Audiovisual narratives in video game design, theoretical approaches, an approach to its particularities

Abstract

Video games have been investigated and analyzed from different angles and are within the classification of narratives. Particularities are evident in its design, such as a different audiovisual narrative proposal that is better adjusted to the needs of contemporary development. This research puts audiovisual narratives in context, the objective is to make a theoretical look systematizing conceptual principles that support the analysis of the relationship between audiovisual narratives, video games, information society and new media. The methodology is qualitative, the induction-deduction method, analysis-synthesis, documentary bibliographic review and qualitative content analysis were applied based on the exhibition of the "videogame" object, the results show that videogames as a cultural device contribute transformations to the new interactive cinematic language, that its audiovisual narrative has a link with the history of computers as a reflection of its time and that like any means of communication they are a cultural product that corresponds to a context, a society and some purposes; that take advantage of the narrative to expand new communication experiences.
