Analyses
Brave New World & We Happy Few (2020)
The assignment was to find two related scenes/moving image sequences. Between the two, one had to be an interactive digital one and the other a classic film moment, Then to compare them and find the specific ways in which each scene applies expressive means of the moving image. During the comparison, key elements and other relevant information are to be included to further express a/the moving image.
I had to pick an existing digital/physical interface such as a game controller, a mobile device, an information kiosk, and analyze it as a tangible interface with certain digital as well as physical qualities. With the chosen interface I was to make a critical analysis and express in what way the interface is tangible, performative, and experiential.

Little Nightmares(2017)
For this assignment, we were to choose a current or existing piece of media and analyze its narrative while using terms within Marita Sturken's and Lisa Cartwright's Practices of Looking: An Introduction to Visual Culture. A book with a comprehensive and engaging overview of how we understand a wide array of visual media and how we use images to express ourselves, to communicate, to play, and to learn. Also, using concepts and theories from scholars, Henry Jenkins and Ronald Barthes. We had to first express and digest the narrative to gain understanding and make and reference concepts provide by these scholars. Along with general concepts such as realism and perspective.
