Blog 6: Multimodal Project Proposal

How do video games impact kids?

·      Can kids figure out their identity with video games?

·      Do video games have a bad impact on kids?

·      Can a kid get lost in the fake world of video games?

I want to know if video games mainly have a good impact on kids. I want to make a Facebook page (since older people have took over that area of social media) or a Youtube video that is intended for older people. I want parents to not look down on video games like they are a bad thing and serve no purpose in a kids life. I want people to be able to use video games as a good thing like maybe educational use or what have you.

Parents of kids who play video games in Lincoln that use facebook or watch youtube.

·      They live anywhere in Lincoln

·      30-40 age range

·      Male and female

·      any race

·      any religion, class, or job

I want to do my genre on a facebook page that is intended for Parents in Lincoln that shows the good impact of video games on kids. Maybe a youtube video that goes on the page or create the page around the video. I’m not sure what exactly I want to do yet but it will be something like that. I want to reach kids parents and let them know that video games aren’t bad. Or maybe even an infomercial about the good effects of video games.

YouTube video modes:

·      Voice over

·      Dialogue

·      Text on screen

·      Music

·      Camera Angles

·      Lighting

Facebook page modes:

·      Pictures

·      Graphs

·      Posts

·      Videos

Infomercial modes:

I understand Facebook pages and YouTube videos well but I don’t really understand an infomercial.
