Abstract
In this paper we describe short mobile video story tests that have been done by using several authors/ users as story composers in the MoViE platform, which enables users to share, communicate and compose short mobile video stories in a networked community. The starting point of our study is the possibility to create an entertaining, dramaturgically intensive and coherent story from various short mobile videos composed by several authors, if there is some structure or storyline that creates the narrative. The idea was to research how separately filmed mobile videos from the same event or experience could form a dramaturgically intensive story when they are loaded into a web based story generator (MoViE). The test hypothesis was that a community – whether virtual or non virtual – could create an entertaining experience through a video montage.
