Cours Description

The seminar "Interactive Narratives" introduces students to audio-visual aesthetics in interaction design and enables them to make creative use of storytelling in this field. The focus is on the experimental use of video and sound in the atmospheric staging of interaction sequences. The seminar bridges the gap between storytelling as an effective tool for communicating design concepts and the methodical use of prototyping in the interaction design process.

In the course of the module, students first go through several small exercises to learn the basics of developing a concept, then plan and produce a short video.

learning goals

  • Conceptual and technological skills in audio-visual design for interactive narratives
  • Sensitivity to the effects of audio-visual aesthetics in the field of expanded narration
  • Storytelling as a mediation tool and method in the design process
  • Working with mood boards
  • Working with light
