Notes 2/4

Visual Themes:
  • Text: Bull in a China shop
  • Subtext: Stripping away facade to find out what's beneath
    • Peaceful appearance vs Drama below surface
    • Decorative/ornamentation vs Power and Rawness
  • D'art is a peasant entering into royal world
    • Representative of a bull and now owner of China shop
  • D'art reaking up other mech's and turn them into something new
    • Bull taking pieces he smashed and "creates" new China shop
  • D'art has nothing to strip away (innocent/honest), appears genuine against fake world
  • What if this world were a mug?
    • Veneer chipping away
    • Stains inside of mug
    • Shallowness
    • Decorative and beautiful, but very fragile 
  • Bull is the china shop visual theme:
    • Strengths could be to their own demise
    • Bull is mech itself, has extravagant parts, uses it to create destruction 
      • Raging parts intended for destruction and violence, has delicate appearance

Think of action involved and explore how the themes relate to each other


Story Theme:
  • Trust vs. Betrayal
    • Everybody makes mistake, trust to rebuild it
    • Trusted weapons that enemy can pick up and betray you
  • Approval of others
    • Confidence in themselves and others
    • Helps teamwork
    • Enemies are not trying to help others
  • Camaraderie
  • **Honor
    • Self sacrificing
    • Giving up own honor and reputation from royalty to save friends
    • Poor to rich outfits, toward end of game become more unified
    • "Dress better, feel better" - How you present self is honor, so put best on mech

Loglines:
  • Needs irony
  • Has to suggest whole story
  • Suggest audience and cost
