Abstract: The subject of this research is animation technologies in modern visual culture, their role and importance in web design and development trends. The purpose of the study is to determine the role of animation in modern visual culture, in general, and in web design, in particular. The main tasks include, firstly, the analysis of trends in the development of the sphere of animation used in web design; secondly, the identification of key characteristics of web animation and the classification of the main animation forms; thirdly, the analysis of the technological aspect of the development of web animation with specific examples of tools that implement this or that a different technology. In the course of the study, both general logical research methods (analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction, generalization) and methods of systematization of scientific knowledge – typologization and classification were used. The novelty of the research lies in rethinking the importance of animation technologies in modern visual culture. As a result of the research, the specific features of web animation, its role in modern web design, the main areas of application, forms, methods and techniques were highlighted. The technological aspect of web animation creation was also analyzed, the classification of modern web technologies that allow solving various tasks facing web animation was presented.

Abstract: Based on the ambiguity of the idea of the object of study complexity - videogames, the need to analyze them through the prism of several approaches, the subject of the study was an attempt to create a relatively universal narrative-psychological concept, which we called the "White Room". The universality of this concept lies in its applicability to various game contexts, however, this universality does not entail stereotypes, but implies the need to take into account three components when designing this concept in a game scenario: space, consciousness and simulacra. Space is where the game action takes place, consciousness is the game experience, the perception of the game process, simulacra - everything that fills the game world (objects, players, etc.), depending on the context, determines the interpretation of game events. Scientific novelty lies in the creation of a new narrative-psychological concept, which is based on the ideas of related disciplines and can be used for a wide range of tasks when creating a narrative video game design. The specificity of the concept of the White Room lies in the compositionally correct design of the space and the regulation of the game experience, its imposition on incoherent game scenes, the choice of the right simulacra, which are determined by the game context. The white room can act as the starting setting of the world, the setting, the creation of the world, the place of "psychological relief", self-digging, memories of the past to understand yourself today, the climactic scene, the whole game can also take place in it.

Abstract: The object of the study was video games related to the so-called action genre. The disparate classifications of video games that currently exist in the scientific and user environment indicate that there is a problem of creating their typology, key characteristics and specific features that allow dividing genres among themselves have not yet been identified. The purpose of the article is to identify specific features of the action genre in modern video games. The main research methods are comparative and structural-functional, which allow to objectively show the essential characteristics of the genre under consideration. The results of the study show that the genre has not yet been considered comprehensively for the search for generalized features, which were partially mentioned in the studies of T. H. Kutlaliev, N. Y. Kazakova, N. A. Moshkova, I. I. Yugai, T. Epperly, etc. Personal contribution is seen in the fact that the authors purposefully search for genre-specific features, which will further contribute to the development of the genre typology of video games. It is established that the key features of the action genre are: activity that requires good coordination of movements from the player; dynamics that involves saturation with actions; conflict, as an obligatory component of the game; character – the presence of a hero, the action is carried out through a specific character. An important result of the study was that specific signs of action can be found in other genre varieties. The concept of "action" in them becomes an additional element that gives any game dynamics, activity, conflict.

Abstract: The object of research is the transformation of the social representations of the subject in the digital communication environment, the transformation of social representations in economic digital ecosystems is highlighted as the subject. The relevance of the topic is due to the growing convergence of digital, cognitive and social technologies in the emerging digital society, and, as a consequence, the inclusion of information and digital technologies in the system of social interactions. The study is aimed at identifying the ways and mechanisms of influence of economic digital ecosystems on the social perceptions and values of the subject. Accordingly, the article examines the features and goals of economic digital ecosystems emerging in the process of development of the digital economy. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the features of digital communication in economic ecosystems, which create new opportunities and ways of influencing ecosystems on the formation and dissemination of social ideas. The methodological basis of the study is made up of structural-functional and systemic-communicative approaches to the study of the processes of transformation of social ideas and values of the subject. The main conclusion of the study is the following: in the information society, the influence of digital economic ecosystems, aimed at constructing the digital environment of society, on the formation and transmission of social ideas, is increasing. The growth in influence is largely due to the high adaptability of ecosystems to the individuality of the consumer and the digital capabilities of personalizing consumption. The novelty lies in the introduction of the concept of “collective digital transpersonal community,” which characterizes the features of the method of forming social ideas and values in the digital environment.

Abstract: The subject of the research is acting techniques used in visual solutions of a documentary film made by using 3D technologies. The author analyzes documentary films that have been launched by the Russian film lending service using 3D technologies and defines peculiarities of using 3D in documentary films. 3D technologies were tested in Russian documentary film lending service as a type of films with a high level of financial risk. The author of the article also defines and classifies techniques and methods used by film directors when creating a composition and image in documentary films using 3D technologies. In this research Trusevich has used the comparative method and systems approach. The author has calculated the number of documentary 3D films that have been launched by the Russian film lending service since 2009 till 2015. The scientific novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the author analyzes creative opportunities of 3D technologies, in particular, director's work on the image composition and using details. The author of the article also analyzes Sergei Eisenstein's thesis about the 'soaring effect' in the image composition and applies this term to the mise en scene of a 3D image.
