Abstract:
The study presents a prototype of the educational artistic virtual game CineGame Ukraine, designed to improve skills in film narration and storyboarding. The project aims to adapt a digital learning environment as a methodological model to deepen filmmakers’ visual cinematic thinking. The target audience for the project includes film and audiovisual students. The educational game will be used as a representation of the creative process for creating a cinematic narrative. However, the prototype is constructed as an open matrix for other content, as well. It is being used as a medium to teach trends of aesthetics today (glitch, noise, and others). The aim of the project is to develop digitization of cultural education and support serious art gaming based on research of contemporary culture. The empirical testing of the project is still ongoing and will be implemented following the studies of visitors’ experience in contemporary art museums that underline communication between the users.
