Experimentation with conventional aesthetic visual codes and media forms arguably creates hybrid narratives that are specific to the parameters of the small screen. Micro-narratives seem to fuse multiple narrative forms, thus creating a looking glass theatre that acknowledges the role that handheld portable media devices play in our everyday lives. Perhaps these hybrid narrative forms really need interactivity to drive the story experience and to fully utilise the potential of mobile media.
