can be viewed in its linear form, or deconstructed for on-demand viewing of selected segments (American Film Institute, 2004). Figure 6.4 shows examples from the Living for the Weekend prototype. Figure 6.4 Examples from Living for the Weekend (a) and (b) With programming produced only to air online, the Web could very well become another medium to access interactive television content on demand. Neither the Hijack nor Living for the Weekend prototypes from the 2004 workshop were deployed following the workshop. However, they illustrate some new creative directions that iTV will venture into in the near future. 6.3 BUILDING COMMUNITY One of the most exciting aspects about iTV is its potential for convening large audiences, either by connecting existing communities around programs that traditionally enjoy a loyal following, or by creating new communities around programs and events through compelling interactivity. Tracy Swedlow forecasts that: (a) (b) Those producing ITV shows and applications, eventually, will soon discover that not one, but hundreds, thousands, or even millions of viewer interest groups will form around the context of shows – each with a different perspective, agenda, and style of communications. Ultimately, this will encourage and eventually require 181
television producers to create shows that consider the shared group communications dynamic experience (possibly for many related groups independently at once) and not the individual or the mass audience solely as a viewer unit. Community or public television in other words will, potentially, – at last – emerge when ITV technologies make video and data content a platform for discussion and participation (2000). As we discussed in chapter three, participation is one of the key elements inherent to television genres such as sports, dramas, and reality programs, where viewers are always eager to participate and weigh in with their opinions. And as we have seen in chapter five with examples such as CBS’ C.S.I. Interactive, and ABC’s Celebrity Mole: Yucatan, compelling interactive content can do a great deal in convening an audience around a television program. Ben Cunningham concurs with Swedlow regarding iTV’s potential to turn television into programs targeted at large special interest groups; this model of large- scale, conversation making, high-rating TV is what he calls “Event TV” (2003). According to Cunningham, “Interactive TV technology allows us to turn TV shows into events, because the public can now participate easier than ever before. Event TV is a great platform driving Interactive TV usage as it allows greater levels of participation, and gets the nation talking” (2003). In addition, this model of television broadcasting is well suited to multi-platform applications using the Web, TV, mobile and gaming devices. Michael Grade, the former chief executive of the U.K.’s Channel 4 Television, said that interactive television may be something to “make the event more eventful” (quoted in Gawlinski, 2003). While iTV convenes communities, it also promises to provide users with richer, more personalized entertainment. It will evolve toward new levels of social interaction, both through the network and in the future, directly with each other. Another model of community that may evolve in the realm of iTV is that of a peer-to-peer one. We have 182
