Interactive video is a relatively new instructional medium that incorporates elements of its parent technologies, computers and video. Producers and directors of instructional video who wish to work in interactive video will find that straight-line video production skills are still relevant and valuable, but those skills must be augmented and applied in new ways. This article describes some of the adjustments a producer or director accustomed to working in linear video could expect to make when working on an interactive video program, during the stages of preproduction, production, and postproduction.
