2 Narrative Structure

1

THE GATHERING

Arrival → Orientation

Softly lit pathway lined with small paper lanterns, welcome hosts with branded lantern tokens, brand story wall with backlit panels.

Guests arrive to an intimate, welcoming atmosphere. QR onboarding initiates personalized journey app. Ambient soundscape of soft acoustic instruments and gentle chimes.

Emotional Note: Intimate, welcoming, curious anticipation

2

THE JOURNEY

Immersion → Engagement → Education

Themed zones with distinct color temperatures. Immersion zone with projection mapping, engagement zone with interactive installations, education zone with expert presentations.

Guests flow through zones, each lit distinctly. Interactive installations where touch/gesture controls light patterns. Gamified challenges to 'collect light elements' for personal lantern. Throughout, guests build their digital/physical lantern through participation.

Emotional Note: Discovery, play, gradual excitement build

3

THE SYMPHONY

Collective Peak → Conversion → Legacy

Central amphitheatre with 360° projection mapping surfaces, theatre-grade sound system, tiered or open floor standing.

Emcee introduces Symphony Ignition concept. Countdown begins. As each guest activates their lantern, their unique light joins the projection. At critical mass, the Symphony Ignition triggers—massive audiovisual crescendo, synchronized projection mapping, musical climax, brand message reveal. Post-climax conversion moment with emotion-hot CTAs.

Emotional Note: Awe, unity, empowerment, joy
