My Product

In this blog I’ll be talking about a game I like playing which is Forza Motorsport 6 the main reason I like this game is because it’s realistic the tracks are based on real life racetracks and the cars go at their realistic speeds the brakes are realistic and also the handling and the graphics on the game are really good as well. I also like the game because the races are fun as well. I also like the game because of the variety of cars on it because there’s over 400 cars from normal everyday cars to f1 cars and old 1940's cars. The game is also really good because you can race in different environments like daytime, rain and night time. I also like the game because on the online mode you can do more than normal races you can do drag races you can also do tag which is when you have to drive into other cars to tag them in an arena. Other reasons i like the game are there is a career mode where you have to drive certain cars and try and win a trophy at the end. There is also an onli...

Planning & Producing a Media Product - Initial Ideas

Ideas: My First Idea is i'll make a blog about games like what games i play why i like them and what i enjoy about them. For this particular blog i will probably do it on racing games, first person shooter games because there the games i play. I don't think there will any problems when producing this because i am familiar with the software because I've used blogger before and i'm used to it. I think the target audience for this idea is people of any gender and 20+ because i don't think younger people are going to be reading blogs about games they'll just play. https://www.pinterest.co.uk/charliemillerchip/blogpost/ My Second Idea is i'll make a website for game reviews for games I've played and say what the pros and cons of the game are and why it's worth buying them. I don't think there will any problems when making the site because I know how to make one. The target audience for this idea is people 16+ because there probably going t...

My Media Product Reflection

How happy am i with my finished product? I'm quite happy with my finished product because i got a blog done with my product. I think I've also  achieved what I've set out to achieve as i got one blog post done about my product. I also think my product does appeal to my target audience which is gamers because I've talked about the game What could be improved with my finished product? What i would change about my final product is it could be a bit longer. To make these improvements i could just come back to it and think of some more things to add. If i made the product again one thing i would change is i'd try and make it longer and put more into it. How did my product come together? What i did in the planning stages was i did some blog drafts leading up to my final product just for practice. I've also done a production diary stating what I've done each week and what i plan to the next week.

Planning-Limitations

Deadlines I am giving myself the deadline of March 26th 2018 by this deadline I should have researched wrote and edit blogs, find imagery for the blogs and publish and finalize them. Risk Assessment Some Hazards I need to be aware off: Are gangways between desks kept clear. Are all plugs and cables in good repair. If there are fire doors are they unlocked. Is there fire-fighting equipment in place in the classroom. Are procedures in place to deal with spillages, e.g. water, blood from cuts. Obeying the Law Take care not to publish inaccurate, misleading or distorted information or images, including headlines not supported by the text.                                                         ...

Products & Audiences - Issues Of Representation

My Game Forza Motorsport 6 doesn't portray women, gay people, trans people or different cultures bad because people don't really appear in the game the only time they're in the game is when they're in the crowd and it's both men and women in the crowd because anyone can be in the crowd watching a race. Also in the crowd there is probably an equal amount of men/women of different races so my game is not being negative in portraying different sex's, race's and cultures. Also the women are wearing normal clothes in the game and there not wearing sexually revealing clothes everyone is just wearing regular clothes.

Products & Audiences - Audience Response

The Magic Bullet theory of Media is how media products get something from the product into the user's head. I believe the theory is true because most products must get something into the user's head. For example first-person shooters have caused some people to go around shooting as for my product i think it might encourage the user's to start racing and speeding as the game's a racing game and their are some fast cars in it. The positives for my game is it's not a violent game so it won't get that sort of idea in someones head and the negatives for my game is the cars can drive fast and crash into each other so it could make someone do that. So overall i don't think my game is a violent but there is some fast driving in it so users need to be careful.
