Video gaming has increased massively in popularity and this course will give you hands-on experience in developing and creating games for this ever-growing industry. On this course, you will cover how to come up with ideas, research, plan and then produce materials in preparation for careers and progression into the exciting world of video games production. Our new Gaming & Creative Digital Studios opened in September 2021 – we can’t wait to welcome you, to share your passion not just for playing games, but for how they are made and brought to audiences for consumption.
Research into the history of video gaming and create a timeline of some of the key events that have shaped modern gaming. Start in the 1950s and bring us right up into 2022.
Things to include in your timeline are:
Use text and images to display your findings. Be as creative as you can with displaying this information!
Make a collage of your gaming habits to show us what types of games you like to play and write some annotations on why you like them.
