VİDEO OYUNLARINDAN UYARLANAN FİLMLERİN BAŞARI VE BAŞARISIZLIK ANALİZİ

Year 2021, Volume: 11 Issue: 2, 635 - 658, 01.04.2021

Abstract

Video oyunları ve sinema sektörünün kesişim noktalarından biri uyarlama konusudur. Filmlerden video oyunlarına veya video oyunlarından filmlere uyarlanan birçok yapım vardır. Bu çalışmada ise video oyunlarından uyarlanan filmlerin seyirci tarafındaki karşılığının tanımlanması hedeflenmiştir. Seyirci ve oyuncu, uyarlanan bu yapımların parçalarından biridir, onların konumu bu yapımların geleceğini şekillendirmesinde rol oynamaktadır, bu bağlamda bu çalışmada elde edilen sonuçlar bu yapımların potansiyelinin de ifade edilmesini sağlaması açısından değerlidir.
Bu çalışmada objektif sonuçlara ulaşabilmek için iki farklı yöntem kullanılmıştır; sinema sektöründeki profesyoneller ve sinema eğitimi görmüş toplam da 11 kişiyle çevrimiçi anket, www.imdb.com ve www.metascore.com adlı film kritik sitelerinde verilen puanlar ve kayıtlı kullanıcıların yazdıkları yorumlardan toplanan verilerin analizi. Seyircilerden elde edilen bu yorumların analiziyle seyircilerin odaklandıkları noktalar tespit edilmiştir, çevrimiçi anket yöntemiyle de sinema eğitimi almış veya sinema sektörü içinde profesyonel olan kişilerin verdikleri cevaplarla da konu hakkında hem ön görü hem de içinde bulunan durum hakkında bilgi sağlanmıştır. Bu yöntemler kendi içlerinde, sonuç kısmında ise iki yöntemin sonuçları birleştirilerek analiz edilmiştir.
Sonuç olarak ise seyircinin bu filmleri oyundan ayırmadan değerlendirdiği ve bu iş birliğinin gelişerek devam etmesini arzuladıkları yönündedir. Başarısız bulunan film örneklerinin video oyunlar hakkında belirleyici olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Seyircinin, bu türün gelişeceğini daha başarılı sonuçların elde edileceğini düşünmesine rağmen oyun içindeki aktif olma duygusunun film içinde pasif olma duygusuna daha baskın bir şekilde yaşandığı anlaşılmıştır. Seyircinin filmlerle kurduğu ilişkinin video oyun merkezli olduğu, oyunda hissettiği duyguları ve oyunla ilgili detayları filmin iç yapısında da aradığı görülmüştür.

SUCCESS AND FAILURE ANALYSIS OF FILMS ADAPTED FROM VIDEO GAMES

Year 2021, Volume: 11 Issue: 2, 635 - 658, 01.04.2021

Abstract

One of the intersections of the video games and cinema industry is the subject of adaptation. There are many productions adapted from movies to video games or from video games to movies. In this study, it is aimed to define the response of the films adapted from video games on the audience side. The audience and the actor are part of these adapted productions, their location plays a role in shaping the future of these productions, in this context the results obtained in this study are valuable in terms of expressing the potential of these productions.
In this study, two different methods were used to achieve objective results; Online survey with 11 professionals in the cinema industry and cinema education, an analysis of the data collected from the criticism sites on www.imdb.com and www.metascore.com, and the comments of registered users. With the analysis of these comments obtained from the audience, the focus of the audience has been determined, and with the answers given by the people who have received cinema education or professionals who are professional in the cinema sector, information has been provided on both the foresight and the situation in it. These methods are analyzed within themselves and in the conclusion part, the results of the two methods are combined.
As a result, it is that the audience evaluates these films without separating them from the game and they wish that this cooperation will continue to develop and continue. It has been determined that failed film samples are not decisive for video games. Although the audience thinks that this genre will develop, more successful results will be achieved, it has been understood that the feeling of being active in the game is more dominant to the feeling of being passive in the movie. It was seen that the relationship of the audience with the films was video game centered, and the emotions he felt in the game and the details of the game were also looked for in the inner structure of the film.
