Description

Starting from the nature of traditional narrative and story structure, this course provides intensive hands-on work in the understanding and development of creative design documents for films, games and other interactive media. It focuses especially on the intersection of narrative, gameplay and interactivity, and how these concepts are translated into a design document. Students spend time analysing the components of different media, before developing an original design idea.
