Influence of writing on Video Game and Movie scripts


Writing had its start in books, poems, manuscripts, and other important documents. In time, computers showed up changing job responsibilities to visual form.  This technology brought about movies and video games which are in essence more elaborate plays. Writing has influenced elaborate script writing for movies and games. Script writing in turn tells the story for that game or movie.

Scripts for movies and games help to direct writing to visual form for an audience. Books and comics help influence a script that is being turned into movies such as chronicles of naria, batman, and superman.  It is common for major dialog, actions, and twists in the story for a movie to be taken from the original literature with the permission of the author.  Games have a special interactive storyboard script and involve deep visual storytelling, visual storyboards, and written scripts. Examples of game story telling include: choosing your path of action and dialogue in games such as mass effect, massive open  game worlds with hidden secrets and decisive action like in halo,  and  usage of real life scenarios in call of duty: modern warfare series spec ops missions. Scripts help explain reasoning behind a game or movies actions done a certain way.
Without script writing how could we have movies? We could not.
