Task 1 - Analysis
Write an illustrated blog
article on the game genre that your chosen game belongs to. Use the work
you produced in the last three assignments to assist in making a personal
response to the genre using appropriate technical language. Remember that you
are analysing the genre and not simply reviewing the games.
Using your chosen game and others within the
genre:
Analyse the genre’s characteristics - the codes and conventions of the genre, the
audience and purpose of the genre and how the genre has changed over a period
of time.
Analyse the narrative structures – how does this allow the player to engage with
the codes and conventions of the genre.
Analyse the representation of characters - consider issues such as how gender is
constructed and represented, who is present or absent, and who is positively
and who negatively represented within the genre’s narrative.
Ensure
that you use the work you carried out into defining audiences, addressing
audiences and their response to products to inform you. In addition, present
your findings in an appropriate format, remembering the different options
available to you when publishing to your blog, text, image, video and audio.
Remember that you are trying to present an
analysis of a media product with supporting arguments and elucidated examples,
and consistently using subject terminology correctly.
