The Video Game for ipad.

Yano what's cool? The possibilities out there.

I was amazed, there was Rosie Ball(former ex-student), a sucess in the media industry who had studied at longroad. She has graduated at Norwich University College Of The Arts, within time she has spoken about her Nominated game, that is going to be releast for ipads 1 & 2 (I had a brief moment to play on the game and found it highly entertaining). I would sure love to be in her shoes, the amount of experience she has gained, and where it has gotten her is somewhere I would like to be in the future, but less involved with video games. She is at work with Disney, which is another thing I found was amazing.

Horror Stills (The Planning)

We had to do a story board, as per usual. Before doing anything productive, it is always good to have a plan, so you know exactly what you are doing, and not constantly having to change your mind. Although, even whilst following through a plan, there can be second thoughts and moments in which you might want to change certain things in your plan, and that is good because it shows how the plan is developing into something more. The story board took us approximately 15-20mins, not including the break half way through writing and sketching it out. After planning, we were all set and ready to go all out to take the still images, we had our plans photographed on a iphone so that we wouldn't have to carry a large A3 sheet of paper around with us, this worked well so it will definitley be of use next time.

Genre!

To understand Genre, what it is, what it takes to create "a genre", basically, to know the difference between one thing from another. Films are made up on a certain genre, and some times, a combination of two to three types of genre's. The first thing you must do before even considering to create a film/clip is to decide how you want it and where you want it to be set, and what your aim is then put that into a plan. For deciding what Genre you want, depends on what your goal is, So to say, you want your film to frighten the audience? Then you would label that as a horror, or if you wanted it to be a full on action like transformers, then you would label it as an "Action movie" Genre. Now if one doesn't satisfy, you can use both, Horror and Action AKA Thriller. A good example of a Thriller would be the Resident Evil movies.
