Narrative Conditions
An Immersive Scenario Prototype

This project explores how ordinary life changes under different conditions of informational trust and narrative clarity.

Using a comparative scenario framework, the film examines four narrative conditions:

Owned and Recorded
Structured but Contested
Held Together by People
Narrative Vacuum

Rather than depicting radically different futures, the immersion layers shifts in interpretation, repetition, sound, and emotional stability onto the same routines and environments.

The project combines real footage, AI-generated sequences, ambient sound design, and recursive imagery to explore how uncertainty becomes embedded within everyday life.

Runtime: ~6 minutes
Created for Parsons School of Design — Immersive Scenario Planning
