Currently, digital technology has witnessed rapid development and has gradually replaced traditional film reels. Its progress plays an extremely important facilitating role in the development and innovation of film art, but it also brings many challenges. Against the backdrop of the digital age, film is no longer a purely visual art expression but has gradually evolved into a composite art form that integrates multiple media and forms. Based on this, this paper analyzes the significance of the narrative techniques of video games in promoting film innovation, expounds on the influence of video game development on the shaping of film characters, and introduces the narrative innovation of films in the context of the digital age as well as the future trends of the integration of films and video games. The aim is to further promote the integration of films and video games and the innovative development of film narrative.
