Remediation

Remediation:

Is when one type of media is represented in another type of media. eg. Tron.

Immediacy:
- Media that inspires towards transparency
- Trying to draw the viewer into the movie.
- Creating a immersive stage, graphically high quality
- As realistic as possible

Hypermediacy:
- Artefacts that are aware of and wish to show their own constructed nature.
- Computer game interfaces/huds for example
- World Wide Web

'Photorealism' is an example of 'immediacy'. It's not the medium of photography. Hypermediacy isnt the aesthetic preserve of the www, its tendancies have been picked up by news reels.

Overall, i think that the gaming and film industry have alot to learn from each other still about storytelling and interactivity.
