Overview of each week
For this module I will talk about different subjects as each week goes by making sure I research into what each of the titles are about and giving some useful points to what the Games Industry is all about.
Week 1 - This week in the first lesson of this module we discussed what the module is all about and was given a layout of what we had to do for our assignment which has to be handed in week 12 of the module. This module is basically about researching the games industry and researching into the job role you want to work on for the portfolio. The portfolio show reel is also due in week 12, which we have to produce a plan show reel for what we want to have in our portfolio using block out models or images to represent what we are going for just so the lecture can see what we want to achieve. It must also consist of written notes to say what will be happening with the model for example spinning around or camera zooming in and out etc. This is to get an idea of whats happening. The module will also help us with what to expect when we go out into the industry and if the job role we want to do is the right job for us.
Week 2 - In this week I will research a little bit into the Computer Games Industry and write down a quick overview of the sort of companies there are in the world and what games they have worked on. Also talk about how well certain companies have been doing and the consequences of a game that doesn't sell well in the Computer Games market. I will include a couple of countries to talk about just so I can get an idea of whats happening in the industry.
Week 3 - This week I will be looking at different certain companies and seeing what the requirements are in order to have the chance to work in that company. I will also discuss some of the skills, responsibilities and experience needed within that company by maybe looking at previous games or the company itself. I will look at some of my favorite game companies and find out what they require for the job role I am looking at.
Week 4 - Once I have looked at the Computer Games Industry itself, I will then go into the main part of this module. Which is the job role I want to go for. I will research into the most important job roles of the Computer Games Industry to see which job role would be ideal for me and also choosing from experience I have had from University.
Week 5 - For this week I will write about what happened during the practice interview in lesson and how well it helped me to realize the pressure put on me when being asked question to do with a chosen job in the industry. I will talk about what I will learn from this practice interview and how it will help me in future interviews when applying for a job. Also talking about what is needed to make an interview a success.
Week 6 - I will talk about the job role I have chosen and give some opinions
to why I have chosen this role and why I think it would be suitable for
me to go for compared to other job roles. I will give some advantages of
why I chose this job.
Week 7 - This week I will talk about how I can promote myself through the internet in
order to get more noticed. I will talk about other resources I could use
to show people what I can do and so that there is more than one thing
to show of my work.
Week 8 - This week I will look at other peoples portfolios to get a general idea
of what I should be aiming for. I need to research to make sure my
portfolio fits what I am doing and that I am making the portfolio stand
out to the person who looks at it. I might use reference images to
explain what I should be doing and what I shouldn't be doing with my
portfolio. Also looking at how others layout there portfolios to help me
with mine.
Week 9 -For this week I will be researching other show reels to see how others have demonstrated there work to get ideas on what it is I need to do for my block out show reel and also have an understanding what I later need to do for my final show reel.
Week 10 - For this week I will talk about what I should be doing for my show reel to make it clear and easy to understand what I am going for. I will also say what shouldn't be done in a show reel so that if I use this as future reference I will know what I will have to do.
Week 11 - This week I will be talking about what I plan to put into my portfolio and what i have put into my show reel based on the work I will be doing for it for next semester. i will talk about the module/modules that I am using the work from.
Week 12 - This week will purely be finalizing the show reel making sure it all fits together and it runs okay with some screenshots of each point explaining whats happening. Including a small storyboard of the layout and way each image will go. I will also write down the final exit plan on this week of what I want to do at the end of Uni.
