Interactive film and cinema

What do you understand by the above title?

Interactive film is the video game which is between audience and viewing. Interactive film need audience to control the plot or characters. It is like a video game. Interactive film emphasis the plot of the story, through the full- motion video. Audience can choose the options and follow their point of view to story development.

What is the new experience that is available to the audience?

As a participants, audience take part in the film and to control the film that is a brand new experience. They could be wave their hand or put hands up and so on. In the past, the audience just a viewer or onlooker, audience could not involve to the movie. Sometimes, audience hope the story follow their own opinion to develop, so interactive film can satisfy their needs.

What example of practice can you find of the above?

This is example of practice that needs audience to decide continuous plot. 

What can we expect in future?

People can watch interactive film in the home. A same interactive film, different audience can get different story and ending. They can discuss their own ending and how to made it. I think that will be a interesting experience in the future. 

Do you think, from your research, it will become important or stay a 'niche' experience? 

I hope interactive will develop more popular. In my opinion, some of people hope to have a relax mood in the cinema. They do not want to decide something or wave their hands. Just keep quiet follow the storyline, finish the movie.  In addition, many classical movies have splendid storyline, if the storyline is depended by audience, it will not a good story. Thus, I think interactive film will become a minority experience.
