Abstract
In this thesis, we tried to analyze and theoretically read spatiality and the elements of space in chosen Silent Hill video games. Also, we tried to analyze similarities between Silent Hill and chosen texts of H. P. Lovecraft. The elements analyzed primarily refer to those elements which set the mood, atmosphere and affect player's and reader's perception and experience. The analysis confirmed the similarities between the two subjects and the fear of the unknown showed to be the element that is highly present in both, evoking different emotions on the behalf of the audience such as fear, dread and constant tension. The aim of this thesis was to implicate different different spatial paradigms on video games primarily based on the experience of playing Silent Hill and reading H. P. Lovecraft's texts. The analysis was conducted through the methodological approach known as the content analysis for more precise understanding of the theory and its' immplication.
Abstract (croatian)
U ovom radu nastojalo se analizirati i teorijski iščitati prostor i elemente u odabranim Silent Hill video igrama. Također se nastojalo povezati sličnosti između elemeata prikazanih u Silent Hill igrama sa odabranim tekstovima H. P. Lovecraft-a. Prventsveno se to odnosi na elemente koje određuju i utječu na čitaoca odnosno igrača, poput atmosfere, zvuka i narativa a analiza je pokazala kako zajednički elementi između dvoje subjekata zapravo postoje. Strah od nepoznatog pokazao se kao najvažniji element koji u publici izaziva razne osjećaje poput straha, napetosti i neizvjesnosti. Cilj ovog rada je pokušati primijeniti različite prostorne paradigme na video igre temeljeno prvenstveno na iskustvu igranja Silent Hill-a i iščitavanja tekstova H. P. Lovecraft-a. Analiza je provedena metodološkim pristupom analize sadržaja koja pridonosi razumijevanju teorijskih dijelova rada i primjeni istih.
