I am applying for the course because I am hoping it will lead me onto work in the gaming industry. As the gaming industry is quite big and has multiple sub-aspects, studying them at your university will allow me to choose which aspect I would like to go into.
The subject interests me because I have been a gamer most of my life, from the PS1 to the Xbox 360. I enjoy a wide variety of games which I play depending on the mood I am in. The sort of games I play are psychological games such as Alice: Madness Returns; 80s arcade games such as Spy Hunter, Gauntlet, and Defender; and Sandbox games such as Minecraft. I like some of these games because they are unique, like Alice: Madness Returns, and others because of how retro they are, like the 80s …show more content…
I have also learned about things like the genres and the themes in games, and about how they are different to the genres in film. I also previously did a Level 3 Film and TV course which introduced me to the world of media and how things are done in the industry.
I am excited about the course I have chosen because I really like character design and using those characters to put into a game. This course will help me to further understand how character design works, and the software that is used to create them. I’m also looking forward to talking to professionals about how the industry works and about some of my ideas.
For GAP at college I managed to get some work experience at RM2, this was a professional environment where I learnt about what the people did there and learnt how an advert is created from an idea. This experience allowed me to see what a professional environment looks like and how to work from a brief from a client to deliver on time. This has improved my sense of timekeeping so I can hand assignments in on time, this will also help me with a job in the future.
In summary I would like to be on this course because I will be one step closer to becoming a character designer which is what I want to do because I like drawing
