Interactive NarrativePart II

• Claudia Grant Idat 203

Recap

• Different uses of narrative
• How people like to be in charge
• Developing my idea from Idat 204
• Interactive Film, was a no no!

3
Moving on...

• Audio effect like Sugar Waters

4
Elephant

• College shooting
• Dark
• Make you experience the event
• Not Interactive

5
Mscape

• GPS and flash software
• Narrative follows the path you take
• Problems
• Not a writer
• Dont know any actors/actresses

6
Poems

• Express views
• Different Narratives
• Contrast love and hate

7
Found two Poems

• Sonnet - John Clare
• Patrolling Barnegat by Walt Whitman
• Both about Nature
• Different views of it

Poem one

• I love to see the summer beaming forth
• And white wool sack clouds sailing to the north
• I love to see the wild flowers come again
• And mare blobs stain with gold the meadow drain
• And water lillies whiten on the floods
• Where reed clumps rustle like a wind shook wood
• Where from her hiding place the Moor Hen pushes
• And seeks her flag nest floating in bull rushes
• I like the willow leaning half way o'er
• The clear deep lake to stand upon its shore
• I love the hay grass when the flower head swings
• To summer winds and insects happy wings
• That sport about the meadow the bright day
• And see bright beetles in the clear lake play

Poem two

• Wild, wild the storm, and the sea high running
• Steady the roar of the gale, with incessant
  undertone muttering,
• Shouts of demoniac laughter fitfully piercing and
  pealing,
• Waves, air, midnight, their savagest trinity
  lashing,
• Out in the shadows there milk-white combs
  careering,
• On beachy slush and sand spirts of snow fierce
  slanting,
• Where through the murk the easterly death-wind
  breasting,
• Through cutting swirl and spray watchful and firm
  advancing,
• (That in the distance! is that a wreck? is the
  red signal flaring?)
• Slush and sand of the beach tireless till
  daylight wending,
• Steadily, slowly, through hoarse roar never
  remitting,
• Along the midnight edge by those milk-white combs
  careering,
• A group of dim, weird forms, struggling, the
  night confronting,
• That savage trinity warily watching.

New idea

• Record two poems
• Express their emotion
• Stereo across headphones
• Give different narratives
• User decides which one to follow
