Connections and Differences Between Cinema and Videogames Storytelling

Cinema is designed for an audience, as videogame is designed for players. On one side there is a passive reception of a story and director vision, and on the other side an active participation to an experience. The writing for each media seems to be completely different. But despite this apparent gap they are inspired and nourished by each other. Narrative games take more and more their shots, direction, actors from films, and cinema is more and more looking into branched stories and inspired by the interactivity offered by videogames to involve their audience. They still have a lot to learn from each other narrative language. On the storytelling aspect the differences between these two media tend to blur.

Biography:
Born in 1976, Jehanne Rousseau has been very early on passionate about imaginary universes and video games. At 22, she entered the video game industry as a graphic designer and quickly became a project manager, developing games on Gameboy, home consoles, PCs and mobile phones. In 2008, she created with a group of colleagues, the video game company « Spiders », of which she is the CEO and principal scriptwriter. Fascinated by both the “red planet” and science fiction, she created the universe of Mars and two related video game scenarios : Mars War Logs (released in 2013), and The Technomancer (released in 2016). She also imagined the universe of Faery : Legends of Avalon, based on the illustrations of Jean-Baptiste Monge, and the universe of Greedfall, a game that will be released in 2019.
