Research

I've found a really good example of Interactive Movie.



SUFFERROSA, a new neo-noir interactive movie made by Polish director Dawid Marcinkowski.

More info:
www.sufferrosa.com

From my point of view is a really extraordinary piece of work. It's beautifully shot, simply designed and cleverly written. It's non-commercial experiment, but rather the way showing the absence of existing commercial distribution platform for interactive film makers.



The Story

You are the user, who experiences the story of Detective Ivan Johnson, he searches for a missing woman. Your investigation leads you to the clinic on Miranda Island. After a few days, you wake up in a cell. From there your journey begins. It is up to you how you going to finish the story.


The aim of this video is to find Rosa von Braun or just get out from the clinic.


From the interactivity...

This part might be the most useful for my project. The movie consists 110 scenes, using 20 different locations and 25 actors. There are 3 different endings, the scenes change every time they are viewed. It is a really interactive experience, where the user affect the outcome.


Navigation

To move in the video, user watch the scenes and then look for directions, left or right. There are also additional info boxes about characters and stories.


This example gave me some ideas about my story. I could change the end of the plot and think about different choices to make.
