34. Evaluation

35. Research
• My Reasearch which took place really allowed me to understand how
this style of game/movie is portrayed in the media, and the designs
which people like and are engaged with, along with designs which
people do not like as much and aren’t as engaged with.
• Without the research it wouldn’t have worked as getting ideas from
similar products helps develop your potential designs.
• Th weaknesses of the research was the time spent on it, as when you
are doing a project such as this one, it is easy to rush onto the actual
task rather than the preparing phase.

36. Planning
• My Planning helped direct the flow of the production for the project,
allowing me very rarely to hit a wall with no direction, however the
plan also meant I had something detailed to follow and this really
ensured each factor had all information and details which appeal to
an audience which this movie targets most.
• If a was to do my planning again I would add as much detail as
possible as you can never have enough support from your plan when
doing the actual project.

37. Time Management
• My Time management wasn’t the worst ever seen however this is
certainly a learning curve as time management should be part of the
planning.
• I should have set dates and times for tasks I wanted completed in that
session, I feel like the productivity levels would have been much
higher and it would have benefitted me massively

38. Technical Qualities
I most enjoyed the design stages of the project as it allowed my ideas
to finally be expressed into work, but this wouldn’t have happened
without using small parts of many different ideas to eventually make
my own, as it inspired many different styles into the game, as the
project developed, my thoughts and ideas became better and better
seeing more and more designs of previous successful games and
marketing campaigns.
For my audio I merged different I edited a track using some resources
from epidemic sound. It allowed me to take certain parts of tunes,
and then merge with others which matched. Merged on GarageBand

39. Aesthetic Qualities
I would say my most aesthetically pleasing work would have been my
movie poster, I really like how it came along, the colours all fit together,
the text it nice to look at and effects such as the shattered glass
splitting the different characters away from each other tells the story
on its own.

40. Aural Qualities
I think the audio suits the game well to a certain degree, however with
more time there is certainly room for improvement, as it is the same
constant tune throughout the clip, whereas it could have changed
when onto the game, and had more variants throughout it, however it
is something to learn from for any future projects including an audio
track.

41. Audience Appeal
I Think I designed everything to the style of the audience, I Identified
the main factors from designs of other competitors and successful
marketing campaigns of the similar audience, which could only benefit
my ideas going forward into the project.

42. Overall strengths and weaknesses of the final
package.

+ Designs
+ Research
+ Understanding of Audience
