Collection 100

Basing the brief on:
Classic/ Retro Games


What will i collect and document:
I am going to be looking to collect video game box art as is a key way of identifying the subject that i want to focus on. I will create a questionnaire where i can find out what people remember and what they would consider would be a good way to follow this brief through.


By collecting box art from older games i will be able to show people them and see if they do recognise any and then use the ones which seem to be noticed the most in my outcome.


I have also thought i would collect the startup videos for many of the video games that people say they remember and perhaps create away to also show the initial startup video with the final outcome.


Possible way to implement this into the brief:
I could use the above found items and information within my brief by collecting the top 100 games people remember along with the videos. I could also keep a note on dates that the games where created and create some info graphic items to see if there is a pattern being followed with the date, age and time of the games played/remembered. 


Primary Research:
Questionares,
statistics created from the data
find some retro game fan clubs and ask questions to people who consider themselves fans.
Personal favorite games


Secondary Research:
For this part of the brief i will be working with the internet mostly to make sure i have an upto date knowledge of all the retro games to backup any primary research i obtain.


I will visit game shops and see how they are sold in current styles of games along with pictures from different sources for the box art.


YouTube will allow me to find many of the intro's to the video games which will be a relief as finding them to every game i imagine to produce by video camera would be a really tricky job.
