The project was to basically create you own hoax using image manipulation techniques. So this project was right up my street as i love to do image manipulation projects like this wether it be just for fun or involved in other projects. This is obviously because i want to be a graphic designer so i have a big interest in it. However i feel i am really strong in using photoshop as i know my way around it quite well after having it for over 7 years. So i dint want to just churn out another photoshop image with somebodies head on somebody else. I wanted it to have a strong back story that could go off in different directions and incorporate lots of different elements.
Thats why for my hoax i came up with a mysterious killings idea where some campers in the sherwood forest woods were attacked by a unknown creature. That killed them in a mysterious way. So that was my basic idea to start off with. This then ended up sprouting out in lots of different directions, as i ended up doing a government file, police file, autopsy report then the polaroids that i had to do. So as my story built up my original idea kind of changed. I was going to have the secret camera footage that was supposedly found by the government and put in to storage exposed in the newspaper. Although i decided against it actually as i liked the fact it was a bit of a mystery still along with the Manton colliery event that happened over 40 years priory to this. Which all this built up a strong enough story without exposing the mysterious creature.
Overall i feel it has gone very well and looks quite professional like it could actually be a proper mysterious case- or hoax in this case. It has gone quite well from looking into different hoaxes but mainly looking into dyatlov pass incident which was the real life mysterious event that still remains a mystery today. But from reading up about this event it fed and started off my whole story for this project and has given it a really good bases to work from.
