resistance
to the game will show through slower, controlled movements, but his
frustration and worry will be expressed in sharp, sudden gestures as he
watches his friends spiral deeper.

Key Scene Animations

Opening Scene: Dorm Room (Typical Friday Night)

• Visuals: The dorm room scene introduces the characters in a relaxed, typical college
setting. The animation should emphasize the clutter—empty energy drinks, laptops
with various games on the screens, and scattered books. A warm color palette with
dim lighting from the screens will set the tone for a laid-back atmosphere.
 • Character Movements: Rahul types away on his laptop, with fast, mechanical hand
motions, indicating his focus on work. Rohan lazily slouches in his chair, flipping
through his phone, and Varun sits more upright, focused on balancing his gaming
and studies.
• Sound Design: Ambient sound of laptops, faint game sounds, and quiet background
music to create a realistic setting.
• Camera Movement: A slow pan across the room, emphasizing their current carefree
lives before the game disrupts their routine.

Game Notification: The Invitation

• Visuals: As the notification pops up on Rahul’s screen, the lighting in the room
subtly shifts—a slight flicker of the lights or a brief color shift in the environment to
indicate the beginning of the game’s influence. The screen animation will show a
neon, glitchy interface with the message: “Play the game, win in real life. The stakes
are real, and so are the rewards.”
• Animation Style: A brief glitch effect could appear on the characters’ faces or the
environment as they react to the notification, signifying the game’s entrance into
their world. The camera should zoom in slightly on Rahul’s curious expression.
• Sound Design: A sharp digital “ping” when the notification appears, followed by an
eerie low hum in the background to suggest something ominous.

First Real-World Task (Rahul’s First Challenge)

• Visuals: For Rahul’s task of taking a photo of a landmark, the animation can shift to
a high-contrast, almost hyper-real style. The landmark should appear normal at first
but slightly warped or glitchy in the background. Subtle effects like glowing lines or
hovering game icons over the target can symbolize the game’s presence in reality.
• Character Movements: Rahul’s hesitation can be portrayed through small, jerky
movements as he raises his phone to take the photo, his eyes flicking nervously
around.
• Game Interface: The interface that rewards him with real money can materialize in
mid-air after completing the task—floating neon numbers and digital effects as he
receives the reward. His face should reflect awe and growing intrigue.

Escalation: Rohan’s Risky Task

• Visuals: Rohan’s task to sneak into an office will be animated with dark, high-
contrast lighting. The scene should feel tense, with long shadows, narrow spaces, and
the constant feeling of being watched. Neon-colored lines representing the game’s
objectives will highlight key items, such as the door he needs to break into.
 • Character Movements: Rohan moves with increasing urgency—quick, nervous
steps, constantly looking over his shoulder. His body language should show growing
anxiety as the task becomes more dangerous.
• Sound Design: The scene will have quiet, ambient music punctuated by the sound of
creaking doors and footsteps. A subtle heartbeat sound effect can increase the tension
as Rohan completes his task.

Climax: The Sabotage

• Visuals: When Rahul receives the task to sabotage Varun’s future, the animation
should become distorted and surreal. The camera can show close-ups of Rahul’s
trembling hands and his face, which alternates between fear and temptation. The
game interface appears more invasive on the screen, with glitching elements
spreading into the room itself (floating code, digital particles).
• Character Movements: Rahul’s fingers hover above the keyboard, shaking before
finally pressing the key to hack into the university’s system. His shoulders hunch,
reflecting guilt and fear.
• Lighting: The lighting in the room will shift dramatically after Rahul completes the
task, becoming darker and more oppressive, symbolizing the irreversible damage
done.
• Sound Design: A loud, ominous sound effect when he presses the key, followed by
eerie silence as he realizes what he’s done.

Final Message: Game’s True Nature

• Visuals: After the climax, the screen should display the final message from the
game: “Congratulations. You have completed your part. But remember, in this game,
there are no winners.” The words will appear in glitchy, dissolving text, overlaid
with flashing red warnings and digital distortions.
• Character Movements: Rahul, now defeated, closes his laptop. His movement is
slow and heavy, showing the emotional weight of his actions. His face shows regret
as the camera zooms out, leaving him isolated in the dimly lit dorm room.
• Ending Effect: The room should slowly fade, pixelating into digital noise,
symbolizing the way The Unseen Game has consumed their lives, leaving only the
lingering question of whether Rahul will resist the next invitation.

RESULT:
Thus the Documentary and Animation treatment including storytelling concepts, visual
styles, and thematic elements have been developed and everything is finalised.
Ex. No: 8 Post-production: Editing,
Date: Sound design,Finishing
AIM:
To learn the post-production processes involved in media production, including editing,
sound design, and finishing touches.

PROCEDURE:
• Review all the recorded footage and select the best takes, ensuring key scenes and
moments are captured properly.

• Assemble the footage into a coherent narrative by arranging scenes, cutting unnecessary
parts, and maintaining proper flow and pacing.

• Add sound effects, background music, and voiceovers, ensuring the audio enhances the
storytelling and matches the visual tone.

• Incorporate any required visual effects, such as animations, CGI, or transitions, to

enhance the visual appeal and convey story elements.

• Adjust the color tones and brightness of the footage to maintain consistency and enhance
the mood of the scenes.

• Review the complete project for continuity, sync, and overall quality. Once satisfied,
export the final version in the required format for distribution .

POST PRODUCTION:
Overview:

Post-production is the final stage of filmmaking where all the elements of the project
come together to create the finished product. It involves reviewing and selecting the best
footage, editing it into a cohesive narrative, and adding essential components such as sound
design, music, visual effects, and color grading. During this phase, any necessary
corrections or enhancements are made to ensure the visual and audio quality align with the
director's vision. Finally, the project is reviewed in its entirety, and once approved, it is
exported and prepared for distribution.
Editing:

This is the process of assembling the raw footage into a coherent story or sequence.

• Get all the recorded or gathered footage and inject it into the editing software
• Add necessary transitions to give a smooth and clear transitions between the
scenes .
• Add effects and animations to keep the audience engaging .
• Use diiferent editing techniques to give a real experience to the audience.

Sound Design:

Sound design enhances the auditory experience of the film by adding or refining sound
elements like dialogue, music, sound effects, and atmospheres.

• Dialogue recorded on set (production audio) is cleaned up and synced with the
footage. Unwanted noise is removed.
• Foley artists and sound designers create or source sound effects that complement
the visuals (e.g., footsteps, door creaks, explosions).
• Background sounds (like city noise, wind, or nature sounds) are layered into the
scenes to make them feel more immersive and realistic.
• The composer creates the film's score, or pre-existing music is licensed. The music is
timed precisely to enhance the emotional impact of key scenes.
• The final mix combines all audio elements (dialogue, effects, music) at appropriate
levels and ensures a balanced sound across different playback systems (e.g.,
theaters, televisions, headphones).

Finishing:

• After picture lock, the film undergoes color grading. Colorists adjust the color balance,
saturation, and contrast to ensure a consistent, aesthetically pleasing look across the film.
Grading can also be used to enhance mood (e.g., making a scene warmer or colder in tone).

• Any remaining visual effects are integrated and polished. This may include CGI, green
screen compositing, or other visual enhancements.

• The final mix is tested on various systems (theater speakers, home systems, etc.) to
ensure consistency and quality across all platforms.

• If required, subtitles or captions are added for different language versions or

accessibility.
