Entry Points
staged entries
A user chooses when and where to exit a database narrative. The entrance is always fixed and designed. Whether the opening interface is a broad, restricted or randomly generated set of data and paths, the user must pass through a staged entry. Entry points can establish narrative frames and genre, present views of data sets, describe elements of plot, character, setting or themeāor withhold any and all of these. However the interface is designed, the entry point to a database narrative prepares the user for interaction and most importantly the desire for interaction.
