WorkingTitle Fanzine
Summary of topic The topic of my fanzine will be onvideogames
and the gamingindustryingeneral.
Whythis topic/subject Videogamesare a huge interesttome and
somethingthatIcan manage to geta lot of
informationandcontributorstopartake in.
What is the purpose ofthis project, or what is
the pointof it? [youcan phrase thisas a point
to getacross, a central argument,etc]
The subjectmatterI’d like tolookintoforvideo
gamingisalongthe linesof “Isgamingevolving,
or deteriorating?”The reasonsIask this
questionisbasedaroundthe factthat video
gamesare somewhatbecomingalesserfactor
of how successful aconsole is,aspeople tend to
focusmore on how well the home consolesare
capable of performing,how accessible itisto
everyone,etc.Obviously, the gamesandhow
goodthey are still important,butaudiences
tendto not focuson themas much.
Intendedaudience and how are you designing
your project to appeal to that audience –
reference stylisticchoicesand intentionshere
Videogame playersare the primaryaudience,
but the niche are videogame playerswhotruly
care aboutwhat isgoingon withinthe industry,
as well asthe historyof gamingin general.
Generally gamingaudiencesare male
dominated,sothatwouldbe the maintarget
audience forgender–thoughit wouldbe
beneficial tonotalienate the fanzine from
female gamerseither. Regardingage,gamers
tendto be placed inbetweenthe 16-39 age
demo
Intendedcontributors [whowill youinterview,
talkto, etc]
In additiontoa lotof personal friendswho
share an interestinvideogames,YouTuber
ThisGenGaming(around200,000 subscribers) is
someone thatI’ll be capable of gettingto
contribute.
Sources for visual materials [thisisphotos,
footage,images,etcyouintendtouse onthe
project– rememberALLWORK SHOULD BE
ORIGINALor fromappropriate archive sources
thismeansphotos/footage youdon’townmust
be modifiedtoyourownstyle andoutputi.e.
rotoscopingphotos,etc]
I’ll be able togather visual materialsfromscreen
capturing(onPC) and if necessary,forconsole
videogame footage andscreenshots,Ishould
be able to use a camera of some sort,whetherit
be phone or actual camera(I testedmyphone
as a camera for capturingvideogame footage
lastyear forthe musicvideoprojectandit
producedsatisfactoryresults).If itcomestobe
that I needphotosfromonline,Iwill make sure
to edittheminsome way.
