Remediation is the transfer of tropes/concepts from one medium to another. Our lecturer Rob showed us the movie Run Lola Run as a example of the concept of remediation.
Run Lola Run contained many possible examples of remediation. One of the most significant examples is the idea of a time pressure. In Run Lola Run Lola has 30 minutes to make 50,000 marks or her boyfriend would commit a crime. This kind of time pressure is fairly common in games.
Run Lola run also included the idea of retrying after having failed a task. This is something that gamers do all the time. Pretty much all gamers have had the experience of retrying a single task dozens of times to try and move on in the game.
