1. Pre-Production
Oliver Keppie

2. Pre-production• What are you making? I am going to create a game which will also have a cut-scene as this will be
the part I try to make look the best and spend most of the available time on. My game will be a
cartoon, fighting multiplayer game and it will consist of three different types of art style.
• Why? The reason I chose to create a game over anything else is because I wanted to focus my final
piece on animation and I thought that a game would be the best way for me to incorporate
animation into my work. It also allowed me to try a range of styles and techniques whereas an
animated short film would have to all be one style throughout. I picked this over film, print and the
others because although I enjoyed them, I really wanted more practice in this area to get me
prepared for my second year as I want to focus more on animation. I am hoping to do animation
when I leave college and I think the earlier I start the better. I also find it fun and challenging and I
can still learn more but I am good at it so should get a good grade for the second year.
• Who is it for? My game is for any gender (most likely more males as the ratio for this type of game is
3:1) who are around the ages 12-19 although I will keep in mind that people older and younger may
like to play it. I will be aiming for people who live around and in USA, China, the UK, Japan, France
and Germany as this is where most people play games. I will be aiming it for people who don’t earn
lots of money so the game will be cheap but it will include in game purchases as the kids parents or
if they have a job, may be able to buy things in the game if they enjoy it.
• Where will it appear/on what? It will appear on all Pc, Xbox, PS4 and Nintendo Switch to broaden
the audience types and ages I can get playing my game. It will also increase the overall sales. I am
going to try create some game advertising posters and some of the box art for the game. I will also
try to create an advert if I have any spare time but I am not sure if I will create this.

4. Fonts
Caveman Regular: I have chosen this font to use for the opening shots of the cave
scene as I am going to have a title card for each area. I think this font represents a cave
quite well and it will fit the music choice I am going to pick for this part.
JELLY CRAZIES: This font is going to be used for the main font on the title section of
the game and possibly for the loading screen because I believe it looks quite cartoony
and it suits the style of the game.
Karate: I have chosen this font for the warehouse scene which takes place in Japan. It is
quite a stereotypical font but it can clearly be identified as a Japanese style font.
Petite France: I have picked this font for the France scene because I think it looks very
clean and I think it slightly resembles a French theme.
Spy agency: I have chosen this font for the scenes where it has to introduce the spy
base as I think it looks very slick and spy like. I think this font could work really well if the
letters appear 1 by 1.
DIN Alternate: I think I will be using this font for the subtitles as it is clear and easy to
read. I also think that it looks suitable for a game and it will act well for its roll.

9. Color Scheme
I really like this color scheme and I think it would work really well for the title and loading screen
of the game. The reason I think this is because it reminds me of the work don’t by Felix Colgrave
as he uses a lot of pale or muted greens and blues and it is his style which I am trying to follow
for the opening section of my game.
I think this color scheme would be good for the cave level of my game as I think there are a lot
of nice shades of pinky grey and although I may need some more grey it will work for the
shadows and the blossom trees etc.
This color scheme will be good for my actual game as there is a few browns which are very
popular in the 1930s cartoons and still some greens in there which are muted enough to look
quite vintage. I think to improve this color scheme I will look into finding some more blues and
maybe oranges which could be used for skin and clothes but after that it should be good.

10. CharactersCat: The reason that I
chose this color scheme
for the cat is because
the orange shows a flair
of anger or frustration
and the blue shows his
cold nature and link to
fish. He is the main
villain in my cut-scene
and I think that can be
guessed by the way that
his eyes are the other
way and how he will
snarl his teeth and
crunch his eyebrows as
he speaks when I
animate him. I think his
voice will need to be
deep but not like a
monsters voice just a
deep male voice.
Bee: The reason I have
chosen this color scheme is
because he is a bee so it had
to be black and yellow but I
have chosen the brown
because I think it resembles
a friendly and trustworthy
character. I think for his
voice it would be just a
regular male voice nothing
else needed as he is quite a
simple character. When I
animate him he plays quite
a serious roll but I could still
use over the top cartoony
expressions to make it fit
the style.
Monkey: The reason I
picked this color scheme
is because I think the
bright colors show off a
more jolly personality.
Also the color green
shows that he is a stable
and prosperous
character. The reason I
chose his body to be
black is because that’s
what color chimps are
and his face is just a
lighter tone as it would
be naturally. His voice
will be a slightly higher
more jolly tone as if this
were a movie he would
be the comical release
character.
Bear: The reason I picked these
colors is because the bears fur is
brown and I chose the dark
mossy green because it shows
that bears live in the wilderness
and it fits the dark damp theme
of the cave he lives in. I think his
voice will be deep but not scary
like the cats as the bear is not a
bad guy but the strongest soldier
on the good team. His animation
style will be used to make him
seem scary and ready to fight.
Dog: The reason I wanted the dog
to be all dark brown and have no
clothes is because it stands out
from all of the other characters. I
think in my actual game I will
change the color to a light blonde
so you can see the limbs more and
it looks better animated. The voice
will be a very scared voice which is
done by a girl or someone with a
high voice but it will still be a male
character. The animation style will
be done to make him look
cowardly and lanky so limbs will be
flying around and he will seem like
a clumsy character.

13. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
Work being lost due to computer corruption. Saving all of my work onto a memory stick.
Work being lost because computer shuts down. Save the work every time I complete a task or
every 15 mins.
Work being lost due to loosing it. Keeping my files organised and labelled clearly
so work is easy to save and find.
Health and Safety
There will be no potential health and safety issues because the classroom is already risk assessed
and somebody checks to see if it is still safe every morning.
Resources
Equipment/ Props/ Costume needed Locations needed
Recording device to record voice and some
fighting sound effects.
A quiet room which may be be better
soundproof due to some of the dialogue having
to be shouted.
