Week 1 (Brainstorming)

Introduction:

Hello I am 1340539/1, and this blog will document the progression through the assignment for Digital Imaging Software, or DIS for short.

The ideas I come up with are inspired mainly by sci-fi films and games, such as the mass effect trilogy videogames, the star wars saga, but also inspired by books such as A song of fire and ice (Game of thrones) and it is likely that the final assignment will be based around something similar to this.


Brainstorm of ideas;

These are all brainstorms and aren't final ideas, just slight ideas to get myself on the right track

Film:

Bear driving an ice cream truck in space (horror)

Zombies in space (horror)

Batman vs. Predator (action / thriller)

Star wars : Episode VII


Videogame:

Half life 3 : Confirmed (action / adventure)



Sources of inspiration:


Bear driving an ice cream truck in space (film) ;

Mass effect (videogame)

Alien 1979 (film)

Borat 2006 (film)

The reason I have chosen a film like this to work around is that i find it incredibly funny to do and i know that i'll enjoy working on it, although it may not be a good idea to do something that i find funny because i might not take it seriously.

I also think that something like this will give many opportunities to use the array of photoshop tools and other editing software.


Zombies in space (film) ;

Dead space (videogame)

Biohazard (videogame)

Dawn of the dead 1978 (film)

The reason i am considering a film like this to work around is that there already are a lot of zombie films, so i wouldn't have any issue getting ideas for a trailer or cover case, although this idea is just standard and probably won't bring out the full potential of the tools i will be using.


Batman vs. Predator ;

Alien vs. Predator 2004 (film)

Batman (comics, games, films)

I am considering a film like this to work around because i am a huge fan of batman and the predator films, also the contrast of the two characters will work together and have a huge potential, such as a silhouette for the cover.


Star wars : Episode VII ;

Star wars saga 1977 - ? (Film, games, comics)

I honestly could not pass off an opportunity to do something like this, being a huge fan of star wars, although there already are a lot of fan pictures of the future films it will be difficult to come up with new ideas, the cover will likely be similar to the current films, etc.


Half life 3 : Confirmed ;

Half life 1, 2 (game)

The main reason i chose this was for a joke, half life 3 is a majorly anticipated game, and it's fan base are insane about it, spawning many discussions and jokes on the internet, i think it would be a good idea to follow this or something similar.


Conclusion;

Overall i think that my final decision will be either Batman vs. Predator or Star wars : Episode VII, in the next blog post i will detail my decision and why i chose, i will also research cover art for said decision and come up with possible implementations of ideas.
