Kieran Bradley conducted experiments in Photoshop to learn tools and techniques for creating a video game. He created layers, blocks of color, and frames with timing to learn how to use the timeline tool. Kieran then drew character sprites with weapons and added color, exploring the pencil and coloring tools. He created bullets and added timing to frames. Kieran reflected that he will use the timeline tool, colors, and tools from his experiments in his final video game product.
4. production experiments final (1)
- 2. Process The above image you see was an experiment that I did, in order to show the process on the timeline tool within Photoshop. To do this process well I needed to make sure I got the timing of each image correct. To do this, I first created a layer and made all of the correct measurements to ensure I had the right sized blank canvas, then I produced a number of coloured blocks to show how the timeline tool works, as I will be using this throughout my production. I then copied one black and repeated this process throughout, then I added a time on to each frame, this allowed me to put the frames on a continuous loop.
- 3. Reflection • What elements of your experiments will you include in your final product? • Looking at this process, I have seen that I will use a number of different elements, for example I will use the timeline tool throughout my production. Also I will use the colouring tool, that I have used in this process because this will help me bring my video game to life in a way, and also set the scene. Also I may use a number of different tools that I haven’t included in this experiment process, I may use, the stroke tool for example.
- 4. Process During this process I created my experiment characters, to do this I selected the pencil tool, then set this to pixels. I then drew the two characters, with weapons, at this stage I started to create my timeline and also add the time that I wanted each frame to last. I also created the bullets for the weapons and used the colouring tool to add colour to them. Also on this slide you will see my final experiment. I am pleased with how it turned out, because I know that pixel art, drawing isn’t one of my strong points, but with this being said I think I have produced something that resembles a game and I can justify each tool I have used and why I used them.
- 5. Reflection • What elements of your experiments will you include in your final product? – After completing this process, I have taken away few elements that I would like to use when I come to produce my video game. I will take away the colours that I have used, because I think that they go very well together. I will also take away the different tools that I have used when carrying out this process.
- 6. Process During this process I explored the timeline tool that is one of the very important elements, when I come to produce my video game. I have now learnt about this tool, I will also take away the timings that I have used within my experiment and use them in my final product.
- 7. Reflection • What elements of your experiments will you include in your final product? – I will include the same timing I have used throughout my experiment, I will also use the same colours and the same movement I have produced. Also I will include the same theme I have incorporated throughout my experiment.
