Grade: 82%

Topic Selection: Having immersed myself into the subject area of ‘architecture and narrative’, specifically exploring how architecture is used within digital media, I have come to appreciate how architecture goes beyond just being seen as a backdrop in fictional TV shows and films. Instead, architecture emerges as an element with the ability to aid and complement narratives. Honegger (2004) and various other authors explored this concept in my dissertation, articulating that architecture possesses the potential to actively enhance and enrich the complexities of specific plots and scenes within visual storytelling. This inspired me to explore the role of architecture in complementing the complex, dark fantasy narrative of Game of Thrones.
