When I first started The Vampire Zombie College project I didnt have a clue where to start. I hardly ever play on video games however I did watch Vampire and Zombie films. So they were where I got my researh from.
The first thige had to do was make a mind map about Characters, Weapons, Zombie Vampires, wich rooms not to go in and so on. Considering the game was set in a College I couldn't think of any weapons you cold use. However once I staed thinking about the courses the College provided I realized I could use drills ad scredrivers from the mechanics courses and kifes from the culinary courses. Once I realzed this, th task became preet easy.
We were also took aroundthe College to take pictures and videos for us to photoshop them later. To be honest tink everyone knows how to use a camera especially me to again this part was pretty easy but the photoshop after I found hard to do. This was y first time using Photoshop andit was difficult to make ot with icons idi what. The idea was to really just mess around on the Photo but after experimenting with it I found yself enjoying it and making a half decent Zombie. ater on we had to use Photo shop again and placed Zombies into our College pictures. I foundthis hard at firstbut aftter using a tool called feathering it helped me out.
Having not played any Zombie games myself I used Google to research bot old and new films for ideas. We foundas may pictures as we can and paced tem all on the blog and then we coped videos and also placed them on the blog. My favourite Film was Salems Lot whih I found really scary when I was younger so I picked that one.
We also had to use a new programme called iMovie. This allowed use to upload videos and edit them to our liking. Our favourite video was of a trailer of Shaun of the dead so I chose this one. I think cutting up the video was simple to so. You could also add you own sound effects to it to make it even better.
I think I have done everything as best I could. The things I found hard where the very beggining with the mindmap and also the Photoshop and maybe could have done them better buy using more tools in the Photoshop and more reasearch in the mindmap. Taking pictures was easy and i dont think I would need toimprve n that at this very moment. Over all I think I done great.
