Questions from Transmedia Presentation
Thanks everyone for an interesting class today. As promised, here are our questions from our presentation:
1. Do consumers want to make these connections or is this construct embraced only by die-hard fans who simply can’t get enough? How commercially successful are the strands of transmedia storytelling if they are consumed by only fan cults? Or does their existence encourage a deeper consumption among the ordinary fan of the source media?
2. What are the pitfalls of transmedia storytelling? Does it tarnish or weaken the brand with multiple creative strands spread out across multiple platforms? Does convergence insist on multi-platform engagement for the consumer to get the whole story?
3. What are your own stories that you feel could benefit from a transmedia treatment?
4. If you have your own project on transmedia, what would be your educational platforms? Will you write your own story? Will you rewrite a classic narratives like the “The Lizzie Bennet Diaries”? Or would you rather rewrite popular narratives like “The Hunger Games” for educational purposes?
