Abstract :This article expands the theoretical framework for film music analysis by examining the similarities and differences between film and video games through the lenses of ludomusicology, diegesis, and Flow theory. By analyzing the short animated film Calculated Movements and the video game Space Invaders through narrative (diegesis) and ludomusical principles, the study investigates the role of sound and music in both interactive and non-interactive media forms. The research also applies Flow theory to the film Factual Conversation, exploring elements of game satisfaction and revealing how interaction and ludomusical components shape the user experience. Ultimately, the article contributes new insights into the relationship between audiovisual media and ludomusicology, enhancing the understanding of how sound and music reinforce immersion and narrative in both media types.
