KIERAN

Hello my name is KIERAN and I am going to talk to you about the history of the Xbox and the Xbox 360.And it's future in online gaming.

Xbox was once one of the greatest consoles of home gaming. the first gaming console that Microsoft released was the "Xbox", it was released on, 2001 in north america, February 2002 in Japan, and in march, 2002 in Australia and Europe. Microsoft is going into its sixth-generation of gaming gaming consoles now.

Microsoft released an update in 2002 which allowed prayers to interact with each other and play online games. it was such a popular feature on the Xbox that the critics stated that Xbox live had a better online experience than Sony's play station 2, although Xbox live needs a subscription.

In November 2005, Microsoft released the Xbox 360; it was the big brother to the first Xbox. the first Xbox was discontinued in north america and in 2006.

the last we saw of the first Xbox was in 2007 when it finally died out due to the Xbox 360 and it was the end of the first generation Xbox.

The successor to the first Xbox is the Xbox 360 which microsoft unveiled on MTV on may 12, 2005 which more information was reviled at E3 2005.

The Xbox was released on November  22, 2005, in the united states and Canada; December 2, 2005, in Europe and December 10, 2005, in Japan.It was launched in 36 countries, more than any other console in a single year.

The main new features of the new Xbox 360 are its integrated Xbox live service that allows players to "complete online" that allows to download arcade games, games, game demo's, trailers, TV shows, music and movie's and its window media Center multimedia capabilities. As well the Xbox 360 also offers region specific access to third-party media streaming application such as Netflix, Iplayer, lovefilm and ESPN in the USA or sky go in the UK, linked to the development of 'kinect'. 

The Xbox 360 launched with 14 games in north america and 13 in Europe. the console's best-selling game for 2005, Call Of Duty, sold over a million copies. five other games sold over a million copies  in the consoles first year on the market: Ghost Recon advanced war fighter, The elder scrolls IV: Oblivion, Dead or Alive 4, Saints Row and Gears Of war. Gears of war would become the best-selling game on the console with 3 million million copies in 2006, before surpassed in 2007 by Halo 3 with over 8 million copies.

To come to a conclusion we have to think the pro's and con's of the Xbox and the Xbox 360.

Xbox has some really good features like:

good game play and control, good game design and graphics as well as it is very sociable.

good updates. it has a great variety of app's that allows you to convert your Xbox to a PC to surf the Internet.

On the other hand it has negative features such as:

The community is not the best. The connectivity to the console with your Internet is not great.

So in my opinion Microsoft, Xbox 360 is growing but it could be better and looking it has good potential in the gaming market.

My Pre-Production

My original idea was an information clip about what's in the world the link: www.you-tube.com/user/Vsauce

My other idea was a documentary on how xbox360 started and how far It has come from the first Xbox to current Xbox to the future Xbox.

The concept is that I talk about how the first Xbox came around in November 15, 2001 to the current Xbox 360 which came out in November 22, 2005.plus I will talk about the future of Xbox with the Xbox 720 coming out in a year’s time.

Then I thought an enough idea to another thing called 'how it should have ended'.

The concept of how it should have ended is that you take a game, film or book and you change the ending by modifying the plot to be something different to the actual ending and sometimes what should have happened didn't happen at all because the ending was different.

For the link to watch people who do these animations: www.youtube.com/show/hishe.

My audience:

When I consider my audience they will mostly people aged like such from 10 to 20 years old, these people are people who like gaming for fun.

Ideas and intentions:

 When I come to ideas and intentions, with my documentary I will talk about how Microsoft came up with the Xbox franchise and where it is going in the present day and to the future of Xbox 720.

 Health and Safety and risk assessments’:

My risk assessment is that the risks that I could face when doing my documentary the risks are:

·         Tripping over wires.

·         Unexpected failure of video equipment.(video recorder)

My crew:

For my crew I will only need one person and they will control the video camera and they will only press the start and stop but on the video camera.

My three minute video

First idea:

Vsauce is an educational YouTube channel. One video which asked the question "What if Everyone on Earth jumped at the same time?",was featured on Huffington Post. Vsauce has collaborated with Minute Physics on two videos: Guns in Space and What if the Earth were Hollow?. Vsauce has also uploaded a video where he explains how much the internet weighs. The main channel currently airs 4 recurring segments: "Dot.", "Lüt", "IMG", and "DONG", along with the Vsauce lean back and "Up All Knight". "Dot." is a segment where Micheal (The main Vsauce host) answers interesting questions such as: what is cool, and what is a bird in the hand worth. "Lüt" is a segment where Michieal shows interesting items you can buy on the internet such as: Unicorn farts, Breast milk ice cream, and cow fart in a jar. "IMG" is a segment where Micheal showcases the best photos on the internet as of that week. "DONG" (which stands for stuff you can Do Online Now Guys) is a segment where Micheal shows off some of the best things you can do on the internet, most of which he gets sent by his fans via Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube messages. Vsauce also has 3 other sister channels: Vsauce2, Vsauce3, and WeSauce each has their own YouTube channel titled after their own names.

Second idea:

How it should have ended of a video game, where a part of the game is changed and it became a ending of the video game or a movie.

evaluation of doritos advert

when I done the doritos advert with connor we had some problems with the concept but we got it done and in the end it was quite good.
my main strengths were that how fast i came up with up with the ideas and with with doing them and making it real.other strengths would be that the editing of the movie because I am good at editing movie's and i can get them done fast and quick.
my weaknesses could be getting started in the first place because i am very slow at starting and it takes a long while to start.

evaluation of group work towards Doritos advert

my strengths on the doritos advert in my group with connor where that we got the advert done very quickly and was to a good quality as-well.

my weaknesses on the advert would be that getting the advert done in time that was a weakness and that nearly happened and I should improve on that.
