| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | This brief video illustrates the fixed camera angle system used in the 1992 video game Alone in the Dark. Although this system was necessitated largely by the technical limitations at the time, the game's designers managed to use it to their advantage by dramatically framing scenes, resulting in sequences that recall the aesthetics of horror film camera work. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
The software from which the screenshot is taken is copyrighted and is not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible. |
| Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1) |
The fixed camera angle system is fundamentally built on static camera shots that shift as the player moves around a game's digital environment. To fully explicate this visual approach, footage from the game illustrating character movement accompanied by a perspective shift is necessary. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | The footage is not unnecessarily high-resolution, and game footage (i.e., multiple frames) is needed to show how the fixed camera angle system works as the player moves about their digital environment. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
The use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site. |
| Other information | The game can be freely streamed via The Internet Archive.[1] |
