CONTEXT AND RESEARCH
CHANGE
This is the word for our short video, this word has many different meanings and during my story it can be used many times as it could be seen as how my protagonist life changes as he realises he has lost his friend, it could also be seen as how technology has changed to allow people to just change reality as soon as they use technology to escape to a simulation which has changed their lives as technology is now a key part of their lives.

My Video Idea
For my video idea i have taken inspiration from what i enjoy doing which is playing FIFA and football, for my video i have decided to have 2 friends go into a survival game mode on FIFA, once they connect to 4 other people playing this game mode then a Jumanji type situation happens where the 6 people playing all get teleported into the game, with a little inspiration from black mirror, they then have to play the game in real life, every time one team score a member of the other team gets shot and eliminated out of the game, the game continues until its is a 1 v 1 with the two remaining players being the original 2 people at the start of the video, then one of those people score and watch the other person get shot in the game, the next shot is back in the room of the remaining person as he is speaking to the other person who he had just played FIFA with as he thought the game was just a simulation as a new update, the next shot is the other persons setup with just their headphones on the floor with the sound of the other person speaking coming through the headphones. This video will include slight themes of the evolving technology, an element of simulation vs reality and an element of change, the element of change is going to be how technology has changed to allow them to play in what is thought to be a virtual reality of FIFA and there is no way to tell the difference between reality and a simulation as one character loses his friend in what he thought was a simulation however it actually was a reality but he could not tell the difference as it looks so realistic due to the evolution of technology. I will hopefully start the film with the main character coming home and going straight onto his computer to show how technology is evolving and is slowly taking over our lives and is what we think about almost all of the day.

I am very confident and excited about this video as for a while I have been trying to come up with ideas but then I just thought about what I enjoy which is video games and I really enjoy FIFA so I knew I wanted to do my video around that game, this helped me a lot as I already know a lot about FIFA and it also helps find my target audience and I fit into the target audience the I have decided on.
GENRES IN MY VIDEO -
- SPORTS
- DRAMA
- FANTASY
- SPORTS
- DRAMA
- FANTASY
My Target Audience
EA SPORTS target audience is 12-30 year old males, the game on release date is worth £60 so is more based for teenagers getting their parents to buy this game, however my video is also potentially intriguing to football fans around the world which could be anyone of anyone, however this cuts down my potential audience to football fans, who understand games a bit more so that brings down the age, also it is intriguing to drama fans so that narrows down the potential age. Overall my target audience is young adults who like football as well as a bit of drama and also play and understands how the game FIFA works.

Survival is a friendly game mode in FIFA 22 and Ultimate Mode in which, when a goal is scored, a random player from the scoring team, excluding the keeper, gets removed from the contest.
I have taken this idea and changed it slightly to make the playing of the game more exciting and tense, so instead of a player on the scoring team getting removed from the game i have decided that when a team scores a member of the other team will get shot and killed so they are still removed from the game but they are dead and cannot play on, this is different from the actual game mode however i have still taken the basic ideas of the survival game mode. |

this is a full game of survival mode on FIFA 19 which is when it first came out, the concept and basic ideas are still the same in FIFA 22 as they were in FIFA 19, when the team scores at 0:45 it seems like a normal game however after all of the celebrations you can see a player walk off of the pitch and a information bar comes up to say the players name and underneath their name is says 'Player Ejected' this is at 1:15. this is part of my concept as i want a player to be eliminated after the other team scores, however in FIFA a player is ejected when their own team scores, so i am wanting to change the rules of this game mode slightly but i have still taken full inspiration off this game mode.

This is a trailer of the gameplay of FIFA 22 and in it it shows some of the camera angles i might use, for instance a POV shot whilst dribbling the ball and a shot of just the ball hitting the back of the net. it also shows some of the angles the celebrations are shown at so i could use these angles to show the celebration and when the game is stopped due to a goal or in my videos case a death. It also shows the movement of the cameras and how not all of them are steady however it still looks good and even slightly realistic.

In this video it how the students get into the Jumanji game, they pick their characters and then go into the game, I have taken a lot of inspiration from this as I want to do a similar thing as I want to have 2 people pick different teams and then get sent into the game, they then play the game and if they die in the game they fully die which I have also taken inspiration from as well. it also shows the intro to the game which I may also do with the football players walking out, they also see their new characters however I don't like this idea and may just keep the characters in game as the same in real life.

