What can Korsakow do? That is how Adrian wants us to think. What can we use it for? He says we are thinking about it wrong and that we shouldn’t think of it as how do we tell this story with this program. He used a hammer and nail metaphor.

The difference between Korsakow films and normal films is that the Korsakow films are not linear. They can still tell a story/narrative, however they tell them in different parts, different time lines and so on. This really inspired me.

It reminded me of 500 Days of Summer, a film that plays with time and we see different parts of a relationship in a non-chronological order. Something similar to that would make an excellent Korsakow film.

Something as simple as a character study would make a good Korsakow film, you can show different parts of their life, but it won’t necessarily tell the audience what to think. The audience can make their own assumptions based on which clips they see in the film. They can decide when they have seen enough clips, and choose to come back to the film and re-watch it depending on their engagement with the film.

Closure is not invested in the media object in a Korsakow film, it’s invested in the audience. They stop watching when they’ve had enough.

Overall,this lecture has been my favourite so far as I feel pretty inspired and motivated to create a cool interactive story through Korsakow. I love scriptwriting and the sentence that gripped me the most in the lecture was when Adrian said it’s not about having a kick ass story idea, it’s how you tell the story that matters. All the other lecturers nodded in unison.
