Abstract

This paper compares and contrasts movies, television, and video games from the perspective of the writer. This is done in order to determine which is the superior story telling medium. It is accomplished by examining how each is written, who else holds influence over the story, and the regulatory bodies involved. The relationships between the three media are discussed and then illustrated in order to demonstrate these relationships and the theories discussed in this paper.
