This document discusses different issues around targeting audiences in the video game and media industries. It provides information on video game rating systems like PEGI and how they classify games based on their content for different age groups. It also describes differences between casual and serious gamers, with casual gamers typically playing easier, family-oriented games while serious gamers seek out realistic, competitive multiplayer titles. One issue highlighted is how to satisfy both types of audiences. Additionally, a study is discussed showing that many parents allow their children to play games rated above their age, despite classification systems, which can cause problems when targeting audiences.

P1E – video games regulations
The PEGI (Pan European Game Information) system provides age ratings and content descriptors for video games sold in Europe. It aims to help consumers make informed choices about games. Games are given ratings of 3, 7, 12, 16, or 18 based on the level of violence, sexual content, language, and other factors they contain. A controversy arose in 2005 when a mod was released unlocking a hidden sex mini-game in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, resulting in the game being re-rated as adults only in some regions.
Pegi Powerpoint
The PEGI (Pan-European Game Information) system provides age ratings for video games sold in Europe to help inform parents' purchasing decisions. It was launched in 2003 to replace individual age rating systems across countries with a single, unified system now used in 30 European countries. Games are rated based on their content related to violence, language, fear, sex, drugs, gambling, and discrimination. Ratings include ages 3, 7, 12, 16, and 18. The highest rating of 18 is used when a game contains highly realistic violence, explicit sexual content or illegal drug use.

PEGI is a rating system used in Europe to classify the content of video games, movies, and other digital entertainment. It assigns age ratings from 3 to 18 based on the content in a game or film. Lower ratings of 3, 7, and 12 focus on violence and frightening scenes. Higher ratings of 16 and 18 contain increasingly graphic depictions of violence, sexual content, nudity, drugs, racism and discrimination, gambling, and the ability to interact with others online. The highest rating of 18 is for content only suitable for adults and may involve a high level of violence and all other objectionable content types.

Video game
The document discusses the rating system for video games. It outlines the six rating labels (C, E, E10, T, M, A) and describes the types of content associated with each rating. The goals are for students to understand the rating system and what games are appropriate for their age. The document also notes that online gameplay cannot be rated since players can communicate, but muting other players can help make online play safer.
Audience profile
The survey analyzed responses about the film "The Descent." Only half the respondents enjoyed the film, possibly due to not liking the horror genre. Most people watched it at school rather than a cinema, so may not have paid full attention. The majority were not scared by the film, again possibly due to where or how they watched it. Understanding the target audience is important so the filmmakers know how to market it. The profile describes an 18-year-old male student who enjoys action movies and comic books and would be likely to see an action horror film such as "The Descent" with friends.
Video games
The document provides information on video game demographics, the history of gaming, debates around whether games make kids violent, and a conclusion. It notes that 62% of gamers are male, the average gamer age is 33, and 69% of US households play games. Key events in gaming history include the release of Pong in 1958, the Odyssey home console in 1972, Pac-Man in 1980, and the introduction of first-person shooters in the 1990s. Studies have shown mixed results on links between violence and aggression, but gaming may provide benefits like improved problem-solving skills. The conclusion is that games are here to stay and can have educational value when used appropriately.
Games in the media
The document discusses arguments around whether video games cause violence. It notes that the video game industry is often blamed for issues like school shootings, but research suggests multiple factors contribute to violence, not just video games. While some studies found people who play violent games are more aggressive, others note these people may have been aggressive to begin with. The document concludes that games are not a primary cause of violence, as most game players do not act violently, and factors like childhood experiences have more influence on behavior.

