Analysis of video game


                                  Video game advertisement

Language:
The title of the video game game is fifa 13.you could play this on PlayStation and Xbox.On the game there is an image of some players from different teams representing themselves and they are all boys.The effect created here is that this game is mainly for boys because there are boys in the front cover of the video game fifa 13.Also many people know that football is mainly played buy boys so this game is made for them.the different team players are there to show that what characters there are in this game so you know that there is a team that you support and also to show who you could compete against.Also on the front cover it shows how many people you could play with together.also it tells that you could play with your friends if they have the same game as you.  

Institution:
The game was produced by PlayStation and it is available on ps3 and Xbox.the original game was produced for play station because many people buy play station than any other console.it was successful because on the game cover there were different team players and many people liked that so they bought the game also they tried that game in the shop advertisement were you can come in and actually  try and play the so if you like it you could buy it.it was also successful because many people (boys) couldn't play football outside sometimes because of the rain so if they have the video game it will be amazing.another positive thing about fifa the video game is that many parts have come out for example-part 1...part 13 etc so many people would like to try that out.

Audience:  
This game is aimed at mainly at boys aged 8-18.this is because boys like to play football and it is a boys profession anyway so many boys will play it.although it is aimed mostly at boys still some girls play it.also friends play with other friends so there could be younger and older people playing.

representation:
The very fashionable cover shows different players and it doesn't show any kind of racism because there are players from all around the world.although it has team players it shows that this is a game for boys because it only shows boys at the front cover.this shows that this video game is design for boys and also the colour of the video game is blue which shows indicates that it is for boys because it is blue.also showing that its played play station not many girls have PlayStation so they think that its made for boys.

  1. WWW: You have written a detailed analysis here and your points on representation are excellent. Many students struggle with this concept but you have made some very valid points regarding the representation of men.
    EBI: Institution needs a bit more research - FIFA is made by EA Sports for Playstation (and other platforms). Check this!
    LR: Correct Institution as per comments above.
