  • ILLUMINATING STORIES Great Work Starts Here
    ILLUMINATING STORIES Great Work Starts Here BAFTA has changed many lives through its programme of scholarships, masterclasses, mentoring and schools activities. BAFTA KIDS AIMED AT 7Ð12 YEAR OLDS AND FOCUSING ON SOME OF THE MOST DISADVANTAGED AREAS OF THE UK, BAFTA KIDS EDUCATES CHILDREN ON HOW FILMS, TELEVISION AND GAMES ARE MADE AND ILLUMINATES THE VARIETY OF ROLES AVAILABLE WITHIN THESE INDUSTRIES. 2 POPPYÕS STORY We met Poppy through events in Bradford and Leeds. After attending several BAFTA events and programmes, Poppy applied for Into Film talent development, setting up her own YouTube channel: Poppy Does Science. “Poppy wants to be a presenter when she’s older. So, earlier this year we set up a YouTube channel – Poppy Does Science, making her own science videos as a way to practise her presenting skills. These have led to her being recruited as a Junior Scientist for a lab supply company who have set up a page on their website showcasing more of her experiments using their equipment. She would never have had the confidence to do any of this if not for what she has learnt through opportunities such as BAFTA workshops and the encouragement she has received from the likes of TV presenters, Katie and Ben. Please keep doing what you’re doing. It really means a lot to your audience and their parents.” Paul, Poppy’s Dad 3 BAFTA KIDS BAFTA KIDS INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING ACTIVITIES: BEHIND THE SCENES LARGE-SCALE EVENTS held in schools and at relevant festivals and venues TELEVISION PRESENTING MASTERCLASSES SMALLER, MORE IN-DEPTH EVENTS held

  • The Senescence of Creativity: How Market Forces Are Killing Digital Games
    The Senescence of Creativity: How Market Forces are Killing Digital Games Matthew M. White Memorial University [email protected] Abstract This paper examines the recent wave of repetitive, derivative commercial off-the-shelf games as a phenomenon posing dangerous implications for the health and viability of the video games industry, foreshadowing particularly a major crash or paradigm shift in the near future. Implicated in these predictions are the games industry's ignorance of player wants, needs, and individualities, the dangerous economic precedent of the generation of derivative works, and the evidence of gamer dissatisfaction through free and open gaming communities. The paper poses solutions in the form of player-centred game development and participatory design, arguing that facets of each may be the measures needed to allow the games industry to emerge from the aforementioned slump. Author Keywords Innovation; creativity; slump; video games industry; game production; games studies; theory; opinion Introduction In the decades since digital games first arrived in the home, the creative process by which games come into existence has undergone a significant paradigm shift. As technology, platforms, graphics and sound have become more advanced, barriers to entry have been created, both legal and financial. Gone are the days of the Atari 2600, during which any lone designer could develop and publish a game with relative ease. Today, licenses and copyrighted engines are generally required to develop for home consoles. With those licenses come financial and logistic hurdles for aspiring game designers. The lack of originality in games is well observed among those who play them; one need look only so far as the repeating series of slightly altered “license” games released each year, some examples include the FiFA series', or Madden series.
