Dialogue: 0,0:05:59.06,0:06:04.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ologists view of narrative so I think
Dialogue: 0,0:06:02.33,0:06:06.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they have too limited a conception of

Dialogue: 0,0:17:33.92,0:17:41.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what that was we carry on so moving on
Dialogue: 0,0:17:40.25,0:17:42.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so the evocative narrative of
Dialogue: 0,0:17:41.51,0:17:47.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,blood-borne is
Dialogue: 0,0:17:42.61,0:17:47.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's Lovecraftian kind of homage I guess
Dialogue: 0,0:17:48.00,0:17:54.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so moving on to the idea of an enacted

Dialogue: 0,0:20:56.48,0:21:02.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,could almost map this onto this so that
Dialogue: 0,0:21:01.52,0:21:06.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a narrative and space work together

Dialogue: 0,0:21:08.84,0:21:16.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,narratives so these are narrative that

Dialogue: 0,0:21:23.60,0:21:28.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,uses the example of attractions in

Dialogue: 0,0:21:34.28,0:21:38.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,used the word attractions broadly to
Dialogue: 0,0:21:36.29,0:21:40.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,describe any element within a world work

Dialogue: 0,0:21:40.43,0:21:44.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,impact and theorized that the themes of
Dialogue: 0,0:21:42.74,0:21:49.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the work could be communicated across
Dialogue: 0,0:21:44.39,0:21:51.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and through these discrete elements so
Dialogue: 0,0:21:49.40,0:21:54.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,here's a few shots from battleship

Dialogue: 0,0:21:54.77,0:21:59.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Odessa steps sequence so this is
Dialogue: 0,0:21:57.14,0:22:01.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like the Tsar's army shooting upon the
Dialogue: 0,0:21:59.39,0:22:03.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,peasantry which supposed to be sparked

Dialogue: 0,0:22:03.02,0:22:06.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,kind of propaganda film but it's
Dialogue: 0,0:22:04.76,0:22:08.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,interesting because it's the very early
Dialogue: 0,0:22:06.50,0:22:09.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,days of film this was the guy who
Dialogue: 0,0:22:08.42,0:22:12.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,created film editing
Dialogue: 0,0:22:09.75,0:22:14.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,basically and within this one big
Dialogue: 0,0:22:12.21,0:22:15.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,contested space like Henry Jenkins talks
Dialogue: 0,0:22:14.31,0:22:17.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about this as a contested space just
Dialogue: 0,0:22:15.84,0:22:19.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like in the video game you have all of

Dialogue: 0,0:22:30.24,0:22:33.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about these as micro narratives
Dialogue: 0,0:22:31.92,0:22:37.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,something that's a useful way to think
Dialogue: 0,0:22:33.51,0:22:41.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about them so we have micro narrative as
Dialogue: 0,0:22:37.29,0:22:43.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cutscene so Henry Jenkins talks about
Dialogue: 0,0:22:41.37,0:22:46.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how these can often be cutscenes and
Dialogue: 0,0:22:43.98,0:22:47.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,games these micro narratives but they
Dialogue: 0,0:22:46.05,0:22:48.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,don't have to be and I think is
Dialogue: 0,0:22:47.70,0:22:51.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,interesting that there's only one
Dialogue: 0,0:22:48.75,0:22:54.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,significant cutscene in blood-borne and
Dialogue: 0,0:22:51.42,0:22:58.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's when you touch Lawrence's skull and
Dialogue: 0,0:22:54.77,0:23:01.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they then see a flashback to William and
Dialogue: 0,0:22:58.41,0:23:03.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Lawrence having their falling out which
Dialogue: 0,0:23:01.83,0:23:05.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,led to the creation of the healing
Dialogue: 0,0:23:03.21,0:23:08.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,church as a really significant moment
Dialogue: 0,0:23:05.91,0:23:09.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's narratively motivated as well
Dialogue: 0,0:23:08.16,0:23:11.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so it's not I don't think a
Dialogue: 0,0:23:09.57,0:23:13.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hard-and-fast cutscene it's basically
Dialogue: 0,0:23:11.49,0:23:15.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like you're seeing what the character
Dialogue: 0,0:23:13.17,0:23:17.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sees at that point because his knowledge
Dialogue: 0,0:23:15.24,0:23:23.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is is coming from the skull and is
Dialogue: 0,0:23:17.79,0:23:26.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,seeing a historical event play out and
Dialogue: 0,0:23:23.39,0:23:27.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's got an important bit of
Dialogue: 0,0:23:26.25,0:23:29.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,information in it as well right it's got
Dialogue: 0,0:23:27.57,0:23:31.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a password that you need to progress
Dialogue: 0,0:23:29.07,0:23:34.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,through the game so it's incredibly

