Research plan

Slide 1 : Project title (Why are videogame to movie adaptations often considered unsuccessful?)

Slide 2: Resident Evil Apocalypse film poster (Short talk about why i have chosen this as my focus film and its positive and negative points supported by items.)

Slide 3: Tomb Raider Lara Croft film poster (whos demand these films, Short talk about how this film's success could have been based on several things such as its much larger budget along with its impressive cast, popularity of the game ,why did it become so big?)

Slide 4: BloodRayne film poster (short talk about how there are some famous name's "Michelle Rodriguez", "Meat Loaf" but the film still plummeted despite this because of its complete irrelevance to the game series and poor overall plot.)

Slide 5:the phenoma of gaME TO FILM ADAPTATIONS. SuperMario Bros film poster (Short talk about why this film flopped even with its multi million people fan base and if there was something that could have been done to change it)

Slide 2 through to 5 will include Budget and gross revenue of the particular film at the bottom of each slide.

Slide 6: why people find these` (What are the basic problems with videogame to film adaptations and why is it that so far the adaptations quite often follow very little of the game their of)

Slide 7: SuperMario Bros film poster again (Go into detail about flaws of the film like character relationship along with the lack of characteristics from the game, and the differences that just made no sense as a SuperMario title)

Slide 8: BloodRayne film poster again (Go into detail about the unusual storyline compared to the games which are set roughly 150 years in the future, although the detail in creating the character "Rayne" as close to the videogame protagonist has been well achieved and how fans may or may not have acknowledged this)

Slide 9: Tomb Raider Lara Croft film poster again (Go into detail about how the films cast could have made this film what it is, like using Angelina Jolie as a star basically selling the movie, and how her fans would watch her in anything)

Slide 10: Resident Evil Apocalypse film poster again (Go into detail about how fan's of the game series would make a point of seeing this film because of the appearance of the Resident Evil game franchise most popular protagonist Jill Valentine and how this is similar to how Angelina Jolie is used to sell Tomb Raider but on a smaller scale and how with the Resident Evil series it keeps there target audience to gamers but with Tomb Raider it expands it to Angelina's fan's as well)

Slide 11: Resident Evil 1 game cover + Apocalypse film cover (Keep on specifics of how the game series revolves around survival horror the suspense of whats around the corner by using fixed camera's to create a claustrophobic atmosphere whereas the film has been turned into just an action movie with zombies more of a sci fi movie than a horror film.)

Slide 12: Conclusion All four movie poster's besides a poster for the respective game series (Conclude that whilst the directors of these movies aren't creating a proper adaption of the game they can't really make the film work such as using fairly basic things from the game series such as recognisable locations, accurate representation of characters and a plot that fits with the game's)
