11. Client research:
One of Irn Bru’s key phrases was the iconic “Irn Bru gets you through”, this was effective as the majority of Irn Bru’s 21st
century advertisements focused on this and built the short story around this. The idea that irn bru gets you through is

it some situations it might get you through. A.G. Barr P.L.C. was first founded in 1904.

22. Individual Idea:
Irn bru advergame: racing game. Your last place in the race, you then
turn to Irn bru instead of petrol, this transforms your car into a faster
car , as it’s a rocket car, you then get to race all the other other
slower, non irn bru cars.
You can even choose your drivers gender, male and female. The
more irn bru you collect, the more fuel , if the fuel runs out then you
crash.
Or
Advergame idea *1
23. Individual Idea:
Advergame idea *2
The idea is an infinite runner , which picks up speed , as the
track is a treadmill. Where as you run you have to avoid
obstacles which are rolling toward you , these might be cans
of other soft drinks , that are not irn bru. While all that is
happening you can absorb the irn bru can power-up, this
increase strength and health for a while, meaning you don’t
have to avoid the obstacles while the effects are on. This
would also use the guy from the tv advert.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R19BWemaYzYAdvergame:
I think the vibrant colour combination worked well to show what I was advertising , even if I didn't’t clearly show what it
was. I wanted to go for a very simple and blocky style. I think in the end , looking back my advergame didn't’t piece together
as well as I thought it would, so basically I think the editing that did didn't’t work well in the end, however I did get an
insight into the world of editing products , it showed me that it takes time and a lot of effort. I am trying to improve my
video game work. One way that I would do this is by spending more time o the animation aspect of my work, this is an area
where I was lacking. Another way I would improve is in the editing aspect , as I think I could have pieced it all together a lot
better if I had had more time to use the software and practice my work.
