An application such as Love & Diane: An Interactive Timeline allows for non-<br />

synchronous but meaningful navigation of video content. In this example, the Interactive<br />

Timeline presents a visual representation of key events in the lives of Love and Diane,<br />

two main characters in the PBS documentary of the same title. Users can navigate the<br />

story both chronologically and thematically. The timeline highlights key moments in the<br />

family’s life, allowing viewers an overview of the intertwined stories of mother and<br />

daughter, and providing order and orientation for a complex chronology, and making<br />

clear the events that happened before we meet the family members. The viewer can also<br />

sort the film clips thematically, exploring the dramatic parallels in struggle and resilience,<br />

defeat and achievement, across four generations.<br />
