Abstract:
Films are generally more attractive than other forms of TV shows. Such
attractiveness can be enhanced through steerable plots where audiences act
not merely as passive spectators, rather as active participants. The
production of an interactive film requires a narrative structure based on
which, a plot can be written and expanded. This paper attempts to
investigate and propose a new engaging narrative structural model that can
be used in TV shows. Moreover, the new model can bring about costeffectiveness
for producers and filmmakers, while enabling the audience to
actively create a narrative, switching from one narrative line to another. A
successful medium outlet in this competitive arena tends to attract a wider
range of audience, leaving a far greater impact on them. This is in contrast
to ordinary films entailing only one theme and effect. Dubbed as interactive
narrative, the newly proposed model can both influence every narrative line
and the viewer, which was called a hyper-structure impact in this paper. The
final section will explore the experience of producing an interactive short
film based on the newly pro-posed model .

Characteristics of Sequences: ─ The interactor does not demand intervention and will not be allowed to intervene (in terms of narrative, it arises from the expectation hypothesis leading or referring to the dramatic sensitive points) (Ben-Shaul, 2008; Bordwell, 2002).
4. Newly Proposed Structure: Interactive Film with an Interactive Narrative In the "Garden of Forking Paths", Jorge Luis Borges (Chatman, 1980)stated that in all stories, when a person faces several choices, one has to be chosen at the expense of others.
Effort was made to eliminate the drawbacks of the previous structure and provide a rather interactive version dubbed "Int" The new model entails a parallel structure due to limitation of narrative threads inspired by the theory of parallel universes.
2. An interactive film produced through the newly proposed model can leave the greatest impact on the audience.
The main object was to propose a new model for interactive filmmaking, enabling the audience to participant as a core component of narrative action and narrative navigator through the Steerable plots.
