2. Initial Reaction
My initial response was that I had no idea what I
was going to do. I started to think what game
type I wanted to make, I thought side scrolling
was the way forward. I then thought what I
wanted to do with other areas he game, this
helped me to slowly get little bits and pieces of
ideas, that I was going to try and develop into
more whole ideas. These bits and pieces where
simple concepts of characters, game type,
colours etc.
6. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected? Repeated
colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
• When I started this week I set out to think about making a side scrolling, like
Assassin’s Creed Chronicles. This is why there is quite a few images with faint but
effective skyline backgrounds, of cities, hills etc. This was also reflected in the
images of A.C Chronicles. As far as image styles, there was one. It was that there
was quite a few images of layers of colour, which looks like city skylines. In
addition, the majority of the images used are related to a side scrolling type of
game.
How will your mood board influence your final product?
• I think my mood board will help me stay inspired, as the many images are great to
see aspects that would be useful to show in the animation.
