first post in a while...


iv nearly finished my last piece of coursework that will allow me to go and see pans labarynth, although i will soon finish the rest of the unfinished coursework.

since we were told about being able to create our own horror film i have had plenty of ideas, most of which will be very difficult to do without a very large budget. but i was thinking of doing a blairwitch project style piece (with a low budget it may be an easier style to recreate) , with some normal over the shoulder, POV, establishing shots and other shots that could put ones level up. my piece will be heavily inflenced by the blairwitch project and blow up.

well thats all until my next post.

(by the way, i will hopefully be going to that club on thursday)

computer games part1

i believe a video game is a game that can be used on a computer or on a consol. these games are usually for entertainment purposes, but can sometimes be used for education aswell. computer games can be played with one person or can be played multiplayer, which means two or more people playing a video game against or with eachother in order to complete or win a game.

computer games have different genres (just like films). some of these genres are horror, fantasy, shoot em' up, beat em' up, sport, role play and many more. some games are based on things like films and programmes, an example of this is the simpsons 'hit and run' and 'the chronicles of narnia'. computer games are very popular and ansd make alotof money from all over the world. xbox 360 made close to $3 billion last year.i think that as games become more generated and developed more people buy them to experience more of a challenge.

the first ever game to be created was cathode ray tube by Thomas T Goldsmith Jr and Estle Ray Mann in 1947. The game was a missile simulator inspired by radar displays from World War II. followed by this was pong in 1972. pong used two colours, black and white and had one sound that was very repetative.

personally i don't play many computer games, however when i was younger i had ps2, which i played a couple of games on. i do now quite like simple games like platform games and mission games.

video games

im really enjoying making my video game, which is quite a suprise really. i don't really play video games myself so im no expert when it comes to designing games. i was struggling slightly with the whole rule thing, but i think im starting to ge the hang of it (the door rule that is). my game is a horror game. i chose horror because i think there is not enough horror games in this world. at the moment i think there is a big market for scary games, and i would recommend all young game makers or designers should start to think about utalising the huge gap in the market. i haven't yet designed any characters in the game but i have desined one character on paper. i have played some of my other class mates games and i think they are really good, but i hate to say it... they are quite samey. i think shooting games are a bit boring once you have shot the first five enemies. although i don't think my game is nearly as developed as there's, i think once my game is finished it's going to be good!

cool guy...
