who might play the game and what platform they will play it on? Teenagers might play the game as it involves crime, solving crime, staying on the good side of the law and maintaining all rules given. The game is most likely to be played on PS3 or xbox 360. The name of the game is 'RAGING CRIMINALS' this name comes from the idea of out of control criminals who need to be put down and made sure they stay out of trouble. How will you stimulate audience desire to buy the game?

To make the audience to desire to buy the game it needs to have a good name that screams violence, terror for the target audience and needs to be advertised in a way that makes you want to buy the game eg: using bill boards which are big that makes it eye catching.
How will you create marketing materials that attract audience attention to the game?
Marketing materials such as advertising would attract the audiences attention because they would see it on television or online. The target audience who are teenagers tells me that they spend a lot of time on the internet. Therefore there should be advertising on the internet so that they would easily see it and want to buy it to see what it is like.

How will you generate audience interest?

The graphics play an important role in this because that is what will amaze the gamers and get them into it by appearance. On the other hand the story line and the main narrative needs to be very interesting to make sure that they do not get bored and are extremely into it instead exactly like they are the actual characters.

How will you promote audience action?

I will promote audience action by showing some game play to the gamers to show them what its like and how much action is involved.

The font or picture explains what the words are, for example, the word elastic has been stretched because that's what happens with elastic stuff, they stretch! There is a meaning behind every word and something to describe it.

Grand theft auto 5
The picture above is the logo of the game I will be talking about. This is the packaging of the game, it gives you a basic idea of what it will be about.
The game was produced by Rockstar productions and the available platforms the game was made for will be PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
This game looks like it would attractive the young adult and teenage audience as its a type of action and make belief game with scenes of violence, blood ext  So I couldn't see a family playing it together.
The pictures on the cover of the game show just people with guns showing violence mostly with vehicles and a vicious dog.This gives a idea of what the games about, but does not show what its really about. This leaves people to look forward to buying this game to see what its really like.
For my fruit bowl task, I chose to use vibrant colours as it caught my attention first with the thoughts of bright colours. Also I thought that using vibrant colours could be best because there would be a better variety of colours to use on the fruit correctly. Finally great patterns with funky colours were the background just to make it stand out more and not look so bland.

Dirt 3 summer project

Dirt 3

Dirt 3 would probably be the best game I've played so far, its graphics are amazing along with the way the game play is. Dirt 3 is a rally and off road racing game which challenges you to get the quickest time you can on different tracks, at the same time beat all of the other racers you would be competing.The platforms you would play this game on would be on two consoles only which are; xbox360 and play station 3. The price of this game in game shops are £35.00 or above depending on if the shop wants to make a profit, this fantastic game was released on may 24th  2011 and racing fanatics raced their way to finish all the copies.
  • The publisher was a company called Codemasters and the developer was also Codemasters.
This brilliant and exuberant game was advertised on TV on many occasions, it also had a Facebook page along with a twitter page to send out cheats to help people with the stages, and to advertise cool things like free tracks! A you tube account was also made to show videos on how to do tricks and how to get to the highest level.

Codemasters dirt franchise monopolized the rally racing sub genre. Each game is more impressive than the last, and dirt 3 keeps up on what's becoming a tradition when it comes to anything off the track, however, its an intolerable mess. Bring a pair of some headphones and some patience, and dirt 3 is a killer sequel with much needed multi player enhancements...
