Abstract

The aim of this article is to test how different narrative structures work in mobile video storytelling applications for creative arts. Especially, we are interested in stories made with the mobile phone and for the mobile phone i.e. they are supposed to be viewed on the mobile phone. In addition, we present a new mobile social video service and demo platform MoViE that enables users to create mobile narrations and stories using narrative structures. Hypothesis is that it is possible to create a dramaturgically intensive and coherent story from various short mobile videos composed by several authors if only there is a story generator that composes the certain structure and order to the combination of mobile videos. User of a mobile phone with video camera works as an author, and several authors could produce a common narrative with one storyline that is composed by automatic story generator. In the empirical part of the article we apply a narrative structure based on jazz music as a matrix for the story generator and analyze the creation process of video clips. In this study, we use ethnomethodology as our research framework.