The Interpretation Of Videogames In The Media
This document summarizes several articles that discuss how video games are portrayed in the media. Many of the articles cited use logical, emotional and ethical appeals to argue that video games can negatively influence children by exposing them to graphic violence or sexual content. However, the document also references articles that discuss positive uses of video games, such as for military training simulations or detecting medical conditions. In conclusion, it asserts that the media often criticizes video games without fully understanding them.
Understanding Tomorrow’s Gamers, Today! – A Detailed Analysis of European Gam...
Delivered at Casual Connect Europe 2016
In just a few years, today's gamer kids will become the core audience of our industry. Hence understanding their gaming behavior and attitudes is key for game developers and publishers. In this presentation, Michael will present data and insights from GameByte™ Kids, Interpret's syndicated research product, which surveyed kids in 10 key gaming markets, including the US, UK, France, Germany, Australia, Brazil, Russia, China, South Korea, and Japan. He will focus on comparing kids from the three European countries to their American peers, highlighting both commonalities and interesting differences and nuances. Key topics covered in his presentation will include kids gaming timeshare, walletshare, and mindshare, top game titles across multiple platforms, mobile gaming motivations and behaviors including spending habits and parent-kid interaction, and insights on Minecraft.
Media campaign
The media campaign for The Last of Us utilized consistent branding across various platforms like posters, trailers, and merchandise to communicate the game's message and appeal to its target audience. Naughty Dog sought to generate intrigue about the story and world through cryptic imagery and preservation of a somber color scheme and fonts. Multiple trailers provided gradual reveals to maintain interest without losing viewers. The coordinated marketing succeeded in selling 17 million copies and raising global awareness of the popular survival game.
Game cover analysis
This document compares and contrasts the game covers of F1 2012, Assassin's Creed, and Kinectimals by examining their themes, age restrictions, target audiences, and use of color. F1 2012 is aimed at ages 3+ and uses blue to target males for its non-violent racing theme. Assassin's Creed has an 18+ restriction due to its violent assassinations and gore, targeting males with darker colors. Kinectimals has no age limit and uses a variety of bright colors to appeal to both genders and all ages for its peaceful animal theme.
Proposal guidance 1
This game is a 2D side-scrolling shooter where the player controls a 38-year old man named Andy who must save kidnapped school children from the dungeon of Mr. Franks. The game takes inspiration from Super Mario Bros in its side-scrolling gameplay and Contra in its shooter elements. It is targeted towards male audiences aged 16-19 and will have mild swearing, gun violence, and blood. Legal considerations include ensuring the game receives a 15+ rating and avoiding too closely copying the gameplay of similar titles like Contra.
Proposal horror game
This proposal is for a survival horror game called "The Eternals". It aims to entertain horror game fans through scaring the player using sound, lighting, and imagery. The game will feature PVE combat, survival mechanics where players must manage resources, and both linear and non-linear story elements. Players must figure out the story and solve puzzles to progress. It targets male players aged 16-24 from working class backgrounds who enjoy survival and combat in horror games. The game is aimed at a PEGI 16 rating, and will feature violent, sexual, and frightening content including cult activities and body horror.

Jess Adaptation Hunger Games
The document discusses adapting the film "The Hunger Games" into a video game. It will keep the title as "The Hunger Games" but change it slightly to "The Hunger Game". The genre will remain science fiction adventure focusing on the country of Panem where children compete in an annual death match called the Hunger Games. Players will control characters Katniss and Peeta and make choices that impact the narrative. The target audience is fans of the books and films, primarily males and females ages 12-30. Budget constraints and appealing to this specific audience could impact success. Opportunities exist in attracting new audiences by differentiating from typical video game audiences and leveraging the popularity of the films. Cut scenes
Question Four
The target audience for the media product is males aged 15-21 who enjoy violence, action, and taking risks. They likely live in socioeconomic groups C2/D and have a relaxed lifestyle punctuated by daring acts. They are interested in technology and social media and enjoy violent video games and TV shows. The film would receive a 15 rating from the BBFC for strong horror and threats but no sexual content or sustained focus on sadism. It aims to appeal to middle-aged teenagers.
Video game addiction
The document discusses video game addiction, defining it as excessive gaming that interferes with daily life. It provides key figures, showing that the average gamer is 32 years old and spends 18 hours per week gaming, and 10% of gamers develop an addiction. The causes of addiction discussed are finding confidence and satisfaction in the virtual world that games provide. The aftermaths include social withdrawal, emotional and physical issues, and loss of control. Suggested solutions are setting time limits, engaging in outdoor activities, and avoiding constant computer use. The conclusion is that while not officially a disorder, video game addiction can degrade social life.
Gaming primary research presentation
The document summarizes the results of two questionnaires about gaming preferences. It finds that most respondents were male aged 11-16 or older. The most popular game was GTA V, while RPG was the most popular genre. Most would spend £40-£50 on a game and favored the PlayStation console. Rockstar was the most liked company, while Ubisoft was the least, and most respondents did not rent games.
Video Game Addiction : Don't Let It Happen To You !
This document discusses video game addiction, defining it as a chronic disease characterized by impaired control over gaming behavior. It notes that students, adults, and children can be at risk, with 40% of some online gamers estimated to be addicted. Video game addiction can cause issues like neglecting responsibilities and social life. Treatment involves therapy and reducing gaming time. However, video games also have benefits like developing talent and confidence when played without addiction. Examples of successful professional gamers are provided.

