Codes and Conventions in Gaming
Recently i have been playing Assassins Creed 3 quite a lot. The Game has
a lot of cut scenes and cinematics and i have noticed how much this
looks like it is simply out of a CGI animated film. You can see that the
animators and game makers have focused so much on including the same
codes and conventions in the game-play and cut scenes as film makers do
in other movies. This reminds me how gaming is just as much a part of
media as film and TV is and shows that even in gaming the same rules and
techniques still apply.

Good observations Troy, there is a direct link between gaming and film as they both still use psychological expectations based on experience and what we are programmed with from other games and films along with story books and children's dramas these are then supported by what we observe in the world around us as we grow up.
