Interactive Narrative Influences

The main influences for my interactive piece were the sites I looked at and analysed in and out of the seminars

• Picanto - http://www.kia-picanto.com/ (when you follow the hyperlink on the first page choose the international site)
• Friends - http://www.friendsontv.co.uk/
• Atonement - http://www.atonementthemovie.co.uk/site/site.html
• Gorillaz - http://www.gorillaz.com/Scene.php
• Magnolia - http://www.magnoliathemovie.com/#
• Miranda July - http://mirandajuly.com/
• Constellations - http://lab.constellations.co.nz/
• Pulled hair - http://pulledhair.com/

I looked at the key elements that all used and included them within my narrative. The recurring key elements I found were:

• Rollover buttons
• Audio clips on rollovers
• A picture change to highlight the rollover
• Pictures
• Movie clips
• Animations
• Navigational buttons

And the key point was giving the user choice and allowing them to make there way through in there own way and feel they are in control.
