Abstract

The creation of a specific vocabulary for video games and game design analysis poses a challenge shared by the analysis of the correlation between image and music in them. Concepts from filmmaking, graphic design and other media alone would be insufficient; the interactivity and non linear nature of the video game medium are both their main methodologic issue and distinctive characteristics. In this article we'll try to link music, image and their means of communication between them and with the player, from the gameplay and playability perspective.
