Hypertextual stories allow theviewer/user to experience narrative

in a chosen way. Stories oftenbecome fragmented or existsimultaneously. Hypertext is aboutfragments and connections,contingencies and roads not taken.

Ted Nelson, who coined the term`hypertext,' defines it as:

nonsequential writing--text thatbranches and allows choices to thereader, best read at an interactive

screen. As popularly conceived, this is a series of text chunksconnected by links which offer the reader different pathways.[Nelson1981].

Nonlinear narrative

Nonlinear narrative or disrupted narrative is a narrativetechnique, sometimes used in literature, film and other narratives,wherein events are portrayed out ofchronological order. It is often

used to mimic the structure and recall of human memory but has beenapplied for other reasons as well.

wife walks from therapy to his office, tells him she's leaving him,weeps in a bookstore restroom, and walks home with a cocaine-sniffingactress friend for what may lead to sex.

Short Cuts

Short Cuts does not conform to traditional narrative Hollywood cinema.There is narrative, to be sure, though the manner in which narrativeoperates moves far and away from classical Hollywood style. A briefdetour: by "classic Hollywood style," I refer to a more "traditional"narrative where one character, or maybe a few, are privileged with themost screen time. Questions asked by the text are almost alwaysanswered, usually answered "sensibly." The ending usually resolvesthe story's conflicts. There is usually only one main story, whichprogresses from beginning to end without serious detour. In addition,and perhaps most importantly, the filmmaking style does not drawattention to itself in classic Hollywood cinema. Camera movements,edits, and acting serve to push the story forward to an eventualresolution. The means of production are largely or entirely kept fromthe viewer.
