'Interactive narrative' covers many mediums, such as storytellers, computer games, books and films. The Internet has opened all sorts of possibilities for interactive narrative, but due to its nature, so far text based narratives have been developed the furthest.

Filmlog addresses this problem by functioning as a weblog, but with the medium of film and pictures instead of text. Filmlog hostes would start by first suggesting a topic, using a filmclip or series of pictures. People would then respond by submitting their own film clips and pictures.

To enable viewers or creater to diverge on a perticuler topic/clip/picture, each clip or image followed where a new sequance of content can be added.

To understand how these clips link, is best understood when each clip is treated as a node, each with its own time line. These clips could then have more content added to them, much like adding content to a wiki node. It was then up to viewers to navigate through these nodes, adding links to more nodes as they went.

Similar to how peer to peer file sharing works at the moment, individuals who have added their own media would store the files locally on their own machines. When media is added to a node only a reference to where the media is accesible is added. This media is then streamed over the Internet to all the other participants. This way storage of vast quantities of media is distributed among the participants, and bandwidth can be kept as low as possible.
