Tearaway Media review

Language

The title of this brand new game that was 

recently released in November 22nd 2013 is called..
'TEARAWAY' The packaging of this game is a settle blue,
and green theme. The text itself is in a blue/green colour followed by a white background. The picture has a man doll standing ahead like superhero which is the main character as you peak behind you can see
a creepy looking monster and a deer. Followed by lovely clouds while the sun peaks through. There is a video game advert which appears to
have characters running through different missions showing how the game works which is a demo
                                                 

Institution

The game was produced by a media molecule but 

It was found by Alex EvansMark Healey which are the founders of this game. The original producer is playstation vita. i wouldn't say it was as successful as the game they produced before called 'LittleBigplanet' as they have to give away bonus offers because not as many people were buying it but itself the people that bought it were satisfied with the game. It was advertised as a trailer it got 44,916 views which is alot but when it was first advertised the hype was over exciting and had first gotten 216,560 compared to what they got recently. To conclude on a scale from 1-10 it was a 6.7 as it wasn't as successful as i thought it was so in the future i would make the game have more action and have more levels that you want to get to and motivate you to going further. 


Audience


This game looks like the target audience is very low its targeted at little kids from age 7 and above of mainly male gender as it uses the color theme blue and green which infers it's mainly targeted at boys.It doesn't look like a game for girls to play as it involves fighting but it could be a female game if you played it once depending on your liking but otherwise they mainly targeted the male audience. In my opinion they could have made the target age for males and females so that the game would've been more successful and would probably be hitting the top charts of gaming.



Representation 


The picture of the game in my opinion is mainly targeted as a male because there's no female's taking place which suggests maybe this game is a no female play zone and not really suggesting much for other age groups which makes it harder to decide if a girl can play this or not. The producers could have made the packaging more attractive but i think this simple packaging it also very decent enough for the children.

  1. Kajal, sensational fruitbowl - perfectly sums up the vibrant theme. Great work so far, some WWWs and EBIs for you to consider.

    WWW: Well done, professionally presented and formatted. A great start to Media.
    WWW: You’ve covered all of the bases and have obviously spent a considerable amount of time constructing your analysis.

    EBI: Your analysis was deeper – the examiner will want to know of any inferences you could make based on the evidence that was in front of you.
    Action: FULLY explain all of your points, including why you think the audience is of a certain demographic and exactly what effect the colours/images/institution/reputation would have had on the target audience

    EBI: Your writing was accurate and (where possible) formal for analyses.
    -Action: Spell check your work (digitally AND visually). Make sure your sentences MAKE SENSE

    Well done so far!

    Sir
