Blog Task Week 13 - La Decima Vittima

This week we watched a film called La Decima Vittima (The Tenth Victim). The film was based on assassinations. People could gain a licence and from this they would gradually receive a photograph and a name of someone that they would have to assassinate. The film was pretty silly and pointless. All the assassinations would lead up to the tenth victim of the two hunters with the person who killed the victim getting a prize of money.

This film influenced pervasive games. These are games that are in collaboration with the real world and real time. There is also a a short documentary we watched based on the game called Killer.

In killer people of the real world faked to be assassins. They would receive a picture and a name of a target (another person). It would be their job to stalk the other player and find out as much details as they can about them. Eventually they would have to assassinate them using non violent weapons such as wooden spoons, nurf guns etc.
