The document outlines initial plans for a class project exploring video games, print media, or film. The student believes they will perform best creating a sports-focused video game using Photoshop and Premier Pro, as they enjoy gaming and know a lot about sports. Alternatively, they propose a sports magazine covering the upcoming World Cup that would require little additional research. Mind maps and mood boards are included focusing on street and professional football to inspire the game's design from amateur to professional levels.
2. Initial Reaction
• The brief is open for this experiment and therefore there are many idea's I could
explore. This means that it could be anything from what we have done so far, such
as print, video games, and film. Out of these options I think the best one I have
done is video games, so that sticks out as an option as this should be what I can
get the better grade in, as well as this I enjoy playing video games and therefore I
will enjoy making one due to the aspects of everything.
• The video game will more than likely be on sports, as that is my main interest and
would make me more interested in the project, I also know more about this than
other genres, this makes the final product better than it would be in any other
genre, I think this genre is what I am good at because of how much I am interested
in and how much I know about the genre. This would be made mostly on Adobe
Photoshop with the addition of sound effects in Adobe Premier Pro.
• Another option I am thinking of is to do a sports based magazine, this would
include interviews and a preview of the world cup, this is as this is the biggest
possible thing that is happening in sports this year, and therefore will attract a
large audience. I also know a lot already on these subjects and wouldn’t need to
add much research, as in the past I have made things based on this so I know
plenty of facts as well as having a lot of my own opinions on certain teams within
the competition.
7. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected? Repeated
colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
• They are all based on football as this is the main part of my game.
They are on different parts of the game, such as the first few images
show street football and football league where as the next few then
show large stadiums and large fan bases, showing the journey from
the start to end of the game.
• As well as this a lot of the images show things that will inspire my
game, such as other games menu’s and camera angles, .
How will your mood board influence your final product?
• It will influence my final product through showing me how I could
possibly create parts of my game, as well as showing real life
versions of things that could be in the game.
