The Aesthetics of Narrative Elements in Interactive Films

Films are generally more attractive than other forms of TV shows. Such attractiveness can be enhanced through steerable plots where audiences act not merely as passive spectators, rather as active participants. The production of an interactive film requires a narrative structure based on which, a plot can be written and expanded. This paper attempts to investigate and propose a new engaging narrative structural model that can be used in TV shows. Moreover, the new model can bring about costeffectiveness for producers and filmmakers, while enabling the audience to actively create a narrative, switching from one narrative line to another. A successful medium outlet in this competitive arena tends to attract a wider range of audience, leaving a far greater impact on them. This is in contrast to ordinary films entailing only one theme and effect. Dubbed as interactive narrative, the newly proposed model can both influence every narrative line and the viewer, which was called a hyper-structure impact in this paper. The final section will explore the experience of producing an interactive short film based on the newly pro-posed model .
