![Max Payne computer game script analysis
This is a computer game script so there is set narrative as well as choices that the
player can make. This is slightly different to the style seen in a film on TV script as the
word ‘OR’ shows an active choice that the player can make rather than being a passive
consumer.
This script is predominantly made up of dialogue which will be recorded by voice actors
and heard within the video game. There is also some information in brackets, this
scripted information can be describing the dialogue. For example [Police Radio], the
dialogue that follows will sound like it is coming through a police radio. It can also be
describing other information that we hear such as [3 gun shots go off]. Since this is an
interactive video game there are also many options that people may choose which is
made clear by the word ‘OR’ and we can see three different choices or outcomes.
The script starts with a prologue scene of an event called ‘the murder’ this is a slightly
different way of storytelling to Todorov’s narrative theory (1967) as we begin with the
destruction of equilibrium. EXPAND
This video game is part of the action genre, this is made obvious through the narrative
and characters including police, and characters named Thug 1 and Thug 2. The action
genre usually includes fast paced violent scenes as seen in this computer game where
we hear many gunshots and murders.
The target audience for this script is predominantly male due to the action genre which
is stereotypically preferred by men who prefer fast paced, violent themes. Moreover, the
protagonist narrator is male which would appeal more to men as they can relate further
with the characters in the game, thus making the game all the more realistic and more
enjoyable to play. The age for this script would be approximately 15-25, thus making
them lower down on the NRS scale as unlikely they would be in full-time employment.
Regarding the 4C’s scale, they would be the struggler, they will be seeking escapism
from the real world by focusing their time on fantasies such as a video game which
would give them a false sense of power.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/analysis-190115142629/85/Analysis-1-320.jpg)

Video Games And Representation
Video games often use simplistic or outdated representations of gender and ethnicity that reinforce stereotypes. Analyzing the narrative structures and character types in games using models like Vladimir Propp's can provide insights into how different groups are portrayed. While Propp's character archetypes fit the formulaic nature of many game narratives, they may not apply to open-ended or multiplayer online games where player agency is higher. Issues of representation are important to examine in both story-driven and multiplayer games.
3 Opening Films Genre
The opening of The Strangers creates an intense and scary atmosphere through its dark soundtrack and red credits font, which may symbolize death. It establishes realism and fear by stating it is based on true events and providing disturbing facts about violence in America. The opening phone call from a boy who discovers a murder scene uses a horrifying soundtrack to heighten the terror in his voice as he calls the police.

