Abstract
Narrative,structure,models,are useful,tools,for understand- ing how and why narratives of any medium,affect an audi- ence’s level,of participation,in their role of story,reconstruc- tion and,understanding.,[14] With,the advent,of the com- puter,comes,the potential,to negotiate,through,many,such models,and,variables,within,models,as a means,of generat- ing multiple,narratives,quickly,and,semi-autonomously. The computational,narrative model presented in this paper offers one approach to narrative generation, that of splitting the task,into,three,functional,areas:,1) defining,an,abstract narrative,structure;,2) defining,a collection,and,organization of story,pieces,with,some,representation,of their meaning; and,3) a navigational,strategy,or reasoning,through,that col- lection,of story,pieces.,Agent,Stories is a story,design,and presentation environment for non-linear, multiple-point-of- view,cinematic,stories.,It is designed,to be,placed,in the hands,of the,non-linear,story,writer,to use,as a tool to pro- mote,structuring,and,re-writing,of non-linear,narratives,be- fore,and,as they,are realized,in audio,and,video.
