Notes from the First Contextual Studies
Session…
Our project for this term is to look into the relationships of
different cultures within games and how they have progressed, evolved and see
where they have come from. Here are some rough notes I took from the first CS
session we had which just briefly went over the brief. Then I will post the
notes that I took following on from our lecture on “cuteness”.
• Focus on
relationships between east and west popular culture, do they cross over? Do
they relate to each other & why?
• Look at cultural
differences and similarities between east & west.
• Where does “stuff”
come from?
• Why does it exist?
• Cultural and
historical backgrounds.
Kawaii (cute) Lecture
We were given a lecture on the 15th of March on the
subject of kawaii which literally
translates as “cute”.
•Chinana = kawaii/cute.
• Betty Bop is kawaii, seen in Japan in
the 1930’s.
• Raymond Peynets “Dream of Romance”
is very kawaii (young lovers in paris)
• Rune Naito
• The keane effect.
• The magic of Marcato, 1954 (the eye) main
theme is always love, warmth and pretty.
• Licca Chan.

On creating a character:
• Appearance,
culture/nationality/religion/style/class/wealth/occupation, physical
features/age/body type.
• Voice, tone, pitch,
volume, speed, level of articulation.
