Exploring different ways of creating a narrative using a digital approach.
My research will be an exploration into different ways of creating a narrative, digitally. This can be through the use of many different digitals programs. My main goal is to produce a digitally interactive comic using Flash. This comic can be structured as a non-linear narrative, so in essence it shall be a hyper-comic. As Daniel Merlin Goodbrey said “Infinitive canvas equals limitless space,”

After my series of experiments for stop motion I've come to want to do an interactive comic, I've researched into current interactive comic projects and their is a wide bredth of them, they're appearing up and are popular.

This animated/click through comic is rather entertaining! It's style uses pixels to its advantage, it isn't one that you'd judge on its style, its up to your own interpretations as to how you view the comic. It uses the basic of tools that you'd find on your system, microsoft paint and uses it to illustrate a story. Certain areas are animated and others are just still. It uses a various different animation techniques.

This comic is about a boy named John, who is homestuck. He mainly looks around the house for interesting objects. I haven't gotten too far into the story yet but from my view of it, it is drawing.

This is an example of what I meant. When the user rolls over the image it pops up an image to the right of the screen.

 Here it shows how the reader moves from one page to another whilst exploring what else is on the page, for example the 'pester log' as the author named it. Giving you more insight into what John does whilst he is at home.

I think this comic is well crafted and reaches it audience rather well. I may use some of these techniques when creating my own short comic.
