The document summarizes Jude Mcmichan's initial plans for developing a video game. Their first idea was to make a football game, as football is their favorite sport and FIFA 18 is their favorite existing game. They believe their knowledge of football would allow them to apply the rules well. While football was the initial thought, the game could feature different football mini-games rather than a full match. The document includes a mind map, mood board, and schedule laying out the planning and development process over 5 weeks, with tasks like research, production experiments, and evaluation.

1. Initial Plans
Jude Mcmichan

2. Initial Reaction
• My initial reaction after going through the PowerPoint slide was that I wanted to
make a sports game. The first sport that came to mind was football, because it’s
easily my favourite sport.
• The reason I believe football was my initial plan is because my favourite game is
FIFA 18, the worlds biggest football video game. I also believe it was my first idea
because I have a very good insight on the sport itself, so I would be able to apply
all the rules to my game and hopefully even some of the biggest players from the
real game.
• Although my initial reaction was to make a football game, this could consist of
several games as there is millions of football games across the internet. I could play
it safe and make a 5-a-side game, I could a make set piece game or even a game
where you compete to do the most kick-ups! It may be a very wise idea to chose
football as it gives you many different options to chose from when making your
game also.

6. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected?
Repeated colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
• There is lots of colours running through my mood board and almost all of them are bright and vibrant
colours. This could indicate that my game is very exciting and joyful.
• My mood board also includes lots of sports images, which clearly indicates that my game is sports related,
most specifically football.
• Finally, my game also includes several gaming console logos, such as PlayStation, Xbox and PC. Hopefully
this indicates that intend to include my game on these 3 consoles.
How will your mood board influence your final product?
• In the process of creating my game, I will check the images I have included in my mood board and try and
apply it into my game.
• An example of this would be by applying a stadium behind my game, as I have included several pictures of
fans and sports stadiums in my mood board.
• My mood board is very important because if I can’t remember what needs applying I can use my mood
board to help me.
