A02 – Multimedia DesignBy Adam Henning

Audience The Audience of my Multimedia product will be people

who play/enjoy Minecraft. Minecraft is a video game played on the PC. It is a sandbox game, emphasised on creating and building, which allows players to create buildings using textured cubes in a 3D world. There is a huge amount of freedom in the game, with no set objectives. There are huge range of blocks such as dirt, wood, stone, water and ores. In minecraft there are 2 game modes: Survival where you have to survive the day and night to build a shelter. The other game mode is creative, players can access every single block and have an unlimited supply of them. You can break all blocks instantly and fly around the world. The main audience will be people who are gamers who play minecraft or want to get into playing minecraft. The main age will be 12+ as younger people may not understand fully how minecraft works. People who don’t play Minecraft or dislike Minecraft may not enjoy my multimedia product as much.

Purpose The purpose of my multimedia product is to

educate people who have not have played minecraft on how to play minecraft and what to do when they start out. If they have played minecraft for a while and want to develop their knowledge such as how to find diamonds and get to the nether. If people are very good at minecraft and don’t need to have a look at the educating section, then they can have look at all of the other sections such as how to build and how to craft. The product is aimed at all ranges of players.
