The Angles and Shots task

For this project we were asked to work in groups and the task were to create a little story like movie but by only taking pictures like a little story board by using the establishing shot, long shot, medium shot, medium close up shot, close up shot, extreme close up shot and the over-the-shoulder shot. Also we used the high angle, low angle and the unusual perspective.


In this picture this shows me aka the victim walking up the hill and the show used here was a high angle shot to make the victim look weak and small







Here we see the bullies callin down the victim and we took this shot by using the low angle shot to make the bullies big and strong.

Here we see the the victim and the bullies meet and the shot we used to take this was an establishing shot. This sets the scene of what is going to happened next and give the audience a slight idea

Here we see one of the bullies calling the victim all sorts of names and laughing in his face. The shot we used here was a medium shot and this will capture a shot of some from head to waist

Here we see the victim starts to cry as he was being rude at and the shot we used here was an extreme close up and this emphasises the shot of the vixctims tear rolling down his face 

Here we see the victim is getting beaten up by the bullies. the shot we used here was an over-the-shoulder shot to show the action and expression of both people

Here we continue to see the victim being beaten up by the bullies. The shot we used here was an over-the-shoulder shot

Here we see the victim is hiding from the bullies after finally escaping from them. The shot used here was an medium to long shot.

Here we see the victim is again found by the bullies and is again being bullied as he is now being thrashed by them. the shot used here was a long to medium shot.

The Key Concepts Of A Game

The title of this game is called Call Of Duty Black Ops 2, the console logo is the Roman form of the number 2, the background image is of a gut in the dark from the special forces holding a gun in his right hand and a knife in his left. the web address for the main Call Of Duty website is http://www.callofduty.com/. The effect created here is to persuade the audience to buy their game as the company has sold many game which were big hits or possibly games of the year.

The organisation behind this game are Treyarch and Activision as they are multinational companies who release big hits almost every year and this game was released at 16,000 stores as an midnight release worldwide and within 24 hours of the games release it sold $500 million beating the previous game in 2011 Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3

The audience for this game is both for boys and girls but will be played more by boys as the game contains violence and weapons. But there are some girls out there that do enjoy violent type of games.

This stealthy cover has a man from the special forces in the dark with a knife and pistol in his hand while a 2 beams of light shines down his face, with the game title above his head and the multinational organisations on the bottom left.

The fruit bowl task

The fruit bowl task is when we have to apply colours from a image of your choice from a selection of words and I chose the word expensive so we had to use the eyedropper tool to select a colour from or image and use the paint bucket tool to fill in the colourless fruits. I applyed used the lighting effect so it can give tone to make sure the fruit or object looks like they are in one piece as there were signs of lighting. I chose the picture of a watch as it goes well with the word expensive, and the colours I used for it are purple, yellow, orange, brown, green and grey.

Summer Project






The game i have chose to do for my summer project is Need For Speed Most Wanted and the reason why I have chosen to do this game is because the graphics looks amazing by looking at its trailer. The genre for this game is racing as this a car game and its platform is on Microsoft windows, PlayStation 3, X Box 360, PlayStation Vita, Android and IOS.  The institution for this game is Electronic Arts and its publisher is Criterion games. The price for this game is at around £50 as it is the latest Need For Speed game and Most Wanted is the 19th longest running title in the Need For Speed series and was released world wide. The number of copies sold for Need For Speed Most Wanted is 1,610,000. Loads of reviews for Need For Speed Most Wanted says it is the best racing game you will ever play or there is no other racing game that can beat Most Wanted.

The game was marketed at E3 as it was officially announced there world wide and has won two awards for being recognised as the best racing/driving game as it has won the award 2013 BAFTA award and the Spike Video Game award and for it being the Best British game and Best Online Game.

The game uses car used in the real world into the virtual world. You can change cars by looking for cars around the whole game map and by going inside it den you would have unlocked the car but they are in various parts of the map for e.g. alley ways, dirt roads, high ways, and on top of car parks etc etc. And since the game has got really fast cars from F1 cars to American muscle then the police is also gunna have fast cars as you will have to deal with them if you don't drive carefully. In the trailer it will say "To be Most Wanted, you'll need to outrun the cops, out drive your friends, and outsmart your rivals. With a relentless police force gunning to take you down, you'll need to make split second decisions. Use the open world to your advantage to find hiding spots, hit jumps and earn new vehicles to keep you one step ahead.
In true Criterion Games fashion, your friends are at the heart of your experience. In an open world with no menus or lobbies, you'll be able to instantly challenge your friends and prove your driving skill in a variety of seamless multiplayer events. Your rivals will do everything they can to stop you from getting to the top. In this world, there can only be one Most Wanted."

The game has got its own Facebook fan page and a twitter fan page as it will help promote the game and will get reviews of the game. The game also had its own advert on YouTube so it can show people the trailer when they are waiting to watch their chosen video. The target audience for this game is for 10+ as most people up to their 30s and this game is not violent in any way. the game would mainly target boys as most boys like racing games with amazing graphics, cars and challenges. The class I think this game would be mostly sold to is middle class/working class. the main challenge in the game is to become most wanted and you can become most wanted by racing people, outrunning cops and setting records on speed cameras. By earning wanted points you can verse bosses and gain a massive amount of wanted points.
