presentation
posted on 2019-07-15, 12:05 authored by Mike ArmstrongObject-Based Media (OBM) offers opportunities to build new forms of media which provide personalisation and choice for the audience. This new form of media is disruptive to the craft skills of storytelling and new forms of native OBM storytelling have yet to be developed.
This presentation will examine the issue of the changed role of the audience (and thus the storyteller) caused by the introduction of audience interaction and agency.
Comparing the story structures used in linear media to those used in computer games the presentation will demonstrate the failings of branching narrative and show how, by framing an active for the audience, new media forms could be designed with significant advantages over fixed, linear content.
