Designing A Reality Game Show That Goes By The Title Of Quickwitt

As a young boy, nothing appealed to me more than Saturday cartoons. The feeling of waking up every morning feeling excited to see what this week’s episode might bring to the table. Every individual show had its own way to express itself whether it be the action, animations/art style, or even the morals it tries to projects to the viewer. Every one of these shows gave me ideas on how to expand my imagination and not to be ashamed of embracing such characteristic. Then, this one particular Saturday morning, I got up and switched on the television to be introduced to a new fictional show that I’ve never seen before. From that day forward, because of that one fictional character, I fell in love with the television series called Dragonball.

Animation and Video Games allow many of us to disconnect from our daily lives in order to enjoy an experience that can take us to grand new worlds and gives many people the opportunity to connect with charming and unique characters. Generally, this is considered to be a good thing, however many people fail to realize that the industries behind these forms of entertainment are subject to the same pitfalls that befall most businesses. This means that these industries are subject to things such as supply and demand, bankruptcy, and the outsourcing of jobs. These are the leading causes of the biggest problem in these specific industries currently which is layoffs. Unfortunately, this means that many individuals are unaware of how prominent layoffs are in the Animation and Video Game industry along with their underlying causes as well as how such actions can affect the lives of the individual artists who are responsible for creating the content that brings joy and happiness to many of our lives.

According to Professor McNamara, children’s television was the “niche television” in that it was the first genre a network branded itself around (McNamara). The first experimentation with branding began in cable television with Nickelodeon. Sarah Banet-Weiser, author of “The Nickelodeon Brand: Buying and Selling the Audience,” states that Nickelodeon successfully branded itself as the network of “kids’ empowerment,” which was crucial to building a loyal audience of children (Banet-Weiser, 235). The channel’s consistent branding was valuable to its success because it allowed Nickelodeon to produce unique content for an audience that had not been recognized, and it allowed advertisers who targeted children to have a more direct reach to their targeted demographic. Since the emergence of Nickelodeon, branding has become prevalent in cable, broadcast and streaming television as a method to develop core audiences, redefine programming strategies, and attract niche sponsors. As Banet-Weiser writes, “Combined with the continued reach of the cable industry into more and more niche channels...the brand identity of channels...have achieved a new economic significance” (Banet-Weiser, 235). The significance of brand identity makes it crucial for networks to establish clear and cohesive

Television has a very big impact on how people act. The movie, The Merchants of Cool, proved that people can be persuaded by what they see. Many advertisements are aimed to target the teenage market, since they are the driving force of sales and audiences. People know that teens will do whatever it takes to fit in with their friends. In order for one to appreciate the effects of marketing on teens, one could consider The Merchants of Cool as an example of the sociological factors at play, and the effects of such marketing on school culture and teen values.

The game show artifact is a math lesson. I found the PowerPoint game template online. The Who Wants to be a Millionaire game requires students to work as a team to answer questions regarding GFC or Greatest Common Factor.

In the 1920s, radio was king of the new entertainment world, but by the 1930s television became the new ruler. The invention of television brought a whole new type of culture into the United States and beyond. Television had redefined leisure, bringing what once were typically radio shows to new life. In the late 1940s, news stations such as NBC and CBS sought to turn over their programs to be part of the largely profitable new medium. As popularity quickly rose, where in six years the number of television sets in the US jumped from a mere 6,000 to a staggering 12 million by 1951, the networks attempted to keep up by offering new material. Here enters the ever popular game show.

In the year 2000, Music Games International (MGI) was founded as a company that produced music and sound effects for websites. Three friends, Alexander (Sasha) Gimpelson, Igor Tkachenko, and Roman Yakub were the founders of the company. Roman and Igor, professional musicians and composers, formed the creative part of the group, while Sasha, a graduate from Harvard Business School, ran the business operations of the company (Polzer, Vargas, & Elfenbein, 2003). After the launch of the company, the future seemed very promising. However, after the Internet bubble burst, business went down because people could no longer afford their services. The group then came up with the idea of a promising product— an interactive music-based game. The creative force of the group, Roman and Igor, had no problem as their department depended on their musical talents. Sasha, however, who ran business operations such as production, sales and marketing, was overwhelmed by being the sole businessperson in the company.

The gaming industry has evolved from a small production into a blockbuster business and is the fastest growing category of mass media around today. This industry is a vital part of the global and U.S. economy, contributing to job opportunities and a constant increase in GDP revenue. With sales that outweigh most other markets, gaming has added to the GDP by almost $5 billion. The revenue from gaming is an estimated $82 billion which is five times greater than global music, $16.5 billion, and similar to movie revenues (André Marchand and Thorsten Hennig-Thurau 2013). Over a 25-year period, the gaming industry has grown annually between 9% and 15% which is outperforming the U.S. economy, at only a 2.4% annual increase. The expansion that this industry has undergone in just the last decade has bean a huge feat for the economy as well as the U.S. culture.
