Unit 5/14 part 2 task 1B

                                         Proposal

Target audience: Young people who have an interest gaming or enjoy playing video games.

Purpose: The purpose of these two articles is to inform/entertain young people on what it is like to play video games. I will also mention the types of gamers in east London. This could help inform those who just want to have fun playing games to not get involved with people who want to ruin that.

Platforms: the two platforms I considered using was a double page spread and an e-magazine. However I also think that my second article could also be good if it was published on social media. The double page spread would be published for a week. While the social media article would stay published and would be searchable for people to view if it was published Facebook for example.

Location: gaming shop, college setting that could be used for interviews.

Images: online store, console, controller, dashboard, in game content, shop

Resources/equipment: console, games, phone for taking Images, InDesign, TV, controller and console accessories.

Cost: no payments are needed for the shots planned for the articles. However there will be a cost for publishing it on the two platforms chosen for the article. For interviews I have sources that are willing to be interviewed for free.

Logistics: I can use facts such as mentioning the bestselling games and the statistics of the rising number of gamers over the years.

Timeframe: the production will take at least 2 weeks to get all the images and writing together and have it laid out and published.

Summary: The first article will go into gaming and how games attract young people in east London. This will list several different genre of games and the impact the make on young people. This will include some big titles in the gaming industry. I will go through certain genres and some of the big titles within those genres of gaming. This article will be published on a double page spread.

The second article will focus on the types of gamers, their attitudes and what types of games you could mostly find people like this. I would like to interview some young gamers in east London and find out what gaming is like for them and how they act. This article will be published on an e-magazine or on social media for its readers. 

Both of these articles will use primary images that I would have taken of either locations related to gaming, gaming consoles and even stuff that happens in game. I plan to also take shots of gaming shops in east London and show the range of games they sell to attract customers and influence more people to game. The length of these articles will depend on what format they are published on. If published on social media one of the articles will have interactive elements such as images being interactive. The article will also be clickable going to a new tab or page to view the whole article.
