Interactive Cinema: Theory, Practice, and AI Methodologies

Інтерактивне кіно: теорія, практика та АІ-методології

01 · About the course

Theory and practice of interactive cinema (audiovisual interactive storytelling): history from Kinoautomat and FMV to web/VR, creative tools taxonomy, and AI-assisted research, branching design, prototyping (Twine/Arcweave/React), and production packages.

Теорія і практика інтерактивного кіно (АІО): історія від «Кіноавтомата» та FMV до web/VR, таксономія творчих інструментів, АІ-асистоване дослідження, розгалужений дизайн, прототипування (Twine/Arcweave/React) і production package.

06 · What you'll learn

06 · What you'll learn

  • Define interactivity, agency, immersion, and non-linear narrative with critical precision

  • Reconstruct and analyse historical and contemporary interactive works with AI-assisted methods

  • Map narrative graphs and design meaningful choice (e.g. Bandersnatch, Her Story reverse-engineering)

  • Prototype branching logic in Twine/Arcweave and timed-choice UI components in React

  • Build a production package: scenario branches, concept art (generative AI with disclosure), montage, pitch

07 · Roadmap

  1. Block I — Foundations of interactive cinema and AI-assisted research methodology

  2. Block II — Evolution: AI reconstruction of history; digital era and technology impact

  3. Block III — Typology of forms; systematic analysis of creative tools (narrative, AV, immersive)

  4. Block IV — Production: AI in pre-production (script & prototype), production/post tools, economy & ethics

  5. Studios — Deconstruct a work · Branching scenario + logic prototype · Concept art & montage · Pitch defence
