Abstract

In this paper we explore the relationship between interactivity and narrativity in the context of screen-media, where by screen media we mean mainly time-based audio-visual material. Despite a few successful productions, interactive time-based screen media has not yet become an established storytelling medium and the opportunities it presents to media consumption are yet to be explored. Here, we discuss possible forms of interaction made possible by a genre independent paradigm for developing interactive narratives, called ShapeShifting Screen Media. For validation, we present two ShapeShifting screen media productions.
