La decima vittima

this week we watched a film called La Decima Vittima (The Tenth Victim). The film was based on people pretending to fake assassinate each other. In this film people could gain a licence and from this they would gradually receive a photograph and a name of their that they would then have to assassinate. All the assassinations would lead up towards the tenth and final target and  whoever killed the victim would get the prize of money.

I feel this film influenced pervasive games. These are games that are in collaboration with the real world and real time. During this lesson we also watched a short documentary which was based on the game called Killer.

In killer people of the real world faked to be assassins. While doing this they would receive a picture and a name of a target (another person)this is exactly how the film above was. It would then be their job to find out as much about the other player. Eventually they would have to assassinate them using non violent weapons such as a wooden spoon, nurf guns, umbrellas etc.