This is an episode from the show squid game where loads of people playing the childhood game RED LIGHT GREEN LIGHT for money, however the stakes are so high that if they make it to the end within 5 minutes and without getting caught moving then they carry on to the next round and will survive this game, however if they get caught moving they will get shot and killed and if they don't make it to the end in time then they will also get shot and killed, this to me seems like a very cool idea and that's why I'm taking inspiration from it as the characters in my video will get put into a game and potentially shot and killed if they concede a goal, and the worry of who will be shot is something I want to capture after every goal the is scored as no-one will no who will be chosen to die next, I know I want to have a point where a player gives away a penalty which is then conceded ad they think they will be shot but in fact it is there team mate who gets shot and the blame will sit on the player who gave away the penalties shoulders.

This video is a scene from READY PLAYER ONE where he explains that the simulation of the OASIS helps people to become whatever they want and it explains how most people spend all most of their life inside the OASIS as it helps them get away from their problem and the problems of the world. it also shows that how technology is evolving to a point where it is what drives people lives, people care so much about their character in the OASIS that when they die and lose all their progress they get very angry and some people even try to commit suicide, this shows themes of reality vs simulation and how people can't control themselves to see the difference, this is a theme that I am using in my video as people can't see the difference between technology and simulation which in my case would be playing FIFA but in the game which you think is a reality but is a simulation however it ends up becoming a reality as one of the friends dies in reality.

This is an advert from nike where they made a first person video of a footballers rise to fame, I want to use this at the start of the football game as they realise that they are inside the game and have to play football, the camera will then go first person and then so up beat music will be playing to get the audience thinking that the video is exciting and is two friends playing football inside a game, then one team scores and the music stops as a gunshot is heard and someone dies, I think the first person football shot looks very good as a shot and can't wait to try and use it.

This is the song I want to use for the first person starting of the football game part of my video as the start is very upbeat and fast which is what I want the start of the football game, it is also really catchy and hopefully would be a memory that the audience would make so that when they heard that song they think of y video and come back to watch it, I also think it is a very good song and works extremely well for my idea.

This is the transition i want to do to show that the characters playing XBOX are actually going it the game, i found this tutorial very useful and it actually looks quite cool, i am very excited to use this edit and hope it turns out quite nice and works well, hopefully it will definitely show that the characters are going into the game and it will show the evolution of technology and how it is slowly taking over the world, it will also be a cool edit to show that the character is going into the simulation even though it looks like real life, as they are actually playing the game of FIFA but they are the players. I really liked seeing this sort of edit in Jumanji when they went into the game and it really clarified to me that they were becoming the characters.

This is another advert from nike where it is a football advert, Ive watched this to see the different camera angles that they used to film the video, I liked the ones that are close to the ball and the ones that show both teams playing through a wide shot, as well the shots of the ball flying into the back of the net look pretty cool, I hope to use these during my video as they fit very well and would work very well for my video.

This video is a scene from the film The Matrix where Neo has to chose whether he wants to stay in this simulation or follow the truth and learn about the actually reality, this uses the same theme that I am using of simulation vs reality, I really liked this as it shows he has lived his entire life in what he thought was reality but was actually just a simulation, I am going to portray something like this by showing that even though they use the simulation of the game as an escape from reality, it isn't the greatest option to do all the time as they end up not knowing the difference between what's real and what's just a simulation.

This video shows some camera angles of a football short film, especially during the penalty as i like the close up of the faces, i am going to try and do a penalty scene and so showing the facial expressions of the penalty taker during that scene knowing he could score from it and also seeing the person who gave away the penalty seeing that they might concede and how he might get ejected from the game, i then went the penalty to be scored and the person who gave away the penalty to watch as his teammate dies.

I have decided I want to do an Edgar Wright type montage during the football game as I want to g from kickoff t a shot to a death to kickoff to add a quicker highlights of the game kinda style, he is very inspirational as he is one of the best for this type of style and I hope to do more projects with funny montages. I want to use a montage technique in my video but not exactly Edgar Wrights technique as he does his montages very quick and every shot is a different thing happening, where as I want to do a repeating montage, I want kickoff to happen then a shot then the goal, I want this to repeatedly happen but just slightly different and with different people.

This is an Adobe Audition effect I plan on using on some pre-recorded dialogue to make it sound like it is coming through a phone whilst a phone call is happening, i have not used Audition much and i am glad i have learnt how to do this for future reference.
