UXG 4642: Interactive Storytelling

Credits 5
In this module, students learn to design stories with symbolic language. Exercises help students apply and understand character design and development, archetypes, conflict, plot patterns, back-story, dialogue, exposition, premise, and the psychological dynamics of human choice. Students also learn how to manipulate symbols in images by drawing from a variety of theoretical models, such as Carl Jung'92s dream analysis, personality profiling per Myers-Briggs, Gestalt psychology, and narrative architecture.
