Abstract

Interactive cinema is a form of multimedia which employs real-time audience input and feedback to alter the playout of a story. In non-linear cinema, the basic cinematic elements of shot, sound, setting, sequence, character, and action are presented in some sequence dictated by a machine algorithm with little or no influence from the author. With the advent of the World Wide Web, virtually all forms of multimedia have become accessible from any machine with an appropriate network connection and Web browser. This paper is concerned with the design and implementation of a Java applet used to annotate a collection of movie clips in constructing a non-linear movie on the Web.
