Exploring Fonts

Hi People!


So our task was to see the fonts and decide which fonts we should use to match the word. So here's what I got...


Camera Shots

Hi Bloggers!

Camera shots

This post will be about the different camera shots we took in class:

This shot is an over shoulder shot of the the teacher and new pupil having a conversation. This lets viewers know that a new student is being welcomed into the classroom by the teacher.





This shot is a over the shoulder one of the teacher and pupil. The teacher is instructing the pupil were his seat is.
This shot is a medium shot of the new student working. This helps to infer that the student is working in his book.
This shot is an over the shoulder shot of pupils bullying the new student. This would make people think perhaps he is being bullied.
This one is a medium close up of the new student and a medium shot of the bullies. This shot shows he is being physically bullied by the students.
This is a medium close up of another teacher who has observed the bullying. The teacher shows up at the door and doesn't looked pleased by the disgusting behaviour.
This is a long shot of all the characters. Teacher is telling students off.
This is a close up of the names of the bullies going onto the consequence board. The students are now in serious trouble.

Fruit Bowl Colours

HI!

Our activity was to colour in a picture of a fruit bowl using the colours either representing the colours from; Urban. Winter, Expensive, Autumn, Fresh, Vibrant.

To complete the colouring of the picture, I used 'vibrant' colours...



Firstly, I got a vibrant picture from Google images and put it into the top right corner
Then, I saved the picture (without colours) and opened it on to photoshop.
To fill it in I used the eyedropper tool to pick a colour from the vibrant image and used the paint bucket tool after I had chosen what colours to use
Finally, after filling in the picture with these amazing colours, the result is in front of you!

Video Game Analysis Using 'LIAR'

HI,

The video game ad I chose to analyse was  Battle-Field 3 on PC.

This is an action packed game, a part of the battle-field series, with all different pack features including; 4 Legendary maps also with better, more improved weapons and much more.

L- The language used is more formal and is very 'straight to the point' in what the game contains
I- This game is from big names in the gaming industry (SEGA/DICE/EA) and because of the name they've made this attracts customers and the game can also be charged at premium rates
A- (28-35yrs - male)The audience looks to be more male than female as there is a male character on the front cover. Furthermore, with the emphasis of the background, which consists of army tanks and helicopters, supports the point that this game is targeted at males.
R- The game has been designed for males and has been shown as a violent game as well with lots of action as well. Also, in the texts that have been put in the ad the parts that they have deliberately wanted to make eye catching are written in another colour (orange) because this information can be the company's strongest persuasive piece of text...

Video-game Research

Hi Bloggers!





The game I researched on was Fifa 13.
This game is available on; Playstation, Xbox, PC, Wii U, iOS

The main institute of development was: Electronic Arts (EA)
Fifa 13 was released on September 25th 2012 (Other dates according to location), and was for sale for around £40. 


Fifa 13 sold more than one million copies (1.23 million units in 48hours) in the UK in its first week of release and was the fourth game to do so after; Call of duty: MW2, Call of duty: Black ops and Call of duty: MW3. It was also topped on the UKIE charts on all formats week ending September 29 2012. 4.5 million copies were sold worldwide in five days, with 7.4 million units sold four weeks after its release, which makes the game the biggest videogame launch of 2012.


Fifa 13 was marketed by: Buses, Video (Youtube, TV, etc.) , social networking (On Facebook the official Fifa 13 page has over 50,000 'likes') and billboards...

(This is the official fifa 13 TV ad for playstation)



The T.V ad gave across a message that you are the player, 'a new signing' ( We see this as a person in the video held a news paper which read 'new signing' and the picture of 'the new signing' was the person who is about to play Fifa) This message can get across to people in other parts of the world were English is not the main language used, so all EA have to do is change the text on the newspaper from English into other languages based on where the Advertisement is expected to be shown (i.e in Spain they'll use Spanish)


The targeted audience for Fifa 13 would be around 10-30 years old (Male).
This game was a massive success worldwide as we can see the figures of how many units were sold (and are still increasing) In my opinion, I think that the marketing and promotion campaigns were successful not only because of the figures stated which show how much was sold but also because the advertisements are intriguing, one of the things that makes me feel this way about the campaign was the fact that great names all over the world were in the Ad, three of them being; Messi (The world's best footballer), Benzema ( One of the great players worldwide), Roy Hodgson (England national team manager). Furthermore, the campaign was made a success as it showed things that weren't always expected to happen ( An ordinary person, sitting on the sofa, and playing a video game... I'll say that's pretty cool...)

There is also Fifa 14 soon releasing, as a part of the fifa series, on the 27th of September.

It's just these details all put together making Fifa 13 the best sports game the world has ever experienced... yet.
