My Game Advert

        My Game Advert

I did my game advert on the EA first person shooter game Battlefield there is four games of the series

and the third game really impressed critics and so number 4 will be something special.

MEDIA project Camera Shots

This is an Establishing shot this shots sets one of the scenes of the film. It shows the school as the scene of the storyline and there might be different place (e.g. Library)

This is an Wide shot similar to the establishing shot but this shot has the victim and the bully as the storyline is based on a kid getting bullied. This is also a shot from a high angle.

Shows the bully stand where the victim was standing but the victim is no longer here, this is also a wide shot but only showing the bully from a distance.

The bully getting caught trying to throw a bottle at the victim but then the teacher finds him and catches him red handed. this is shot over the bully's shoulders so all the interest goes to the bully emotions.

This is a long shot showing the bully once again trying to throw and hit him with a bottle.

this is an high angle of the victim in the teachers office and waiting for the teacher to arrive.

this is another high angle picture with the bully looking all but angry showing his emotion by not obeying the teacher.

This is a medium shot showing that the bully did not listen to the teacher and still bully through out his lessons.

the victim doesn't know what he is in for as the bully is sneaking up to him from behind this is a unusual perspective to take a shot from as you are looking at both people in different angles.

the victim stands up to the bully as he doesn't want to be bullied any more and this shot is a medium close up of both victim and bully.

the bully has his last say as he threw the water bottle at the victim.

this is a unusual perspective as the water bottle is diving in to hit the victim and the focus is on the direction of the water bottle if it will hit him.

Media Fifa 14 Analysis

Language
The title of the Game Fifa 14 isn't so special from the previous Fifa games as it can’t be changed because it’s just a better version of Fifa 13 with new features and game modes. The background image goes well with the picture as it like a stadium and the words “The Next Generation” (in Capitals so its like a news bulletin) makes people think that this Fifa 14 is going to be special compared to the other ones all of these features are key to a good video game advert.Using the Hash tag #XboxReveal gives Xbox gamers a chance to see it first before the PS3 gamers 

Institution
this game was produced by EA Sports and it is available on multiple platforms for example: Xbox 360, Xbox one, Ps3, Ps4, Wii, 3DS, Wii U, PC etc… The previous game Fifa 13 was in the top ten of best-selling games in the world with selling more than 14.5 million copies the world’s best football game to date.

Audience
this game is mainly aimed at boys as boys are more into these kinds of games, also this game has a reasonable  wide age range might apply due to family appeal…

Representation

EA are really good fans of Lionel Messi making him the highest rated player in the game also EA and Messi have made a contract asking him to appear on the cover of the FIFA 14 advert along with Gareth Bale appearing in the new Real Madrid. The advert of the game shows one of the best players(Messi) to star as the cover of the game to persuade people to play the game because the celebrity stars and people follow this particular celebrity to raise more copies of the game sales.

Fruit Bowl

This is my fruit bowl made with the fruity pallet of colours that I have made I think that the colours match with each other and the picture with different fruits all different colours. I made this using the application Adobe Photoshop CS6, I think I did a good job making this fruit bowl look fruity. I nearly finished my other fruit bowl but I didn't it was about winter it would've been mostly different shades of blue.

A review from the website Trusted reviews had this to say
on the Sports game “FIFA 13 isn’t a gigantic step on from FIFA 12. It looks more polished, its Career Mode is deeper and, as is the case every year, once you sink a couple of hours into it returning to last year’s iteration is unthinkable.But it lacks any jaw dropping feature that makes it feel like an undisputed champ in its genre – a fact that isn’t helped by the fact PES 2013 and Football Manager 2013 will be the strongest challenges it will have faced in years“


EA has announced that more than 14.5 million copies of FIFA 13 have been sold to date. The news comes as part of EA’s fourth quarter 2013 earnings report, which states that FIFA 13 sales represent “a 30% increase versus FIFA 12 in the prior year.”According to EA, FIFA 13’s revenue from digital sales hit $200 million in EA’s 2013 fiscal year, “a 94% increase versus FIFA 12 in the prior year.” Total revenue from FIFA for the year was nearly $350 million, including FIFA Online and FIFA World Class Soccer.But it lacks any jaw dropping feature that makes it feel like an undisputed champ in its genre – a fact that isn’t helped by the fact PES 2013 and Football Manager 2013 will be the strongest challenges it will have faced in years“

Genre:  Sports

The makers of this game and every other Fifa game is Electronic Arts Sports or for short you can call the

This is the Fifa 13
face book page I don’t know if it’s the official page or unofficial page but this was the one with the most likes and here is the description of it.

And EA has posted videos on their website and YouTube about what new features it has from the previous Fifa games and maybe tutorials of how to play the game.

Target audience would probably be maybe 90% boys and 10% girls as boys are more interested in the game because doing research there are no female you tubers that do Fifa videos apart from a few and probably from a age for 9+ I don’t think people over the age of 40 is into football games.

more reviews about the game:

“It's an odd conundrum, the annual sports game. Many grizzle that the concept fleeces consumers, asked to fork out £40 every year for a game with some new kits and the odd tweak to the game play with wacky nonsense monikers like TOTAL PRO CONTROL 360 or ALL NEW FOOT TO BALL SIMULATIONS. But what EA understand with all of its sport series, from FIFA to NHL to Madden NFL, is that these are games played from the day of release, right up to the day the next edition arrives. It's a subscription, essentially. £40 a year to play and, every 12 months, EA will sort out the new kits, move the players around and polish up the game itself, maybe chuck in a new mode here and there too. And the cycle continues.”

The trailer for the game shows the features of the game and how it works on the players and how it could influence the game : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ia43OgdBHaE this trailer is the first trailer released by E3

with all the emotions of the relief and frustration this game has provided there has been so many complaints to EA about there servers and when they play online they suddenly lose connection to the Ea servers with often ends a loss for the user who had there connection lost here is the view of a person who has experienced this

EA should feel embarrassed with themselves for having such s****y servers. I'm a huge fan of Ultimate Team and can't get enough of it but I'm afraid EA are really trying to ruin things for me. I get signed out of the EA servers so many times during games which means I have lots of games that haven't even counted. And EVERY SINGLE TIME my internet connection has been perfect so its not on my end at all. Just 5 minutes ago I was playing a cup game on UT and I come back from 2-0 down to win 3-2. The game literally just finished and it said I've been singed out of EA servers. And to add insult to in injury and this happens all of the time obviously, it still counts as a game played on your players contracts so I have to fork out extra money on contracts when I'm trying to save up. Does anyone else have this trouble with EA signing you out from their servers? C'mon I know you all do. Now make me feel better and tell me about how you've all been screwed over.

Media group project

On Wednesday the 3rd of july in media we were put into teams of 3 it was usually meant to be teams of 4 but then some people weren't at the lesson due to trips and work experience. our task was to create and advertise a game called the hunger games training and we had to advertise it to the community and public and so we can sell it. our group were the winners because of our ideas and especially the logo i made for the game as it was outstanding and the price of the game was cheaper than most other games that is on the market right now it was 30 pounds and i think that we were the group who should have one it so it was the right decision
