Year 3: Research report: Analysing industry report

In the document I will be analyzing a research reports done by another students. I will be analyzing this and taking some points on board and how they have sell their documents and how they have structured the then apply this to my own research reports. I have cut down the documents into segments of the different chapters just to get an example of each chapter and then analyse that.

The first page:
the first page is simply laid out with most of the text centered on the screen.  at the top of the page the title is the first thing shown followed by midway down the page that type of research focuses an industry report. Then it lists the the person's name student number and access to his blog as well as the course name and year.


The Abstract:
This is a quick summary of what will be in the document explaining quickly certain phrases that  the reader may not know as well as  listing will be at the start middle and end of the document. an example for my document would be me explaining what early access was and how it has been utilized through steam and also what the purpose of this process is.


Contents:
The content page lists all be pages and titles of some papers and  what page you can find them on a very simple list allowing the reader to know where the relevant information is.

Introduction:
The introduction is very straightforward listing in a page or two what will be in the  documents and explaining some base concepts to the reader than elaborating on how you will be discussing these concepts and what your end goal by the end of the document the introduction is meant to be brief and informative allowing readers to have a clear view of what the document will contain.



Chapter one: Independent game to that moment
This is the start of the meat of the document it starts off with the first chapter which is one of four in the whole document. It is apparent very quickly that there are many quotes and references to different sources of information I knew this would be a part of the documents now I know the every point must be backed up and it's some of the keep in mind when I'm writing my research report. The second and third page contains an image related to the document I didn't know that images will alarm the document sports is obvious that the images must be directly connected with the document.


Chapter 2: AAA Game Development:
Moving onto the second chapter it clearly flows from the first to the second and where the chapters meets tries to me over as smoothly as possible.  As well as the start of the second chapter of the writer of the documents is given examples straight away clearly and concise about what that chapters about in this case triple-A game development carrying facts and figures of multiple different games.

Summary of chapters: 
it is clear from looking at this industry reports that the amount of quotation and reference has to be substantial and has to reinforce every single point made by the author. This will definitely have to be a feature that I employ in my document in order explained to the reader my points clearly.




Conclusion:
In the conclusion the author goes through all the previous chapters and sums up what all three chapters mean and how they interact with each other as well as using select quotes in order to reinforce the writer's point. It is obvious that the conclusion is meant to summarise and reinforce the point the Rovers making the something I will have to implement in my document.




Appendix:
This is where the writer has gathered is relevant text from articles that they are referenced in their work and because of the nature of my article I will definitely have to  include this at my documents because of the month of articles and websites I've reference.




Bibliography:
a simple bibliography referencing books, articles or other sources something I'm very familiar with and will definitely use.


Webography:
more often than not I have usually summed up all my sources into one bibliography but because of the amount of information that I have obtained from websites I will definitely use a webography  in my documents this was a tip I do not know.






Ludography
This term I had not come across before and because of the nature of my documents it is necessary that I will have to use one of these as I reference a lot of games is a good way to compile them in a professional looking way.
