The subject can have more than one published form
RTVE Lab’s webdoc index includes interactive projects and, in the Bugarach listing, a separately identified linear documentary. Those are distinct viewing objects even when they concern the same subject. Choosing a project card is not enough to tell another person which form you watched.
Before a discussion, record the title and whether you opened the interactive project or the film. If the project offers routes or sections, preserve the names you actually selected. The order in which you encounter material can become part of the experience.
Describe the visit another person could reproduce
Keep a short route note: entry section, the material opened and where you stopped. Record the question that led you to that route. A statement such as “the project never mentions this” is too broad if you visited only one section.
When discussing with another viewer, compare routes before comparing conclusions. You may have seen different interviews or explanations. That difference can be informative about the project’s design, but it should not be mistaken for disagreement about a shared single sequence.
If a linked audio item, video or text answers the question, retain its identity as well. A webdoc can gather several forms without making each component equivalent to the whole project. An individual page or passage gives the discussion a firmer reference.
Use a linear companion for the task it serves
A linear film supplies a fixed sequence for viewers to discuss together. An interactive project can allow a different route through related material. Choose the form that serves the session rather than treating one as an incomplete copy of the other.
The public index establishes that RTVE publishes these different forms; it does not verify every current interactive control. Preview the selected project on the intended route before a planned session and avoid promising an interaction based solely on a descriptive card. The useful outcome is a precise viewing record and a clear account of which parts you actually encountered.
Questions answered
Will every visitor to a webdoc necessarily see the same sequence?
Do not assume so. Record the sections and material you actually visited.
Is a linear documentary automatically the complete version of its webdoc?
They are different forms. Inspect their identities and choose the one appropriate to the viewing task.
