We began the week with an overview of video games and discussed how relevant it was to look at them in Media Studies, the changing nature of the video game audience and representation issues.
(If you were not at this session then make sure you look through the slides above and attempt the tasks included.)
Following the introduction, later in the week we focused on an investigation of 'Tomb Raider' in order to model the requirements for the MS3 Coursework task.
The main areas of focus were a traditional textual analysis, the application of media theory to a text and the planning of a production project. I hope you all gained a clearer idea of how the investigation is intended to inform the production for this project.
