Visual Novels are a unique blend of
storytelling, art, and music. However, another aspect of this genre
of video games involves cinematography, which is the use of movement
through camerawork, framing size, and lighting. Although not all
visual novels take advantage of these options, the experience of a
visual novel can be significantly enhanced through cinematography,
evoking a range of emotions to create feelings of happiness, despair,
humor, or even fear. It so happens that I've had a year of training
in film and video production, and have made a number of short films
in my past. My background in film has inspired some of my ideas for
the storytelling process. This week, I will explore some of the
techniques I'll be using in The Star Legation visual novel to add
another layer of depth to this visual novel experience!
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
