Finishing production

For this week, I am continuing with the Player Agency And Interactive Narrative group project. With this week, I’ve done a lot of researching regarding the topic that I’ve done some research on this would be the amount of content that the publishers keep adding to the game with such a ridiculous price that has been added to it or the games that are free but come with such a cost due to the cosmetics that come with itself. For this, I will discuss the things I’ve researched of what I found out below.





DLC: which stands for downloadable content, is extra content that has been added to the game itself. Before, it wasn’t usually wrong. At the start of the cycle, the pricing on DLCs was low, around usually €15 to €20, which was okay, and the content was good with new activities added to the game. But as years would pass, the DLCs would become so expensive that even their price tag would be higher than the game itself. The cost of the game is around €70 or higher depending on what edition you have bought, which by the way, is a thing now, spending more money on a DLC with more limited edition items added to it.

FTP: which stands for free to play. Free to play games are free, which you would think is good, which it is. But free to play games are littered with loads of microtransactions in the games themselves. Micro transactions are spending real money in the game to purchase in-game money to buy weapon skins and outfits for your character that you bought. The bad thing is with this that the things you buy with the in-game money that you bought with real money don’t give you a boost at all. It is only just for show and can be very addictive, especially to children as they could be spending their parent's money on free to play games.

the games that ive been focusing on are games with a lot of dlc that has been added to the games. games like Assassin’s Creed, Destiny 2, and Call of Duty. As for Free to play games I’m just focusing on Fortnite at the moment.

As for the recordings, I have mine done, but I would improve on it, so I may have to retry it again. It's just it sounds rushed because I only have a minute to do this. So I'm going to take my time doing the recording, and I'm going to have to invest in a microphone seeing as the one I have is not good enough for it.

Revising writing

This week I had to read some readings detailing how to be good at reading and writing essays. They are listed below, which are Writing strong paragraphs. Paragraph structure This reading mainly focuses on what is a paragraph and how you go on writing one, and what not to put in a paragraph. This can quickly be done by splitting it up into three paragraphs such as the beginning, the middle and the end. A paragraph would usually be around 250 words that would mainly consist of approximately five or six sentences. The beginning section would usually consist of an idea which would have to be the critical information first before anything else and must be explained very clearly before moving onto the second paragraph. It is also known as the topic sentence. The second paragraph would mainly consist of explaining the idea that was first introduced by the topic sentence. Only this time, you would have to provide evidence of the concept and some examples and define why it is relevant. It is al...

Rewrite #3

Image
Changes For this week, I have to rewrite my blog for the third time. Which blog? The Media ethics blog. It is currently one of the best blogs that I’ve written. Also, it has the most comments on it, which is around six comments with good positive reviews with one criticism saying that I should expand on my thoughts on the videos in the blog that I had to review on.  For the changes, if I’m going, to be honest, I haven’t changed anything much. I mean, in rewrite #2, I’ve made the necessary changes overall which there isn’t much that I can change. If it were another one of my blogs that I could make changes to, it would’ve been good. However, I can only think of two changes that I can change, and they are: Fonts:  I never really have used any of the fonts here, so I thought, why not and mess around with fonts to see if I can find what I like and will probably use the one that I will like.  Subheadings: I have added subheadings already, but the only difference that I’ve made...

Media representation

For this week, I will be watching some videos on media representation. There are some videos that I will be watching, and after I watch these videos, I will give my thoughts on what they are all about.  Video 1 Why Representation Matters This first video generally talks about representation and why it matters so much, and a needed change. In the video, you have people of different backgrounds, different colours and people of different genders talking about why there needs to be a change in the digital media world of representation, like other stories to be told as a way for people of those different backgrounds, different colours and different genders to watch the content that is happening so that they can resonate with. A way to tackle this issue is to hire people from different cultures to be a creator and let them tell their own story or a story that they know of people that is around them. Have more people of colour in the same room, directing and creative writers.  My tho...
