Represenation


In the above, is a simulated RE Presentation of reality due to the references of Grand Central Station in New York. This particular shot reinforces the fact of a simulated reality, blurring the barriers between reality and the hyper real world of a video game as the game characters have constructed their own reality, similar to the reality the gamers live in. This shot presents a notion of reality within a unrealistic world.



It is interesting how Felix represents a contrast in his image compared to the gamers, which would be expected as he is seen from another reality to the humans. However, as Felix point out in the above scene to the Sergeant her 'HD look' is very much the same as the human gamers. This represents the sense of postmodernism of a loss sense of reality as due to the Sergeant being of the same image as the games, this allows for the gamers to be put in more of a immersion state. Their reality is blurred due to their avatars realistic, similar image unlike the characters in Fix It Felix and Sugar Rush.
