Cut Scene Cameras

We also discussed cut scene cameras.  Cut scene camera is used obviously for whenever the player encounters a cut scene in the game.  Whenever the player enters a cut scene the player will often have no control over the games character and the will often have no control over the series of events that will take place within the cut scene.  However, it is also often that the player will still have some control over the games character and the events that will take place within the cut scene thought interactions with the player, one example would be quick time events.  Quick time events are now used very frequently in modern day video games like the Far Cry series or God of War series, during quick time events the player will be given an often short amount of time to press a certain button, if the player hits the correct button within the time given the will usually advance in the game by doing something like overcoming an obstacle, dodging an attack or damage and/or kill an enemy or boss.  However, if the player does not press the button within the time given they will be punished often by either taking damage or dying.  Cut scenes will also give players the options of choosing certain paths, it can give the player the option to side with a certain character or it can give the player the option of either killing a character or allowing them to live.
