Description
Interactive storytelling has been incorporated into our culture in different ways. There are many interactive shows, interactive amusement park attractions, and of course, interactive films. Most interactive films in existence happen to be short films. On top of that, most of these interactive short films are meant to be viewed by one individual who makes all of the choices rather than in a group setting. I am proposing to further investigate how interactive storytelling has been incorporated into media and distributed in an attempt to determine if it is feasible to create a steady flow of interactive feature films that are meant to be shown in a movie theater setting. I will specifically take a look at trends in the ways that movie theaters have expanded over time, potential audience and theater interest levels in the concept of interactive features, the feasibility of creating interactive films, and the ideal layout to create them. My findings will be written up in paper form and will hopefully allow my audience to understand a direction that the entertainment industry may be heading.