Plan
The document discusses the mise-en-scene choices for a film sequence, including settings, costumes, makeup, lighting, characters, and sound. The interrogation room setting was popular but changes to the script ruled it out. Costumes will distinguish the homeless suspect from detectives in suits. Low key lighting and a blue-filtered lamp will create suspense. Music will set an eerie atmosphere without overwhelming dialogue.
Thriller research
The document discusses several films that use thriller conventions:
Life on Mars focuses on linking the main character Sam to the future through flashbacks and seeking what sent him to the past. Now You See Me follows an FBI squad tracking illusionists who rob corrupt executives. Olympus Has Fallen uses violence and cliffhangers during a terrorist attack on the White House. Limitless explores the psychological effects of a pill that unlocks 100% of brain ability.
Anathema pitch
Two teenage boys find a ritualistic game in the attic and begin playing. Ethan enters a comatose state where his mind is transported to a demon-haunted forest dimension. As Ethan becomes trapped and is hunted, Cameron tries to help wake him from his coma. The short horror film will be 8 minutes, engage audiences with jumps scares without long pauses, and be completed by June 2017 for distribution on October 13th.
Target audiences
Horror films primarily target females and males under 35. Data shows that 44% of females and 36% of males in this age group enjoy horror films. Additionally, 15% of the general public rate horror as their favorite genre, indicating it is mainstream. To appeal to both genders, the film opening should include elements that interest both males and females under 35. Mixing genres, like adding thriller elements to horror, could also draw in more of the audience.
Audience research – quantitative data
1) The document reports the results of a 10 question online questionnaire completed by 53 individuals aged 15-21 about their preferences regarding slasher films.
2) Most respondents were female between 15-17 years old. The target demographic is focused on females and the intended film rating is 15.
3) Based on responses, the film trailer will include slasher conventions as most preferred the slasher sub-genre. It will also include psychological elements as that sub-genre was also popular.
Questionnaire results
2 females and 3 males between the ages of 17 and 21 participated in a questionnaire about psychological thrillers. Responses showed that the genre is popular due to the excitement and tension. Films like Shutter Island and Fight Club were mentioned frequently for their dark themes and plot twists involving the mind. Most respondents said they would expect to see on-screen text, key information and reviews in a thriller trailer to provide backstory and promote the film. They also wanted to see the general story outline. While audiences ranged from teenagers to adults, most said psychological thrillers appeal more to males. Respondents associated the colors black and red with the genre to represent its dark and frightening themes.
Survey analysis
The survey analyzed horror movie preferences of respondents. Supernatural and gore sub-genres were most popular, while gothic romance was least popular. Tension was found to be the scariest convention, while character deaths elicited little empathy. Blood and gore was a close second most/least frightening element. A male killer was deemed most likely by respondents, providing an opportunity for a surprising female killer twist.
Audience Research Analysis
Crime was the most popular genre, receiving 41.7% of votes. Crime procedural mystery was the most popular sub-genre due to its exploration of the investigative process. The results showed that enigmas and mysterious characters are most intriguing in crime films as they build tension. Fast-paced editing was also preferred as it provides more information in a shorter time and creates suspense. The soundtrack was deemed important for creating suspense through setting an intense atmosphere. While mysterious characters were found intriguing, most respondents felt they should not be in an opening sequence as it is important to establish the main character first.
Market research
Thrillers that receive a PG-13 rating tend to be the highest grossing as they attract a wider audience. Specifically, 19 of the top 25 highest grossing thrillers were PG-13, showing this rating allows films to reach the largest audience. Additionally, the average gross of a thriller film is $20 million, with around 3.8 million tickets typically sold. While many studios distribute thrillers, Warner Bros had the most success with 3 of the top 9 highest grossing thrillers. Thrillers generally receive a full theater release to reach their broad audience.
Secondary Target Audience Research
The document analyzes statistics about the horror genre film industry. It shows that horror films made $330 million at the domestic box office in 2014, though it is not the most popular genre. However, within the niche horror genre market, these films are popular. The statistics also show that the top-grossing horror films of 2015 fell under the psychological and supernatural sub-genres, indicating that a psychological horror film would have market appeal. While comedy and supernatural are the largest horror sub-genres, the document aims to revitalize the psychological horror sub-genre through suspense and messing with audiences' minds.
Horror Film Poster Analysis
This poster summarizes the slasher horror film "The Purge" through its visual elements and taglines. The poster prominently features the antagonist wearing a disturbing mask, indicating this is a slasher film where the killer wears a mask. The tagline "All crime is legal for 12 hours" conveys the film's premise of an annual event where all laws are suspended. Additional text encourages viewers to "Survive the night" and use the hashtag to spread awareness on social media. Overall the poster follows horror conventions through its dark color scheme, masked antagonist, and promotion of violence, death, and danger to intrigue audiences.
Audience for our opening scene
The document discusses targeting the audience for the film "Dealer's Atonement". It suggests that the main audience may be male as the antagonist and hinted main characters are male. However, the representation of males in the opening could be seen negatively as very dangerous and psychopathic. This may attract female audiences who are shown in a more positive light. An 15 age rating is proposed due to the concept of a psychopathic killer murdering someone, though no graphic violence is shown. Partnering with Miramax could target fans of their suspenseful crime thrillers who like getting drawn into films for escapism through suspense.

