Ideas

Idea 1(Social Media)

A boy got persuaded into creating a facebook page by friends as all of them have one. Without knowing there is something call privacy in the setting, he made his facebook page avaliable to the public.  When he went out with his friends, he will use his smartphone to check-in as all of his friend are doing so.

A few days passed, random people started to add him as friend and that when the problem arises. One day, he was out with a few buddy from school when he notice something is following him. At first, he thought that he just simply being paranoid. But as time goes by, he feel more and more unease whenever he go out.

He also started to receive weird and creepy present. It was then he started to recap what have he done to lead to this and he realise it's his facebook! He consult his friends and his friend suggested that he can actually set the setting on his facebook into private mode. And suggest him to "unfriend" people that he have added into the facebook account for safety measure.

Idea 2 (Hacker and Victim)

There will be a hacker and there will be a victim. It will be from 2 point of view. The hacker will create a new hacking program and load it to the internet. The victim accidentally click a website that will download the program without the victim notice.

Day by day, the victim will key in new password and day by day the hacker will receive new information. Information like the credit card details and personal details.

The hacker will use the information to sell it to the underground economy which is what hacker trade in. The hacker will also sell the information to identity thieves or spammers who will use the chance to make more money with the data.

The victim begin to receive anonymous email ranging from 20 to 30 email per day from the same sender. Pop up windows also started to popping up. It was then the victim suspect he might have downloaded virus and afraid his privacy have been compromise.

He then come across gosafeonline website which teaches visitor what to look up for and what to do. He turn on the firewall, downloaded an anti-virus program install it onto his computer. He then changes all of his password just to be safe. 

Idea 3 (Hacker UFO)
It seems to be just another pleasant day in Sg Town when suddenly a shadow pops out from the cloud above.  An unidentified giant spaceship flew out from the skies and hover over a block of HDB flat. The spaceship starts to emit a ray of light over the whole block.

Meanwhile, a teenager in a room is using his laptop when out of nowhere all the data in his system disappeared! He panics and attempts to reboot his laptop but to no avail. Soon he heard a commotion at his block. This is when he realized his fellow neighbours are in the same predicament as him. The UFO had stolen all these earthlings’ information. The UFO flew to all estates including office buildings in Sg Town to steal data and disappeared into the clouds.

Soon after, still feeling puzzled, the residents start to receive funny emails on their computers and messages to their mobile phone. The UFO had used the data hacked from their systems to regenerate such that can control the earth.

At this moment, a young man, John was trying to think of the solution. Finally, he think of an idea – shield. To create the shield, an antivirus must be installed in the computer. Other than that, he also needs to scan and back up the computer constantly. With this, the UFO is unable to attack or do anything to him and his data.

Apart from the storyboarding, part of my job was to create 3D Model, glass shatter and martix rain(after effect) to add into our scene. Each of our group member was given a job to create 3D Models or a virus respectively.
