Hello again,

you can now offically call me Master of Arts and therefore I will also provide my thesis here:

Story and Game combined
Using Machinima for Interactive Experiences (PDF / 3.6 MB)

Abstract

This thesis is going to introduce machinima and its history and tech-niques. Due to the possibilities of real time 3D, I will propose to use the inter-active potential of machinima. Furthermore, the concepts of the terms story and game, as well as their differences, will be discussed. This will be concluded with the suggestion of a new way of combining stories with game-elements, in order to make use of the diversity in the field of combining stories and games.
Based on this theoretical point of view, I will present three ideas for the use of the interactive potential of machinima: an interactive installation, digital theatre and live cinema. I will exemplarily develop the idea of an interactive installation to a more concrete description, a concept. This concept will use my idea of combining a story with game-like elements.