Dialogue: 0,0:24:11.01,0:24:15.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,quest including two occasions where you

Dialogue: 0,0:28:05.87,0:28:10.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really enigmatic basically it's if you

Dialogue: 0,0:28:26.12,0:28:30.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this quality of video game storytelling
Dialogue: 0,0:28:27.86,0:28:31.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as dispersed narrative where the
Dialogue: 0,0:28:30.02,0:28:33.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,narrative is just scattered around all
Dialogue: 0,0:28:31.76,0:28:35.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,over the place and you have to kind of

Dialogue: 0,0:28:35.39,0:28:43.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,together which I really like in games so
Dialogue: 0,0:28:40.25,0:28:45.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the final category is emergent narrative
Dialogue: 0,0:28:43.45,0:28:48.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so emergent narratives are not pretty
Dialogue: 0,0:28:45.80,0:28:49.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,structured or pre-programmed taking

Dialogue: 0,0:28:49.01,0:28:52.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,play yet they are not as unstructured

Dialogue: 0,0:28:52.81,0:28:58.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so they're kind of unpredictable within
Dialogue: 0,0:28:55.64,0:29:00.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,limits so there are those stories that
Dialogue: 0,0:28:58.61,0:29:02.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,occur through the partially
Dialogue: 0,0:29:00.62,0:29:04.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,unpredictable interaction of players and
Dialogue: 0,0:29:02.18,0:29:06.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,systems basically so the more systems a
Dialogue: 0,0:29:04.46,0:29:08.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,game has the more opportunities there
Dialogue: 0,0:29:06.05,0:29:10.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are for emergent storytelling yet these
Dialogue: 0,0:29:08.78,0:29:12.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,systems are designed to create certain
Dialogue: 0,0:29:10.67,0:29:14.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,types of gameplay just as architecture

Dialogue: 0,0:29:14.00,0:29:18.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,interactions so these are known as
Dialogue: 0,0:29:15.71,0:29:21.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,affordances and Jenkins uses the example
Dialogue: 0,0:29:18.74,0:29:23.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of urban design so urban designers exert
Dialogue: 0,0:29:21.50,0:29:25.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even less control than game designers
Dialogue: 0,0:29:23.39,0:29:26.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,over how people use the space as they

Dialogue: 0,0:32:03.34,0:32:07.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,simultaneously so this type of narrative

Dialogue: 0,0:32:09.82,0:32:14.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it's based on things outside of

Dialogue: 0,0:32:14.05,0:32:17.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,something to bear in mind if you're

Dialogue: 0,0:32:41.32,0:32:46.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,models presented by Henry Jenkins could
Dialogue: 0,0:32:43.48,0:32:47.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lead to more creative narratives so
Dialogue: 0,0:32:46.30,0:32:49.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,jenkins says such a mixture of in
Dialogue: 0,0:32:47.89,0:32:51.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,accident and embedded narrative elements
Dialogue: 0,0:32:49.96,0:32:53.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can allow for balance between the
Dialogue: 0,0:32:51.70,0:32:56.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,flexibility of interactivity and the
Dialogue: 0,0:32:53.86,0:32:58.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,coherence of pre authored narrative so
Dialogue: 0,0:32:56.44,0:33:03.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thus bringing together narratology and
Dialogue: 0,0:32:58.69,0:33:03.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lewd ology and there's an academic
Dialogue: 0,0:33:03.46,0:33:07.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's pretty much here there's some
Dialogue: 0,0:33:05.02,0:33:10.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,work cited there's a little bit about me

