Abstract

There are parallels between the early stages of development of interactive multimedia programs and the 'Primitive Mode of Representation' in early film. Findings from fieldwork analyzing children's use of 4 interactive multimedia programs are compared with a description of some features of early film and are used as the basis of a consideration of some of the problems faced by an audience encountering a nascent medium. Some of the methods which were adopted to facilitate the audience's understanding of films - the use of intertitles and a narrator - are considered, and discusses thesuitability for adaptation to interface design for multimedia programs
