3. One idea I have is to make a game
using Blender 3d. I have experience
making a third person game, and also
a maze game with pieces to collect.
Using this software I could create a
game, the only issue with this would be
that it would take a long time, and at
the end I am not sure how to make it
into an online playable game. At the
moment the only way to play the
games I have made is to have Blender
installed, and to have a folder with the
right files for the game to reference to. I
could make my game downloadable,
and the fact that it will take a long time
doesn’t matter, as it is one of my goals
anyway to create a game. This would
be the most ambitious project.

4. Another idea if the game one seems
too difficult, would be to make an
animation either using Blender 3d or
Autodesk Maya, both programs I own
at home. Preferably I would use the
Maya program in order to get better at
using the program, as I would like to
use Blender only for its game engine,
as Maya produces much more
impressive animations. I would also
produce some music to go with this.

5. I could also do a dissertation on online
news and newspapers, comparing how
the audience consume the two and why
newspapers may or may not completely
be replaced. I did a similar essay for my
GCSE Media and so I know about the
subject, however, I feel that would only
be able to write that amount if I had
another subject, or including words just
for the sake of the words, which I don’t
agree with.

6. For the performance I could get someone to
record me hula hooping, possibly with fire or
LED lights, and do my tricks with a camera
angle that shows of each one best. Then I
could write about where and how I learnt it
from etc. Also about the safety of performing
around an audience or with fire.