Dialogue: 0,0:33:52.44,0:33:55.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,yeah
Dialogue: 0,0:34:03.75,0:34:24.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,yeah yeah okay just to reiterate for the
Dialogue: 0,0:34:21.46,0:34:26.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,video in case that wasn't picked up how
Dialogue: 0,0:34:24.10,0:34:29.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how specific can you go with micro
Dialogue: 0,0:34:26.74,0:34:32.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,narratives is a little kind of tableau
Dialogue: 0,0:34:29.02,0:34:35.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in a corner of a room a micro narrative
Dialogue: 0,0:34:32.80,0:34:38.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and is any action a player takes through
Dialogue: 0,0:34:35.74,0:34:40.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,space in a sequence a micro narrative it
Dialogue: 0,0:34:38.83,0:34:42.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,could be like Jenkins gives the example
Dialogue: 0,0:34:40.54,0:34:44.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of like playing a football game and
Dialogue: 0,0:34:42.55,0:34:45.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,giving a getting a touchdown as being a
Dialogue: 0,0:34:44.41,0:34:47.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,micro narrative because it's something
Dialogue: 0,0:34:45.76,0:34:49.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you can lift out of context and you
Dialogue: 0,0:34:47.80,0:34:53.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,know have it as a self-contained little
Dialogue: 0,0:34:49.63,0:34:54.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thing and I think totally those little
Dialogue: 0,0:34:53.20,0:34:57.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bits of environmental storytelling where
Dialogue: 0,0:34:54.97,0:35:00.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you get a little tableau almost or still
Dialogue: 0,0:34:57.64,0:35:03.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like you said a still-life can totally
Dialogue: 0,0:35:00.88,0:35:05.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,be like a micro narrative so I don't
Dialogue: 0,0:35:03.70,0:35:07.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,think there's any hard and fast rule to
Dialogue: 0,0:35:05.23,0:35:09.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it I just think it's a really
Dialogue: 0,0:35:07.87,0:35:14.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,interesting way to frame those kind of
Dialogue: 0,0:35:09.73,0:35:17.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,things but yeah I mean the problem with
Dialogue: 0,0:35:14.20,0:35:18.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these kind of taxonomy is right is they
Dialogue: 0,0:35:17.11,0:35:19.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,create divisions between things whereas
Dialogue: 0,0:35:18.76,0:35:21.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actually I think there's quite a lot of
Dialogue: 0,0:35:19.75,0:35:23.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,overlap between these four categories
Dialogue: 0,0:35:21.48,0:35:26.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,obviously I can't go into that because
Dialogue: 0,0:35:23.50,0:35:27.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,20 minutes is enough to just think of a
Dialogue: 0,0:35:26.53,0:35:30.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,taste of always talking about rather
Dialogue: 0,0:35:27.88,0:35:35.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than actually you know explore how
Dialogue: 0,0:35:30.91,0:35:38.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they're interconnected as well any other
Dialogue: 0,0:35:35.74,0:35:38.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,questions
Dialogue: 0,0:35:41.14,0:35:44.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,yeah
Dialogue: 0,0:36:13.10,0:36:19.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,big influence
Dialogue: 0,0:36:16.74,0:36:24.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,okay cool so the question is like about
Dialogue: 0,0:36:19.66,0:36:26.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,kind of Lovecraft being used more and
Dialogue: 0,0:36:24.07,0:36:30.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more and what other kind of originators
Dialogue: 0,0:36:26.05,0:36:32.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of kind of genres and and tropes can be
Dialogue: 0,0:36:30.55,0:36:35.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,used or are being used I think it's
Dialogue: 0,0:36:32.38,0:36:39.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,interesting that blood that kind of love
Dialogue: 0,0:36:35.74,0:36:41.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,craft is such a popular thing for the
Dialogue: 0,0:36:39.58,0:36:43.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bass games on and things you can't
Dialogue: 0,0:36:41.11,0:36:44.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actually throw a rock I don't know why
Dialogue: 0,0:36:43.51,0:36:47.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'd be throwing rock we can't throw a
Dialogue: 0,0:36:44.80,0:36:48.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rock these days without hitting the
Dialogue: 0,0:36:47.05,0:36:51.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,board game with a Lovecraftian theme
Dialogue: 0,0:36:48.88,0:36:52.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,right and the main reason for that is it
Dialogue: 0,0:36:51.19,0:36:54.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cool but the secondary and
Dialogue: 0,0:36:52.75,0:36:57.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,closely-related reason to that is it's
