Part of your exam will be about Minecraft.
Sample
exam question:
‘Explain
the impact of digitally convergent media platforms
on video game production, distribution and
consumption. Refer to Minecraft to support your
answer.’
To begin with, it is worth considering why people play video games in general. Then, what makes Minecraft different?
Consider who the audience are. This about demographics and psychographics. What are the uses and gratifications?
Also, begin to consider industrial factors of this text. It was originally produced independently, but is now owned by a huge international company.
Rewatch the documentary and then answer the following questions:
■What are the uses and gratifications of
Minecraft? Give specific examples of how the game entertains, helps audiences
to identify with others and how it educates.
■What are the advantages and disadvantages of Minecraft
being owned by Microsoft?
This must be completed by 25th September and available to view on your
blog
