Student: Romanova Vitaliia

Educational Programme: Media Communications (Bachelor)

Final Grade: 8

Year of Graduation: 2021

My task is to study the basic structure of storytelling, create an understanding of all the elements of the hero arc, fix the principles of creating live dialogues, find and use more recent sources, including those specializing in scripts for games, and together with my colleagues create a script, exercising control over this part of the implementation project.
