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.

convey—whether it's about friendship, greed, loyalty, or another topic.
4. Conclude by summarizing the resolution of the story and its impact on the
characters.
STORY PRESENTATION:
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.
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.
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.

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
(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.)
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.)
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.")
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.)

PROCEDURE:
• Install Canva from the web browser and open the Home page.
• Search in the search bar “StoryBoard to get the templates to create a storyboard.
• Select a template which you prefer to develop a storyboard for your story.
• Add the images or sketches you selected for the story in the template.
• Add all the photo sequentially and add text below the photos or sketches to visualize the
scenes perfectly before the shooting.
PROCEDURE:
• Identify and recruit essential crew members (director, producer, cinematographer, etc.)
and ensure roles are clearly defined.
• Create a detailed budget that includes personnel, equipment, locations, and post-
production costs, ensuring all financial requirements are covered.
• Develop a project timeline that includes pre-production, shooting days, and post-
production, accounting for availability of personnel and resources.
• Visit and select suitable filming locations based on script requirements, logistical
convenience, and budget.
• Hold auditions and screen tests to select actors who match the character profiles. Finalize
casting decisions with the director.
• Draft and sign contracts for all personnel, location agreements, and vendors to ensure
legal clarity and protect all parties involved.
PREPRODUCTION:
Overview:
1. Personnel
Hire a skilled cinematographer to capture the eerie atmosphere of the online game
and real-world consequences.
• Bring on an art director to design both the college setting and the game’s dark visual
elements.
• Engage a post-production team for editing, sound, and special effects (especially for
in-game scenes).
2. Budgeting
• Allocate funds for hiring cast, crew, and specialists (game designers for visual
effects).
• Budget for camera gear, lighting, and post-production software (especially for CGI-
heavy scenes like game visualizations).
• Include travel and permits for shooting at the dorm, college campus, and other
locations.
• Ensure funds for food, transportation, props, costumes, and marketing.
• Reserve 10-15% of the budget for unforeseen expenses.
3. Scheduling
• Plan 1-2 weeks for rehearsals, focusing on character dynamics and intense emotional
scenes.
• Create a shooting schedule based on scene difficulty, starting with less complex
dorm room scenes and moving to riskier outdoor tasks.
• Allow at least 4-6 weeks for post-production, including CGI for game interface
scenes and sound mixing.
• Set milestone dates for script finalization, casting, location scouting, and rehearsals.
4. Location Scouting
• Dorm Room: Find a small, cluttered dorm room location or set that visually
represents the tension and isolation between characters.
• College Campus: Secure permission to film key scenes on a university campus,
including areas like classrooms, administrative offices, and libraries.
• Off-Campus Locations: Identify various real-world locations for the escalating
tasks, such as streets, public buildings, or secluded areas.
• Safety Check: Ensure safety measures are in place, particularly for any dangerous
real-world task scenes.
5. Casting
• Talent Contracts: Draft agreements for all actors, securing their commitment for the
entire shoot duration, and include terms for promotional duties.
• Crew Contracts: Ensure legal agreements are signed with crew members to outline
their roles, responsibilities, and working hours.
• Location Agreements: Finalize location permits, especially for the campus and
