Had another presentation recently and it was terrible as I had nothing to visualise and here I am again with nothing to visualise but that would change within a few more days. What I want to do first, is to get my ideas together and merge it to one big idea where I could lead on from. So I started by going to west Bromwich, my local town. Majority of the buildings seemed really old that are still being used and been there for more than 100 of years. So as you could expect the town would be very old and very classic. So I had a little tour around west Bromwich and I found some interesting bits and bob. The outdoor market seemed quite cool to do, in the style of assassin creed. So that was instantly one idea that I kept thinking about. So what I finally decided was to go around several towns over the Christmas holiday and go to locations such as London, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Nuneaton, Leicester and a lot more. As for time budget I have got, I know that I won’t be able to build everything but some could be used as background which will be inaccessible. I really like the way west Bromwich is layered out. Anyway in my next blog I will show the pictures I have gathered so far and then create a map of my environment to give everyone a visual idea of the map and how it would be placed. I will also try to create some sketches and final concepts that would even clear out the blur that I am having at the moment.
A quick rephrase about what I’m going to do is, have myself going around several towns and take some photograph’s and then get everything together and merge it into a small deserted town with buildings that are inaccessible and some that are accessible. The town would be a small on-going trail that leads you to path way where as one direction is locked and the other may be open but not too sure about that just yet as I got to think about the time budget. In my next blog I will show some quick photographs of local towns such as Leicester and west Bromwich and explain what my ideas are and what I will be focusing. The images will be edited and analysed to show what my focus point would be and I will show a bird-eye-view point of view of the map. See you soon =D.

How the Presentation went??!
Had a presentation today about the ideas I have gathered over the past week. I won’t say it went exactly as I planned but I did expect mike or heather to crit and say what stood out and what didn’t and what ideas I could take further on for my FMP and what I couldn’t and that is exactly what happened. I finally decided that I was going with my 1st idea- bowling environment but it wasn’t good enough as to mike and heather, it seemed boring and doll and told me that I would be able to use some assets but change the location. Like instead of a bowl plex or arcade palace I should put it in a unique place that would fit the role. This might sound bizarre at the moment but I am going to do more research and decided from there. To be honest I’m in two minds as in, I don’t know if I’m going to do arcade palace anymore or change it to something really different. The game that I could relate it with just to give you a visual is call of duty. It’s going to be a deserted village where it’s been wrecked and smashed up as if, war took place. As I’m running out of time I need to make a decision as soon as possible...I’ll update you with my research =D and my decisions.
So it Begins
My key is to visualize my idea and plans through blogs as it should help me to keep on track and visualize efficiently to the viewers...
So it BEGINS!!
To decide what i wanted to do for my third year was clear as it was being planned as soon as i started university. It built up for the past two years and now when i started my final third year I instantly decided, i was going to focus it on 'Environment' for my FMP. So i started to think about different types of environment that i could look at so it could give me a visual idea...Before i started my blog i did a sider diagram which is shown down below...
Spider diagram has led me to explore widely which was very effective and helpful. As you can see i started to get ideas of other environments that could relate to the four types of environment i have chosen.
Here are some images that i have gathered.
Claustrophobic environment:
Socializing environment:
Open environment:
Deserted environment:
These are the four types I looked at and I decided that I was going to go in direction with open, socializing and deserted environment. I took out the claustrophobic environment as I wanted more of a loose environment and this idea did not relate. So I decided to go more in-depth with the other three environments.
Here are more pictures of open, socializing and deserted environment.
I just quickly gathered some secondary resources just to give a visual or an idea on where I was heading.
After I went more in-depth I decided to focus on two types of environment and they were open and socializing environment...now what I need to do is narrow it down and choose my final idea and then start to create some blueprints of the environment from a bird’s eye view perspective and decide what I really want to do. Anyway this is the end of my blog next one would be posted as soon as I get more in depth. Thank you =D x