The energetic music matches and enhances the trailer's fast pacing and variety of scenes, supporting the game's crazy, comedic narrative.
MGS_Story
The document discusses the video game Metal Gear Solid and how it incorporates both narrative elements and gameplay. It notes that the game includes a movie version that shows only the narrative/cutscene elements. Additionally, a separate game called VR Missions focuses only on the gameplay elements without narrative. This separation allows for exploring how the game fits theories of both cyberdrama (with its narrative) and cybertext (with its interactive elements). The document argues that combining both narrative and gameplay in the original Metal Gear Solid creates a new experience that leverages the strengths of both.
Product and target audience
Grand Theft Auto 4 interacts with consumers in four ways according to media theorist Dennis McQuail: information, entertainment, personal identity, and social integration. The game provides information about real-world themes, entertainment through immersing players in a virtual world where they can do things not allowed in real life, opportunities for personal identity as the main character works through different social classes, and social integration through multiplayer modes where players can work together or against each other online.

FMP Research
The document analyzes the front and back covers of the video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It discusses the imagery, colors, fonts and other design elements used and how they help set the tone for the game's story and themes of war. Key points include how the contrasting colors on the front cover represent the chaos of war, and how images on the back cover depict different environments and perspectives to immerse the player in the action.
Research Presentation
The document analyzes various video game trailers to inform the creation of a new survival horror game trailer. Key points analyzed include targeted audience, genre, narrative elements, and production strengths and limitations.

Legend Trailer and Poster Analysis
This document provides a detailed analysis of the teaser trailer for the film Legend (2015), which tells the true story of British gangster twins Ronnie and Reggie Kray. The analysis examines each shot of the trailer in turn, describing what is seen and what inferences can be drawn about the characters, time period, and plot. It reveals that the trailer uses text overlays and shots of actor Tom Hardy portraying both twins to gradually reveal that the film is about British gangster twins who ruled London in the 1960s.
Stryker presentation2
The document provides information about the film "Stryker", including a description of it as an action cop thriller that also has thoughtful detective moments. It would likely receive a 15 rating. The document also discusses the filmmakers, influences, production process, and audience feedback on a created trailer for the film. The feedback indicated that the action was clear but the good/evil divide was sometimes unclear, and that the voiceover could be removed to improve the trailer.
Video Games And Representation
Video games often use simplistic or outdated representations of gender and ethnicity that reinforce stereotypes. Analyzing the narrative structures and character types in games using models like Vladimir Propp's can provide insight into these representations. Propp identified common character types like heroes, villains, and helpers that frequently appear in stories and map onto characters in many video game narratives. Examining games through this lens can help reveal the ways they position players and represent different groups.
Battleffield 3
The document provides an analysis of a soundtrack excerpt from the game Battlefield 3. It describes the setting as an indoor interrogation with subtle ambient sounds like footsteps and machinery. The mood is described as tense due to the angry and pressing questioning. The genre is determined to be action based on the dialogue. The narrative centers around characters interrogating a third about someone named "Dima" and events in Paris, suggesting an intelligence or military scene. Production techniques identified include foley artistry, software sequencers, field recording, and studio recording.
TLDR: Making a small game, well

Earlier in the year, we decided to make a game in 6 months. In this session, we’ll talk about how we did it, how we built a successful launch, and how we’re capitalizing on its surprise success
Casino royale essay- Lucy
The opening scene of Casino Royale sets up expectations for the rest of the film. It introduces James Bond as a secret agent through brief dialogue and shows him with guns, indicating his job will involve crime and violence. Flashbacks also reveal Bond must get two kills to achieve double-O status. The title sequence ties the film's theme of casinos to cards. The main character is James Bond, played by an actor known for physically embodying the role and appealing to both male and female audiences. Bond's dialogue and suits imply he is professional and authoritative.
Stryker presentation
The document discusses a film called "Stryker", describing it as an action-packed cop thriller that would likely receive a 15 rating.