public spaces, to avoid legal complications.
• Vendors & Equipment: Negotiate agreements with vendors supplying technical
equipment, set design materials, and post-production tools.
• Distribution Agreements: If possible, secure distribution deals with streaming
platforms or film festivals early in the process.
RESULT:
Thus the preproduction processes are analysed and the budget ,location,schedule
have been fixed.
Ex. No: 5
Production: Single camera production personnel
Date: &equipment, Documentary Production
AIM:
PROCEDURE:
• Ensure cameras, lighting, and sound equipment are properly set up and tested.
• Follow the pre-planned shot list to keep filming organized and efficient.
•: Adjust lighting to match the mood and ensure clarity in each scene.
• Plan and rehearse actors' movements and positions for each scene before filming.
• Maintain consistency in props, costumes, and positioning between shots for smooth
editing.
Overview:
Production is the stage where the actual filming of the movie or short film takes
place. It involves executing the script by shooting scenes with actors on set or location. The
director oversees the creative aspects, while the crew ensures that the cameras, lighting, and
sound are properly set up. Actors perform according to the script, and multiple takes are
captured for each scene. The focus during production is on capturing all necessary footage,
maintaining continuity, and following the schedule to ensure efficient use of time and
resources.
1. Equipment Setup
• Camera Gear: Set up multiple cameras to capture different angles of the dorm
room, campus, and outdoor locations. Use handheld or steadicam shots for dynamic
real-world tasks.
• Lighting: Use soft lighting for indoor dorm scenes to create an intimate, tense
atmosphere. Use natural lighting or subtle spotlights for outdoor scenes.
• Sound Equipment: Place boom mics for capturing clear dialogue, especially in
confined spaces like the dorm room. Use lavalier mics for outdoor shots to ensure
crisp sound during real-world tasks.
• Backup Power: Have backup batteries and generators for long shooting days,
particularly for outdoor tasks.
• Dorm Room Scenes: Use close-up and medium shots to capture the tension between
Rahul, Rohan, and Varun as they interact with "The Unseen Game."
• Real-World Task Scenes: Use a mix of wide and tracking shots to build suspense as
characters complete dangerous tasks.
• Climactic Moments: Plan dynamic shots to convey the emotional intensity during
confrontations, especially the fallout between Rahul, Rohan, and Varun.
• Shot List: Prioritize shots based on complexity, starting with easier scenes (dorm
room) and building toward more difficult real-world tasks.
3. Actor Management
• Rahul (Lead Actor): Schedule rehearsals focused on his internal conflict between
ambition and morality. Direct him to show subtle changes as he gets more obsessed
with the game.
• Rohan (Lead Actor): Rehearse scenes that showcase his risk-taking behavior and
growing distance from his friends as the stakes increase.
• Varun (Lead Actor): Focus on scenes where Varun tries to reason with his friends,
then gradually pulls away from them. Ensure his anger and betrayal are clearly
portrayed in the climax.
• Supporting Actors: Brief supporting actors (professors, officials) on their limited
but crucial roles in establishing the college setting and the stakes of the game.
4. Location Setup
• Dorm Room: Decorate the room with clutter (laptops, energy drinks, books) to
visually represent the friends' lifestyles. Use tight framing to convey the characters'
increasing isolation.
• College Campus: Film key scenes at the university—lecture halls, libraries,
administrative offices. Secure permissions and keep the environment authentic to the
story’s setting.
• Off-Campus Locations: Scout urban spaces like streets, parks, or public buildings
for the real-world task sequences. Ensure minimal disruption to local activities, and
have security in place for crowd control if necessary.
• Safety Measures: Ensure safety, especially during scenes that involve sneaking into

