Art, Entertainment and Leisure Criteria A

Computer Generated-Imagery (CGI) is being seen in today’s world more often that it was before. It is being seen in movie and video game industries. But since CGI is becoming more complex and so detailed that characters look almost life-like (Johnson , 2009). This issue makes the business, especially for video games, risky because games take an average of two years to create, with a large investment of money to create complex and highly detailed games. The demand for perfect games is also needed as they cost a lot (average of $50) and as that price is very high, people would look at websites and listen to recommendations before buying a game and if that game was bad, the company could lose its reputation and over time become bankrupt. So the problem is that video games and CGI overall take too much time to develop as they are required to be drawn and be very detailed. An ethical issue with CGI the physiological effect of video games on children. Since CGI looks quite realistic, children would think that it is real and affect their lives in one way or another and one of them is increased aggression (George, 2008)
