OUDF503 - cereal brands


i haven't had the chance to try this cereal brand before but i have noticed again how the manufacture uses the images of two beloved characters from the Flintstones to pull people into buying it for there children also because the title of the box looks similar to the Flintstones font they are able to pull on that and create something that would look like that so that it will give it a better audience of people who will want to eat it plus considering that fruity pebbles is a healthy cereal nits contradictory to most cereals that are not healthy in some ways.

OUDF503 - cereal brands


the reason why i would like to talk about cereal brands and how they brand their products is because i am trying to get a better idea of how they project there products to a certain audience for instance children with the designs they use so that once the child sees it they will think it looks like a tastes cereal to eat and for this i have a few brands that i would want to talk about .

number one coco pops they have been around for many years now and i for one can remember eating them when i was a child and still do now but i never really took the time to realize why they have used a cartoon version of a monkey on the box itself and then i have come to the conclusion that its all about reaching a certain audience with their products now many cereals do this by showing the viewer adverts of this particular money doing funny things so that it grabs the child s imagination so that when they see the cereal they will instinctively want to eat it i think its all about subliminal messaging in a way that it sticks into you're head so that once you see it you will want to purchase it.

OUDF505 - bungies destiny and the game engine that runs it



Destiny is the next standalone game that will be brought to us by bungie the team that is responsible for creating halo and many other titles but i digress this game has been in the makings for the last few years now and will be coming to us in September and it has been made with a game engine that is similar to unreal when watching some of the footage that they had shown off at E3 i had noticed that they use alot of the power of the graphic engine and also they are making sure that they utilize a lot of the game itself so that it comes over like they had invichioned it to do but thats the one ting about the game that i really do enjoy is that the game engine for this work has been pushed to the limit all the game their is no pulling back .

OUDF505 - Far cry 4 cinimatic



far cry 4 is another one of those examples of what i have previously stated that the cinimatic is where the game developers show the story but rather than though game play its though the means of showing you a short film in a scene but by doing this it has been used in a game rather than on the big screen its one certified way of them being able to convey every bit of the story they want they can make it as captivate or they could just rely on the mood change in the characters faces to show what they are wanting to express on the screen to you so for instance in the opening cut scene from far cry 4 this is where the villain is introduced to the player he comes across all smug and makes you know not to get on his bad side but when you do thats where everything comes apart at the seemes and it enfolds into an all out war angainst him and his group of mercenaries that are holding up the Philippines and you have to try and liberate the pace from his tirinany.

OUDF505 - Cinematic in games

games over the generations have used cut scenes and cinimatics to show how the game can look in certain aspects they make it look fantastic and so highly polished that it makes the viewer of it want to buy what their product is and thats why i think they are used plus on the other hand they are a way for the game makers to convey the story across to the player so that bit by bit they know whats going on at each stage of the game because if it wasn't there in the game itself it would just seem like you was only doing one thing for nothing its the meaning of the cut scene/ cinimatic to tell what parts of the story they want across to you in a much easier way rather than have you just play the game without anything there in my eyes it brings the story to life and makes the journey your undertaking seem more purposeful.

OUDF505 Batman arkham knight cinimatic



after watching this years 2014 E3 i realized that they have gone into alot of detail and also the games have now been able to add a lot more of things in the cut scenes/ cinimatics because of how much they presented at the E3 stage demo when batman came on at fist when i saw it i thought it was just game play i was seeing but then i have come to the realization that it was a seemeless blend from the cinimatic to the game play and this got me thinking that one day when it comes to making something like that i want to be able to put a lot of detail into it and then it could come out looking something like i saw.