DOCUMENTARY WRITING:
Visuals:
Wide aerial shots of Tamil Nadu’s diverse landscapes. The camera captures lush
agricultural fields, the coastal areas with bustling ports, and the urban sprawl of cities like
Chennai. These scenic shots gradually transition to images of cracked, dry soil, deforested
areas in the Western Ghats, and busy city streets choked with traffic and air pollution.
Narration (VO):
"Tamil Nadu, a land of vibrant culture and tradition, where bustling cities meet serene
landscapes. But beneath the surface, a crisis is unfolding—a crisis driven by the forces of
climate change. From water scarcity to deforestation, the land and the people are grappling
with a changing world."
Visuals:
A farmer stands in a parched field, looking up at the sky, his face etched with worry.
Farmer (On-Camera):
"We used to pray for rain. Now, we pray that the rains don’t destroy what little we have
left."
Visuals:
Footage of dry riverbeds, shrinking reservoirs, and urban residents standing in long lines to
collect water from tankers. Farmers tilling dry fields, visibly struggling with reduced crop
yields. City life in Chennai, where water tankers deliver essential water supplies.
Narration (VO):
"In Tamil Nadu’s rural districts, the once-reliable monsoon rains have become erratic,
leaving fields dry and farmers desperate. In cities like Chennai, the water crisis is just as
severe, with depleting groundwater and unpredictable rainfall putting immense pressure on
urban life."
Interviews:
Farmer (On-Camera):
"We wait for rain to water our crops, but sometimes it doesn’t come at all. Or worse, it
comes too much and washes everything away."
Visuals:
Aerial shots of the Western Ghats, showcasing its breathtaking beauty. These shots slowly
fade into images of deforested areas where trees have been cut down, leaving barren
patches of land. Wildlife like elephants and tigers wander through shrinking habitats.
Villagers collect medicinal plants and fruits from the forest, a tradition passed down for
generations.
Narration (VO):
"The Western Ghats, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the world’s most important
biodiversity hotspots. But illegal logging, agricultural expansion, and development are
threatening this delicate ecosystem, pushing wildlife to the brink and affecting the lives of
the indigenous communities who rely on the forest."
Interviews:
Tribal Leader (On-Camera):
"Our people have lived with the forest for centuries. We gather what we need, but now, the
trees are disappearing, and with them, our way of life."
Conservationist (On-Camera):
"If the forests continue to vanish at this rate, we will lose not only the wildlife but also the
environmental balance that supports agriculture, rain, and life itself."
Visuals:
Time-lapse shots of high-rise buildings under construction in Chennai, Coimbatore, and
Madurai. Busy streets filled with traffic, and shots of urban lakes and wetlands that have
been converted into construction sites. Monsoon footage of urban flooding, cars submerged
in water.
Narration (VO):
"Urbanization is spreading rapidly across Tamil Nadu, bringing with it economic
opportunities but also severe environmental consequences. Green spaces and wetlands,
crucial for flood control and groundwater replenishment, are disappearing under the
pressure of unplanned development."
Interviews:
Urban Planner (On-Camera):
"We’re expanding too fast, without taking into account the environmental cost. Floods are
more frequent, and air pollution levels are rising—it's time we rethink our approach to city
planning."
Visuals:
Farmers working on organic farms, setting up rainwater harvesting systems, and growing
drought-resistant crops. Community members sharing resources in a sustainable farming
initiative.
Narration (VO):
"Amid the challenges posed by climate change, Tamil Nadu’s farmers are showing
resilience. From organic farming to rainwater harvesting, they are adapting and finding
ways to sustain their livelihoods."
Interviews:
Farmer (On-Camera):
"We’ve had to change the way we farm. With organic methods and new crops, we can
grow food with less water and protect our soil."
Visuals:
Volunteers planting trees, villagers restoring rainwater harvesting ponds, and Chennai
residents converting unused land into community gardens.
Narration (VO):
"The solutions to Tamil Nadu’s environmental challenges are not coming from global
powers, but from its people. Grassroots movements across the state are leading efforts to
restore ecosystems and build resilience."
Interviews:
Environmental Activist (On-Camera):
"We can’t wait for governments to solve this crisis. Change must come from the ground up,
from communities working together to protect their environment."
Conclusion (5 minutes)
Visuals:
Farmers working in their fields, children playing in restored water bodies, and aerial shots
of lush forests regaining strength after reforestation efforts.
Narration (VO):
"The future of Tamil Nadu depends on what we do today. The solutions are here, and the
will to implement them is growing. But it requires a commitment—from individuals,
communities, and governments—to protect the land and ensure a sustainable future for
generations to come."
Closing Scene:
A montage of successful community-driven environmental efforts across the state, from
reforestation projects to water conservation initiatives.
Credits Roll:
The credits roll over scenes of hope and resilience: farmers planting seeds, volunteers
restoring ponds, and communities working together to rebuild what has been lost.
Animation Treatment :
"The Unseen Game"
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
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

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.
