Speech Act Theory and Subjective Interpretation

Recent conclusions have undermined my initial criticism of other digital pop-up books, and the idea that J. L. Austin's performative formula might help categorize certain elements as detrimental to the narrative.

It was my perception that the interactive animations in some of the digital Pop-Up books do not do anything to further the story. I thought some of them looked tacked on, rather than integrated, and the resulting form is more of a toy than a book.

example:

Initially, I criticized the example though principals of Mise-en-scène (every element should give the audience new information, supporting the narration), and I hoped that an overarching linguistic form could clarify the function of cinematic, interactive media, and literary elements, discerning irrelevant and tangential Speech Acts.
After analyzing my own work through the theory, I cannot ignore the fact that the same justifications for my own use of interactive media in the form could be used to support the things I did not like.
The interactive animations in the above books give the reader an experience from the narration, and therefore could be viewed as an immersive narrative device.