Mohammad—It appears you have done much reading on this topic; however, the paper itself is confusing. While your last paper was fairly easy to understand, here the phrasing is unclear. In the past I have had no problem reading your English which has been quite clear and direct, but here you use phrases which make no sense to me. An example would be calling a video game a “diversion” or a “feature amusement.” The phrasing throughout is awkward and difficult to follow.
The other problem is that you seem to be a bit confused about what the one main claim is for the paper. You state in your e-mail that the claim is that “video games create violent children in real life.” However, the final paragraph, states quite directly that there is no definite link between violence in children and the games they play. This is more confusing because in the paper itself you offer some strong testimony from authorities that there might be a link between specific games and violent behavior.
I read through the paper more than once hoping to understand exactly what you mean. I do see some valid sources in the paper, but the paper is just too out of focus and the wording too difficult.
9 out of 15 points
The opening sentence of any paper is ultimately important, Mohammad, as it either invites the reader to consider the thoughts of the paper or turns them away. Your first sentence is difficult to understand. Read it out loud and consider whether or not the meaning is clear from a reader’s point of view. There are other phrases in this opening paragraph which are also confusing. For instance, what does “vicious feature amusements” mean exactly? What does “characters in the diversion” mean?
For me, it sounds like you are starting the paper in praise of some sort of “amusement” because it takes the worry away from kids. Is that really what you want to argue? You need to be specific in what “diversions” you are referring to. If you mean video games, state this directly.
This paper will endeavor to demonstrate, that announcements made with respect to the unseemliness of feature diversions are untrue. The preference of playing feature amusements could be demonstrated in their capacity to improve learning, deftness, and this thusly can empower kids and adolescents to improve in school. Vicious feature amusements can help overcome tension by giving amusement without going out, taking regular worries on the characters in the diversion rather than genuine living, takes the juvenile's personalities off stresses and anxiety of the outside world, and sways kids to stay out of inconvenience. Feature recreations can render these different explanations against feature diversions and their makers are false. Feature amusements help diminish push and outrage by giving an outlet to pressure, giving excitement, and giving inspiration to reliably accomplish higher score ...
Planning
Storyboards are a key planning tool used in film production. They allow filmmakers to visualize scenes before filming begins. Developed in the 1930s by Walt Disney, storyboarding became a standard technique in live-action filmmaking during the 1940s. It provides a visual representation of script ideas and camera shots to help develop the film's timeline and plot. The document then discusses specific storyboards created for a short film called "Dangerous Game" focusing on characters, locations, camera angles, lighting and audio.

Analysis
- 1. Max Payne computer game script analysis This is a computer game script so there is set narrative as well as choices that the player can make. This is slightly different to the style seen in a film on TV script as the word ‘OR’ shows an active choice that the player can make rather than being a passive consumer. This script is predominantly made up of dialogue which will be recorded by voice actors and heard within the video game. There is also some information in brackets, this scripted information can be describing the dialogue. For example [Police Radio], the dialogue that follows will sound like it is coming through a police radio. It can also be describing other information that we hear such as [3 gun shots go off]. Since this is an interactive video game there are also many options that people may choose which is made clear by the word ‘OR’ and we can see three different choices or outcomes. The script starts with a prologue scene of an event called ‘the murder’ this is a slightly different way of storytelling to Todorov’s narrative theory (1967) as we begin with the destruction of equilibrium. EXPAND This video game is part of the action genre, this is made obvious through the narrative and characters including police, and characters named Thug 1 and Thug 2. The action genre usually includes fast paced violent scenes as seen in this computer game where we hear many gunshots and murders. The target audience for this script is predominantly male due to the action genre which is stereotypically preferred by men who prefer fast paced, violent themes. Moreover, the protagonist narrator is male which would appeal more to men as they can relate further with the characters in the game, thus making the game all the more realistic and more enjoyable to play. The age for this script would be approximately 15-25, thus making them lower down on the NRS scale as unlikely they would be in full-time employment. Regarding the 4C’s scale, they would be the struggler, they will be seeking escapism from the real world by focusing their time on fantasies such as a video game which would give them a false sense of power.