!!! The 7 Essential Arts - Suggestions for an Alternative University Educatio...
The following slides are meant as an invitation to discuss a new model of education that has been designed to teach young adults to think creatively and holistically and to encourage them to apply their newly acquired insights and skills to help solve existing global problems and make a positive difference in the world.
The first part of my contribution tries to IDENTIFY what I think of as the main flaws of the current North American university education. My observations in this section are based on my personal teaching experience at two North American Universities, UBC and FDU Vancouver, but are, I believe, representative for many other educational institutions, both in North America and elsewhere.
In the second part I present a model of university education that is meant to counteract the flaws identified in part one and thus to TRANSFORM the current education system to make it more meaningful for the students who participate in it as well as beneficial for their communities and, ultimately, for the rest of the world.
What I hope to accomplish by presenting my model at this point are the following three objectives: 1) to participate in the current dialogue about alternative models of university education and the role these models can play in helping solve as many of our current global problems as possible, 2) to get as much concrete feedback about my suggested model as possible, and 3) to find some people who are interested in helping me test my alternative university – in the form of a pilot project – in reality.
Once the model has been tested at one place – and proven to be successful – it can be GLOBALIZED and introduced in other parts of the world as well. For although I have primarily developed this model for North America, I think it can be used everywhere – of course with some adjustments to the specific cultural and local conditions – in order to help create more happiness, health, peace, and sustainability all over the world.

Group 1 -_using_games
This document discusses using games in the classroom for CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) lessons. It provides reasons for using games, such as offering flexibility, promoting interdependence and independence, helping break down barriers between subjects, and generating student interest and engagement. However, it notes games should only be used if the objectives are well-defined, the game is appropriate, fun for students, and easy for them to play with clear learning purposes. Educators should consider the language, age, timing, grouping, student background, materials, and type of game. It provides examples of game websites for different ages and lesson examples that use games.
Games and Learning. Presentation
Games have become a major industry, with $25.1 billion in consumer spending in 2010 alone in the US. Research has shown that games can improve visual acuity, attention, help learn history and geography, increase mood and decrease stress, and increase calorie expenditure. Games are designed with goals, feedback, and opportunities to apply learning in new situations, aligning with contemporary learning theory. Learning theory and game design may enhance each other in the future.

Games are designed with goals, feedback, and opportunities to apply learning in new situations, aligning with contemporary learning theory. Learning theory and game design may enhance each other in the future.
Meaningful Learning through Creative Education
The main focus of education should not be purely vocational but rather in nurturing interests, skills, and knowledge across an array of topics that are personally meaningful and individualized to each student. The ultimate goal education should be to prepare students for life in all its complexities - creative learning is a key element in achieving this goal.
Games Based Learning Presentation
This document discusses game-based learning (GBL) and gamification in education. It defines game mechanics as rules and feedback loops intended to produce enjoyable gameplay. Common game mechanics mentioned include points/XP, levels/leveling up, achievements, and quests. The document also discusses concepts like flow, fiero, and affinity groups in gamified classrooms. Characteristics of a gamified classroom mentioned are starting students at level 0 and allowing them to level up to an A through quest-based learning. Different types of games for GBL are also listed such as tabletop, digital, and mobile games.
Management vs leadership
While management and leadership must work together, they have distinct roles. A manager focuses on planning, organizing, coordinating, and ensuring things run smoothly through systems and structure. A leader inspires and motivates people by originating new ideas and challenging the status quo with a long-term vision through trust and innovation. Effective organizations require both management and leadership working in tandem.

