My Mission Maker Game
Well, my game on mission maker isn't as successful as i want it to be to be honest, its abit confusing and the things you have to do in it is really frustrating at times especailly when trying to get an object to open certain doors and basically having a rule to the game and having loads of tasks inorder to complete the game and i think that in my game i dont quite have a rule or tasks to do this and that, but i have some things in it like an object that opens the door and characters that fire at you if you enter a certain room, its still not finished so hopefully i will complete it and it will be successful. :-)

Psycho Coursework
‘PSYCHO’ was created on the 30 November 1959 and directed by Alfred Hitchcock; it was based on the book by Robert Bloch.
The plot was about a young woman, who steals $40,000 from her employer's client,
She finds a young motel owner who’s too long under the Domination of his mother.
The start of the production was on the 30th November 1959 – February 1st 1960
The release date was on the 16 June 1960 (USA)
The film locations were in:
Los Angeles, California, USA
Phoenix, Arizona, USA
Route 99 of the Fresno-Bakersfield Highway, California, USA
San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, California, USA
Characters:
Alfred Hitchcock …Director
Anthony Perkins... Norman Bates
Janet Leigh... Marion Crane
Vera Miles... Lila Crane
John Gavin... Sam Loomis
Martin Balsam...Detective Milton Arbogast
The budget cost was US$800,000 to make the film and has earned more than US$40 million
Before the film was released Alfred Hitchcock used black and white screening to give the story a mysterious look and less predictable, with also adding haunting music to the opening titles, which continues in certain scenes throughout the film. The shower scene in the film is the most famous scene ever written. Evan the trailer created suspense by Alfred Hitchcock, who took the audience round the main parts of the film, back stage but did not finish his sentences, and he kept main details a secret.
When it came out in the cinema, Hitchcock insisted that audiences should only be allowed to see the film from the start so it did not ruin the surprise that it held. This was unheard of back then, as people were used to just coming in at any point during a movie, he did this because he felt that it would create more tension; it would have more people wanting to watch it.
But Psycho had many imitations after its release, because it was so successful, with the suspense, that many other films used its idea of the ‘bathroom’ scene, for example ‘The Simpson’s’ used the idea in a few of its episodes with using the same type of music in that very scene.

Eastenders part 2
In This essay I am going to invent/create two new characters for the new Eastenders with both different characteristics and creating a description of the characters finally writing a short sample of a screen plays between the two characters.
Characters name: Ruby Linton
Age: 22
Occupation and education: An actress, studied drama at school
Gender: female
Sexuality: straight
Race/ethnicity: Canadian
Culture:
Religion: none
Class: Working
Background and relationship
To others in the square: has an older brother in the square, others find her friendly and helpful
Characters name: Leo Linton
Age: 25
Occupation and education: left school at 16 to work as serving in bars.
Gender: male
Sexuality: straight
Race/ethnicity: Canadian
Culture:
Religion: none
Class: Working
Background and relationship
To others in the square: has a younger sister in the square, others find him cheeky and very talkative.
Sample of screen play
It’s an early frosty morning, when new comers, Ruby and Leo arrive in the square; they see a grumpy old man collecting a milk bottle outside his aluminous green door.
Ruby: The people in this square don’t look so happy do they?
Leo: That’s probably coz its morning, I’m not a morning person myself
Ruby: That’s why it was so hard getting you out of the house.
Leo: That’s just me.
Script of Eastenders
Scene 724/1 EXT outside. Albert square (09.00)
(Tracers bustle in the market. Max makes his way through, carrying an armful of groceries. Ruby passes, Leo comes out of the Vic
Ruby:
Morning, max!
(Max turns around suddenly)
Max:
Yeah, Morning!
(Max then walks off puzzled, while Ruby makes her way to Leo, who is bored)
Ruby:
Bored I see?
Leo:
Uh, yeah, I just can’t find anything to do
Ruby:
Well, you can go and find a job for a start.
Leo:
What!?
Ruby:
Don’t give me that, you need a job to live here.
Leo:
Yeah, and so do you
Ruby:
I already have one.
Leo:
(Sarcastically) Fine I’ll go and look then.
(Leo then walks off in a temper)
Conclusion
In conclusion I think that my two new characters that I created for eastenders are completely different from the real east end due to that there is hardly any Canadian or Americans that live there, and there are none that act in eastenders so in my soap I have brought a new cast, new setting and new storyline.
Eastenders Coursework Part 1
Soap operas are very common in today’s society for example eastenders is a well known soap in London it generated the highest-rated soap episode ever, with 30.15 million viewers.
A soap opera is known as ongoing episodes of dramatic, personal relationships, sexual drama, emotional conflicts in fictional stories, which is usually broadcasted on television or radio and have to have existing entertainment for long enough in order for audiences to recognize them simply by the term meaning soap.
The longest running soap opera is Coronation Street since 1960, it began as a twice a week programme. Until 1989 it was shown generally on Mondays and Wednesdays. Since 1989, the series became twice as weekly with an additional episode airing on Fridays. In 1996 it was then increased to 4 episodes a week (Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays) from around 2001, extra special episodes were added and in 2002 a fifth episode was added on a regular basis.
The first soap opera was born when the manager of the Chicago (USA) radio station WGN approached a detergent company in 1930withtheaidea of a daily, serialized drama which the two central characters were a mother and her daughter which was called ‘painted dreams’ and was written by Irna and her daughter.
Personally, I think that Eastenders is well known to be watched by young teens and adults; I myself watch Eastenders and noticed that each character has a motive, and have different past and future stories.
Overall soaps are still worthwhile now a days due to the public view ratings that they get by viewers.
