The thesis explores the implementation possibilities of an interactive documentary video.
In the first part we define the concept of interactive video and nonlinear storytelling. Different navigational structures, types of navigation, interaction and web-based implementation methods are presented. This is followed by the comparison of an interactive video with conventional video and a review of interfaces for controlling video content, with an emphasis on the user experience. The usefulness of interactive video in the fields of education, advertising, films and documentaries is indicated. In the second part we present the production provess of producing an interactive documentary film, from planning and preparation of video material, to adding the interactivity using web technologies.