Potential Audience
The document discusses potential age ratings for the author's video game based on an analysis of similar games and audience research. The author considers ratings from both the PEGI (European) and ESRB (American) systems. Based on a game similar to the author's (Crysis 3) receiving an 18 rating for its realistic violence and language, the author thinks an 18 rating may be appropriate. However, a survey of friends found that most would play a game with an 18 rating. The author will need to review the content descriptors and categories of both rating systems to determine the most suitable rating.
P1 e – video games regulations
The PEGI (Pan European Game Information) system provides age ratings for video games sold in Europe, aiming to help parents make informed choices. It uses a single, unified rating scale from PEGI 3 to PEGI 18 that considers factors like violence, language, and sexual content. In 2005, the discovery of hidden sexually explicit content in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, dubbed the "Hot Coffee" mod, sparked controversy and led the game to be re-rated as adults-only in some regions and have future versions patched to remove the content.

PEGI notes
PEGI (Pan-European Game Information) provides age ratings for entertainment content like video games, films, and apps across Europe to provide guidance for consumers, especially parents. It was created in 2003 to standardize age ratings previously done by individual countries. Major gaming companies support PEGI's system. PEGI ratings range from ages 3 to 18 and consider factors like violence, language, frightening content, gambling, sexual content, and substance use to determine at what age such content is appropriate.
Games in the media
The document discusses arguments around whether video games cause violence. It notes that the video game industry is often blamed for issues like school shootings, but research suggests multiple factors contribute to violence, not just video games. While some studies found people who play violent games are more aggressive, others note those people may have been aggressive to begin with. The document concludes that games are not a primary cause of violence, as most game players do not act violently, and factors like childhood experiences have more influence on behavior.
Who is Gaming in India and Why: Demystifying the Video Game Landscape
This document discusses video games in India. It begins by defining different types of gamers from casual to hardcore. It then outlines the popular gaming platforms in India which are mainly mobile phones, PCs for online/flash games, and some tablets. The bulk of gamers are aged 14-25 and come from major cities. Roughly 90% of kids age 8-14 play games online. Popular genres include music, sports, and action games. The document closes by suggesting ways for brands to connect with gamers through in-game ads, sponsored games, or integrating products within existing games.
Audiencesandvideogames
Videogame players are often compared to drug addicts who seek an instant rush or fix from playing electronic games. A 2006 study by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) found that younger gamers are influenced to play violent titles due to peer pressure, and negative media coverage increases interest in these games. However, the BBFC also noted that graphic violence in games can upset younger players.

Videogames have received criticism for potentially causing negative effects such as increased aggression and violence. However, research on this topic has produced mixed results, with no definitive proof that game effects last long-term or transfer to real-world behavior. Younger gamers are sometimes influenced by older siblings to play inappropriate games, though the classification system aims to prevent this.

PEGI is the regulatory body that rates video games in Europe based on their content. It assigns age ratings from 3 to 18 years old to inform consumers about a game's content, such as violence, language, sexual content and more. Higher age ratings indicate more realistic or extreme depictions of violence, language, sexual content, gambling and drugs. PEGI has the power to ban games it deems too inappropriate, such as Manhunt which was linked to a real-life murder and contained very graphic violence. The age ratings help ensure games are only purchased by consumers old enough to play their content.
Fortnite analysis
Here are potential answers to the exam questions:
1. PEGI (Pan European Game Information) regulates video games in Europe.
2. Explorers and mainstreamers are two audiences for Fortnite based on psychographics.
3. Regulation through ratings like PEGI 12 impacts Fortnite by determining what age can play and influencing the game's content.
4. An audience would want to play Fortnite for social interaction and fun with friends or because it is a popular game many others are playing.
5. The impact of video games on audiences can be debated both for and against negative effects. Uses and gratifications theory explains people play for diversion, identity, relationships, and surveillance. Games like Fort

Genre research
This document summarizes the history and evolution of the zombie genre in cinema. It begins with early influential films from the 1920s-1940s that helped establish tropes of the genre. George Romero is credited with beginning the modern zombie film with Night of the Living Dead in 1968, setting conventions like flesh-eating zombies and survival in an enclosed space. The genre then expanded with Italian zombie films and comedic takes in the 2000s, as well as fictional depictions of "real" zombies.
Genre research2
Progressive rock began in 1969 with King Crimson's album "In the Court of the Crimson King" and attempted to extend the boundaries of rock music through complex arrangements, virtuosic musicianship, innovative technology, and influences from genres like classical, jazz, and psychedelia. Key pioneering prog bands of the 1970s included King Crimson, Genesis, Emerson Lake & Palmer, and Rush. While prog waned in popularity in the late 1970s, it maintained a cult following and saw a resurgence in the 1980s with bands like Marillion gaining mainstream success. Prog continues today with classic bands, new acts, and the use of modern technology.

