OBLIGATION - GAME AESTHETIC

GAME AESTHETIC

Identifying the aesthetic that we want to achieve is an incredibly important aspect of the video because it will influence the way that it is perceived by a viewer. For example, if we choose a more slick and modern aesthetic, it could be taken more seriously and we might have more chance of the video convincing people that Obligation is a real game. However, if we use an old game aesthetic, this also has appeal in the sense that it is a popular and admired style of design and would appeal to our target audience as it is nostalgic.  

Old game aesthetic Vs New game aesthetic

Old game:
- Seen as nostalgic
- Can be used as a form of satire

- Based on pixels - with block colour and basic design



New aesthetic:

- Modern, contemporary, suggests the unknown, high tech
- Would make someone interested in 'Obligation' in a sense of unknown
