Industry Convergence: Film, TV, Music, Toys & Games
----------------------------------------------------------

The game industry is the fastest growing segment of the entertainment
market and an excellent field for career advancement for film, television,
and music industry professionals who are interested in making a career
transition. To prepare participants who want to advance their careers in
the game business or who are merely interested in this rapidly converging
market, this course will cover both similarities and differences between
games and film/television and discuss how to transfer traditional media
skills to specific positions within the game industry. 

Topics covered include genres, platforms, storytelling techniques,
character development, ratings, historical analysis, market research,
production phases, management techniques, crew roles and responsibilities,
cinematics vs player control, linearity vs non-linearity, player-developer
collaboration, and the significance of gameplay. New hybrid forms of
entertainment – such as machinima (“machine cinema”) -- will also be
covered.
