The use of transmedia and platforms in teaching

The media isn't the message (and Jeff Gomez never says that).  It is the grand disrupter, the gamechanger, the brain bender.  The innovations in media technologies have upended traditional storytelling across all industries and challenged storytellers to learn new tools.  Media technologies and network connectivity have also, as Gomez points out, rewired consumer's brain with a new set of assumptions and expectation about the function and role of media.  Where media becomes part of the message, is in how it frames content within that set of expectations and meanings.  Our expectations of content, impact and interactivity are vastly different across platforms, i.e. mobile versus the big screen or web versus TV or digital versus paper.  The new environment as Gomez notes, demands integration of expectations in the content design

Elaine Sheldon & Sarah Ginsburg:  "Whether you are plugged into the impact metric conversation, or feel alienated by it, this episode of the She Does Podcast is for you. Lina [Srivastava] breaks down how to catalyze and amplify social impact through creative media, and she warns of pitfalls she sees in the industry, breaking down unrealistic expectations and pressure put on filmmakers to make change."

My points exactly...

Henry Jenkins:  "Last time, I shared with you the syllabus for my course on Cultural Studies of Communication. Today, I wanted to share the other class I am teaching this term — a class that explores contemporary forms of branding and PR strategies, for the Masters students in our Strategic Communication Program."

Simon Staffans:  "It's out! What is, you ask. Well, the annual curation of my blog posts, combined with interviews with a bunch of people smarter than I am, that's what :) "

Wellywood Woman:  "Single Rwandan is a four-unit transmedia project on many screens and in many voices: a documentary, a participatory web documentary, a book and an art installation, each looking from a different perspective at the search for love in today's Rwanda and how that search uses the internet and other new technologies."

Contar historias

¡Cómo ha cambiado la historia! Y la forma de contarla también ha cambiado...

Un ejemplo de ello es el cambio de preferencia de pantalla. Antes la televisión era la primerapantalla, pero el surgimiento de los ordadores y de las tablets la han relegado a un segundo plano. La necesidad de interactividad y de crear una red ha facilitado esto.

Julian Scaff:  "Taking a user-centric approach and drawing upon the disciplines of visual design, psychology, and human-computer interaction (HCI) research, UX aims to design not just the visuals and interface, but the entire user experience."

Emilio Mayorga:  "European industryites have taken note of digital platforms’s interest in TV animation, ramping up the number of projects with a transmedia approach. “Almost every project presented at Cartoon Forum had a transmedia concept,” noted Vandeweyer."

Robert Pratten:  "We’re delighted to release our Transmedia Card Deck for everyone to print, cut out and use at home! The cards are offspring of the Transmedia Playbook and intended to serve several purposes:

• show how stories can be told with audience participation
• develop creative muscles so that it becomes easier to include participation from the beginning."

Simon Staffans:  "One of the more interesting projects this autumn comes from Alison Norrington and Steve Peters, veterans of the-perhaps-previously-called-transmedia-or-perhaps-currently-called-transmedia-I-don’t-think-I-can-keep-up-any-longer-scene."

An excellent presentation from Dr. Pamela Rutledge.

Transmedia Storytelling - for the public good.

Robert Pratten:  "Transmedia for Change (T4C) is an umbrella term that encompasses transmedia activism (change in society or community) and personal growth (change in lifestyle, personal development). Underlying T4C is the belief that stories matter, that those stories need to be told to the right people at the right time and most importantly that projects should offer a pathway to success."

James Martin:  "Can a cross-media storytelling platform help a TV show? Sander/Moses Productions' co-founder Kim Moses says yes!"

Simon Staffans:  "A couple of years ago I wrote that I believe the term ”transmedia” will become utterly redundant in a few years’ time. Looking at how the audience and the audience’s engagement has evolved, how new technological possibilities, startups and solutions enable all kinds of new producers, and how the market has started leaning towards a new economy and a new way of approaching content creation, distribution and monetization… I think we’re getting there, quicker than I thought."

"When it comes to transmedia projects, there is no magic formula to reach your fans, says beActive's CEO [Nuno Bernado]"

Nick DeMartino:  "For the past couple of years I’ve been asked to contribute to year-end round-ups of the year in media, curated by transmedia producer and blogger Simon Staffans. I’ll post the link to the 2014 edition in a subsequent post, but for now, here’s a version of his questions and my answers."

How do you call yourself? And how does that relate to journalism narratives?

The Storified version of the scriptchat with Jeff yesterday.

@jeannevb:  "Jeff Gomez @Jeff_Gomez rocked Scriptchat tonight, sharing his advice on what makes a great transmedia concept and how to expand your story ideas to think bigger than just the spec screenplay."

Jeff Comez on Transmedia storytelling, A repoort full of links and resources

stuff.co.nz:  "With the spread of digital media and social networking, creativity no longer exists in a vacuum. The old broadcast model is breaking down, and linear storytelling that only goes one way is no longer enough."

Live a textured life!.... 

Great reading for the low end of Youth - those still considering a place to study. This is a success story with lots of advice that appears sound to me.

It also speaks to an emerging career choice - one that is actually a modification of an earlier career choice. This modification will, I think, pull in  more candidates because it is both much broader in scope and pulls at the strings of many young minds - opportunity for self expression in a job that both pays well if you are talented and has a future.

It also references something but doesn't include any link to the reference. A talented youth will find it but sometimes it takes a kick in the l*9% to get some moving. It is practical advice from another success on being prepared for the market and it can be found at http://idealog.co.nz/design/2014/07/classroom-client. The title is From Classroom to Client. It is also worth a read.

September was a busy month for professional development in New Zealand with events on interactive storytelling, finding 'voice' in film & television, and transmedia ... Fiona Milburn reports back from this year's DOC Edge Lab, The Big Screen Symposium and NZGDC's Hollywood & Interactive IP event.

Paula Bernstein:  "A new wave of creators is blurring the lines of storytelling to span multiple platforms. Here, a handful of those creators from this year's New York Film Festival Convergence program explain what convergence means to them."

Very interesting Article - I don´t understand fully I think - but i´m insopired to continue my own digital storytelling experiment at www.digitalstorytelle.dk

Whether you call it immersive storytelling, interactive filmmaking, transmedia or another term, what it all boils down to is new ways of connecting to audiences. Innovative, non-linear and new forms of storytelling.