Introduction to deconstructing music videos
This document summarizes different types of music videos and their characteristics. It identifies three main types: videos where the artist lip syncs to the song, videos that tell the story of the song, and videos that interpret the song through a narrative. Effective music videos generally reflect the genre of music, have visuals that relate to the music and lyrics, use close-ups of the artist to build their brand, and may reference looking or other media.
Genre research2
Progressive rock began in 1969 with King Crimson's album "In the Court of the Crimson King" and attempted to extend the boundaries of rock music through complex arrangements, virtuosic musicianship, and influences from genres like classical music and jazz. Key bands from 1969-1978 included King Crimson, Genesis, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and Rush. Progressive rock faced a backlash in the late 1970s but has since seen a revival with bands new and old continuing to push musical and technical boundaries.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Games aimed at different ages
- 1. Games Aimed At Different Ages
- 2. PEGI
- 3. Suitable for all ages, some comical violence is accepted, e.g. Toy Story or Bugs Bunny The child should not be able to associate with the characters on screen
- 4. Any game that would normally be rated at 3 but contains some possibly frightening scenes or sounds may be considered suitable in this category
- 5. Videogames that show violence of a slightly more graphic nature towards fantasy character and/or non graphic violence towards human-looking characters or recognisable animals, as well as videogames that show nudity of a slightly more graphic nature would fall in this age category. Any bad language in this category must be mild and fall short of sexual expletives.
- 6. Any depiction of violence or sexual activity reaching the same level as would be expected to look like in real life. Also any extreme language
- 7. Applied when the level of violence reaches a stage where it becomes a depiction of gross violence and/or includes elements of specific types of violence Advertising ties in with the PEGI rating, as the Dead Island trailer is not aimed towards those not around the age of 18 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZqr G1bdGtg
- 8. Differences between casual and serious gamers
- 9. Casual Gamers Casual gaming mainly consists of free online gaming, family orientated gaming. And handheld devices like the PSP and the DS. Casual gamers normally play games that are revolved around easy to play games that are mainly for fun. They can also play games that consist of mind boggling puzzle games. The iPod touch is another aspect of the casual gaming universe that introduces apps with fun quirky mini games to the casual gaming audience. Family orientated games have been mostly seen on the Nintendo wii. Which has been found to be good at bringing together a family to play a game that is suitable for all ages.
- 10. Serious Gamers Serious gamers are an audience that expect from games like shooters, rpg and adventure to involve skill, practice, competition and fun. They play games that have multiplayer's that involve many gamers from around the globe competing over scores and skill. This is seen in the highly popular call of duty games were players compete online for score and skill. Serious gamers look for games that give hd photo realistic graphics. Realistic game play involved in campaigns and multiplayer's. They expect new aspects in their favourite genres to appear in the next games. They play games that aree immersive and addictive to the audiences the games target.
- 11. Issues relating the differences between casual and serious gaming The issues involving these two different audiences to the games industry is firstly you cant please both of these audiences with one game. Which makes it harder for the games industry to make profit out of all gamers. Secondly the games industry have to make sure they are giving the audience they have targeted for there games is what the audience expect.
- 12. What are the issues raised when targeting audiences within a media industry you have studied? A study commissioned by the UK games industry found that parents let children play games for adults, even though they knew they were 18- rated. Like movies, all games receive an age classification. This works through a two-tier system involved the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) and a voluntary European setup known as Pegi. But the research presented at the ELSPA(Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association) summit in London suggests that few parents pay much attention to the age ratings. Parents perceive age ratings as a guide but not as a definite prohibition. Of those parents surveyed, 40% had allowed their children to watch a film classified above their age, and a quarter (25%) had allowed them to play age- inappropriate video games.
