Film-Games-TV

Target Audience:

 In the film industry the target audience starts at a range of normally 12 years old and up and there are many restrictions of what age group can watch what film. e.g. an 18 rated movie can only be viewed by those who are over the age of 18. 
Where.as in the games industry the target audience is said to be set to an age rateing but most 18 plus games are played by children that are under that age. Aswell as that in the TV indusrty there are no age restrictions on tv programmes and no actual way to stop any age from viewing them but in games and film it is more controlled.

Budget:
In the games industry the budget is high, definatly a few million pounds due to the development, labour, programming, and other addutional costs that is put into makeing just one game. where.as in the film industry the budget is tens of millions of pounds due to the special effects, the locations, paying the actors, and other costs. However in the tv indrusty the budget is suprisingly lower as there is less cost of special equpiment and special effects but this also depends on the tv show if it is a reality tv show like who wants to be a millionaire it would cost allot less than a tv programme like dr who this is mainly because of the use of special effects.

Time to make:

In the tv industry the episodes are either made weekly or monthly and are produced relatively quickly as they use not many special effects and sometimes none at all, but in the film industry it takes quite a long time to produce a film as they are normally filmed in foreighn locations and use months of work on special effects. where.as in the game industry it takes quite a long time to make a game because of all of the bug fixes, beta tests, actuall creation of the animation and definition of graphics and polygons withing the characters and enviroment, for example gta 5 has been in the process of being created for over a year and has only recently came out despite the high numbers of programmers and animators on the team which shows games take a longer time to make.

 

                                                   

sci fi

 Sci-fi mood board

This is a screen shot from fallout new Vegas which is a post apocalyptic game in which you get laser and pulse guns etc to defeat mutated monsters and robots so in a way this shows one persons representation of what the future will be like. i like this because it is a brilliant game and it shows one of the future outcomes of our world. As this game is post-apocalyptic it shows the world that it is in as a leveled wasteland where all the buildings have damage and the fact you have to salvage to make weapons and clothes. Also the actual screen itself has a darker kind of musky color to it due to the nuclear world and landscape that around you.

My College Work

Game Artist: Matthew Carofano

  Matthew Carofano is the leading game artist of Skyrim 'The Elder Scrolls IV'. He has done many concept arts of the game and has also hugely contributed to the art within the game itself. e.g. characters, weapons, clothing etc. apart from Skyrim Matt Carofano has done art for other Bethesda games such as Fallout 3 and Fallout new Vegas.to the side is a example of the art that Matt Carofano has done in Skyrim in my opinion the art is Skyrim is amazing as it contains great amount of detail. Also there is a water color painting underneath the game picture as an example of the difference between game graphics art and actual painted art.

What makes the game picture so interesting is the way that the blue/purple tinted flame on the bow that the character is holding stands out remarkably because of the dark surroundings. as well as that you can see the enchanted arrows on the characters back  which also are glowing purple/blue so the stand out better than if they were just plain.

The second picture which is a water colored painting has a dragon blowing 2 people away with just the power of its wings, it is amazing how this distorted effect can be done without the use for editing  programs also the amount of detail of the dragon is remarkable being as this was done with just water colors. also in the background you can see the mountains which have a great amount of detail for a background. for example the sun can be seen shining of the mountain in a orange tint.
