Depth of field and focal point guide attention - Preserve a result preview and distinguish the original capture from later editing. - [Car Mechanic Simulator 2021](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1190000/) ## How it works Performance creation combines staging, recording and editing to control shot order, duration and the audience's attention. ## Variants ### Mechanic variants - Staging positions actors and objects. - Cameras choose viewpoints on available events. - Editing joins recorded fragments over time. - Soundtracks change a scene's rhythm and meaning. ## Design example A player records a character crossing from two angles and edits it with an observer's reaction. Prototype check: Test source-recording preservation during edits and playback after scene objects have changed. ## Context and limits Creative mechanics constrain shape, connections and appearance while preserving the player’s choice of a personal result. Each overview separates player actions, state changes and alternative rules. Examples are hypothetical design scenarios, not claims about a named game. A prototype check states an observable question for the next iteration. Existing detailed references remain separately linked from the direction map. ## Connected materials - Sources in the selection: [Godot: physics introduction](https://gamemechanics.pro/en/resources/#resource-godot-physics) (key: resource/godot-physics) ## Sources and provenance Original bilingual editorial overviews authored for gamemechanics.pro on 2026-10-20 and reviewed on 2026-10-21.