Dialogue: 0,0:36:54.37,0:37:01.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,um isn't it's out of copyright so anyone
Dialogue: 0,0:36:57.55,0:37:03.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can just use it and so I think like the
Dialogue: 0,0:37:01.30,0:37:06.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more it's then used like the more people
Dialogue: 0,0:37:03.64,0:37:08.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,become familiar with it and the more it
Dialogue: 0,0:37:06.25,0:37:10.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,gets used but I think the interesting
Dialogue: 0,0:37:08.71,0:37:13.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thing with blood-borne is it doesn't
Dialogue: 0,0:37:10.27,0:37:16.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,explicitly use it it's all very subtle
Dialogue: 0,0:37:13.09,0:37:19.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is like Miyazaki's use of kind of
Dialogue: 0,0:37:16.87,0:37:21.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,western fantasy tropes in Dark Souls
Dialogue: 0,0:37:19.38,0:37:23.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they're there but they're kind of
Dialogue: 0,0:37:21.49,0:37:25.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,filtered through his kind of unique
Dialogue: 0,0:37:23.35,0:37:29.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sensibilities and his kind of cultural
Dialogue: 0,0:37:25.75,0:37:31.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,influences and he uses I can't remember
Dialogue: 0,0:37:29.47,0:37:33.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the terminology now but his specifically
Dialogue: 0,0:37:31.72,0:37:36.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,said that he uses a lot of Japanese
Dialogue: 0,0:37:33.87,0:37:39.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,philosophical concepts about
Dialogue: 0,0:37:36.70,0:37:41.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,impermanence which is really interesting
Dialogue: 0,0:37:39.61,0:37:43.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's really interesting to read
Dialogue: 0,0:37:41.19,0:37:44.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,interviews with him because he clearly
Dialogue: 0,0:37:43.06,0:37:47.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you know is very intelligent man and
Dialogue: 0,0:37:44.98,0:37:51.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,clip who knows what he's doing and I
Dialogue: 0,0:37:47.95,0:37:54.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,think in terms of other kind of
Dialogue: 0,0:37:51.18,0:37:57.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,originators of important myth AUSA's I
Dialogue: 0,0:37:54.67,0:37:59.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,guess Sherlock Holmes like you know I
Dialogue: 0,0:37:57.25,0:38:02.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,think Arthur Conan Doyle his his work
Dialogue: 0,0:37:59.74,0:38:03.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,gets used a lot and is being used more
Dialogue: 0,0:38:02.44,0:38:06.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and more in videogames I think is
Dialogue: 0,0:38:03.100,0:38:08.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,another interesting talk to be had about
Dialogue: 0,0:38:06.27,0:38:10.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I mentioned a little bit there
Dialogue: 0,0:38:08.26,0:38:13.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about kind of detective fiction and
Dialogue: 0,0:38:10.51,0:38:14.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,videogames because obviously detective
Dialogue: 0,0:38:13.12,0:38:16.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fiction is a really good example of how
Dialogue: 0,0:38:14.62,0:38:18.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,story and plot works but it's a little
Dialogue: 0,0:38:16.72,0:38:20.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bit harder to do in videogames and when
Dialogue: 0,0:38:18.34,0:38:25.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,videogames normally do detective stories
Dialogue: 0,0:38:20.32,0:38:27.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because they could be so procedural it
Dialogue: 0,0:38:25.12,0:38:29.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can easily get out of hand
Dialogue: 0,0:38:27.40,0:38:31.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,be difficult they normally kind of
Dialogue: 0,0:38:29.02,0:38:33.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,systemize that so you had something like
Dialogue: 0,0:38:31.15,0:38:35.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,murdered soul suspect where you weren't
Dialogue: 0,0:38:33.67,0:38:37.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really solving a mystery were just
Dialogue: 0,0:38:35.17,0:38:39.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,collecting little bits of things and
Dialogue: 0,0:38:37.03,0:38:42.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,putting them together and it's I'm yet
Dialogue: 0,0:38:39.85,0:38:44.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to see like a detective game done really
Dialogue: 0,0:38:42.97,0:38:47.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,well I think that gives that the player
Dialogue: 0,0:38:44.77,0:38:49.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the freedom to try and work it out
Dialogue: 0,0:38:47.05,0:38:50.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,itself but that's the other one I could
Dialogue: 0,0:38:49.24,0:38:52.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,think of is at the top of my head is
Dialogue: 0,0:38:50.74,0:39:06.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sherlock Holmes and do you have any in
