Transmedia Storytelling and Journalism
- 1. Transmedia Storytelling {Part 1 & Part 2}
- 3. The value of stories • • • • • They teach us Provide motivation Validate our lives Provide a compass Help us connect
- 5. Henry Jenkins (2003) • “A process where integral elements of a fiction get dispersed systematically across multiple delivery channels for the purpose of creating a unified and coordinated entertainment experience.”
- 6. Transmedia Storytelling • “The fact remains that successful and credible transmedia novels must focus primarily on story and, without that focus, will be in danger of shifting from a viable „immersive experience‟ to one of those transparent „cross-media marketing initiatives and/or brand extensions‟”Norrington
- 7. Story world
- 8. Transmedia Storytelling • Narratives that simultaneously develop on multiple media • The whole experience is sum of multiple parts
- 9. Key points 1. A story narrated among different media channels and platforms. 2. Prosumers actively participate in the construction of the narrative world.
- 10. Shareable content • Available when and where audiences want it • Portable • Relevant to multiple audiences
- 13. MMJ push
- 15. Overview • Transmedia 1.0: “Pushed Media” • Transmedia 2.0: “Extended Media” • Transmedia 3.0: “Adapted Media” • Transmedia 4.0: “Experiences in Media”
- 16. Cross Media 1.0 “Pushed Media” What is it? Pushed media happens when the same content is delivered in the same form (or with very minor modifications or editing) across multiple platforms. How does it work? The user could create their own cross media linkages by watching half of the episode on mobile and the rest on broadband. Good examples: This level does not have strong cross media triggers but may promote the same content on another platform. Kindle Books
- 17. Cross Media 2.0: “Extended Media” What is it? Extended cross media happens when additional content is produced alongside a main production, but delivered through different platforms. Good examples: Derived downloadable content. Flash / Facebook games. Online “making of” videos.
- 18. Cross Media 3.0: “Adapted Media” What is it? How does it work? Adapted media happens where a specific existing narrative is specifically re-authored for a new form of media. The content placed on the original platform is adapted for a different platform. Elements of the original content can be lost in the transmediation process, but new experiences can be gained because of the process.
- 19. Cross Media 4.0: “Experienced | Bridged Media” What is it? How does it work? Content is distributed across many platforms in a non-linear way. It is producer hands-off - participant/s follow their own path, and therefore, personalizing the experience. A crossmedia 4.0 property is co-creative, collaborative play with the audience across many devices, which evolves and grows a life of its own. This level of cross media is also called “Transmedia Storytelling”.

- 42. Rural America
- 43. Prison Valley
- 44. 3. Immersion vs. Extractability • Immersion – ability of consumers to enter into storyworlds • Extractability – fan takes aspects of the story away with them as resources they deploy in the space of their everyday life.

- 56. Reasonable metrics • Collaboration generates: • Value: great content for all platforms. • Utility: involvement, engagement, communities, participation • Increased price for content: as loyalty rises, likelihood of revenue generation from content increases (merchandising, games, add-ons, etc.) • Reduced costs of production: as content is developed collaboratively, there is less need for capital investment in content Image source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jurvetson/916142

- Good stories always become part of our history and our culture…. one thing in common: they all tell a story.But something is changing. Stories are formed and followed differently than before. Boundaries are blurred, but what does that mean for our future? Never before have people had so many devices and screens from which to follow stories, and now the consumers seek new experiences and a deeper engagement.
- People are shaping, framing, remixing media content. People who are successful are highly in touch with their audiences. However, traditional media providers are struggling with growing prominence of grassroots media. This is not a social media class, this is a class about how content creation is shifting. Spreadability means that we want to produce content that is easy to share and encourage varying access points to it across platforms. This paradigm essentially says that anything worth sharing will be shared. What is meaningful? What motivates people to share? According to pew 72% of people follow the news because they like to share it with friends.
- So what has happened is that storytelling has become more prominent… marketing, pr, … it is how we communicate…by telling stories, if you understand storytelling, your content will be more meaningful and will be more likely shared.Brains need stories • Stories become shared experiences, Stories hold universal truths, Relationships trump products in the new brand-consumer ecosystem
- Relationship with media is shifting to multiple screens and diverse devices. Patterns and habits are changing based on the media that we interact with,. McLuhan—medium is not neutral. The message is the medium. It is courtship with the people we are supposed to want to act based on what we create. How does your content Inspire audience interactivity. viewers and desired context. Do you think about interactivity? The audience? What do you know about the people who read you stuff?Blog – identify a need
- Henry Jenkins presented the idea of Transmedia Storytelling for the first time in 2003. Transmedia, used by itself, simply means “across media.” Where each platform adds something unique and valuable. Users can join the story at different places, can participate, contribute content, and each piece motivates the user to seek out the others.Let’s be clear… the story and the experience with the knowledge of your audience helps you you use choose your platforms.
- Content they think of social media and other platforms as promotion… rather than creating an experience for the user to engage the content
- Transsedia represents a structure based on the further development of the storyworld through each new medium….. so all adaptions to some degree add to the range of meanings attached to a story. back story,
- Take a single story or story world… break it into pieces that lives across multiple formats.The whole experience is sum of multiple parts
- Transmedia storytelling involves telling a story across multiple media platforms – including TV shows, movies, graphic novels, books, games, mobile apps, microsites, social networks, online communities and offline events. Difficult to do #2 in jschools because we do not have existing relationships because our students are continiously moving on… making content that is shareable because we are not really tapped into communitiesMultiple media may tell different stories but explore common theme, which can be experienced through multiple narrativesConsiders user’s lifestyle, media habits, context,Audiences co-creates with storytellers resulting in participatory design and culture
- People don’t circulate because advertisers ask them to… it because they are invested. When we share, we communicate to soothe about ourselves. Adjust your perspective…. Content is just a medium that ENABLES INTERACTION BETWEEN people. As a content producer, how are you enabled communication???? Greater fragmentation of content – long tail
- So you don’t want to include the public,,, fine we will do it ourselves.
- Social media and journalism are not separate. Henry jenkins said in his book if it doesn’t spread, it is dead. Focus is of this class is on content that connects. Why do we go into journalism? To have an impact. We will also explore why storytelling is growing. We all tell stories.
- Adapted for different platforms
- Allow people to adapt it and remix it. It relies on the audience and so it by necessity treats them with respect. It does not “sell” them, but rather invites them to become co-participants to expand the narrative.
- Create snacks of content… deepen the emotional connection to content… more willing to share something that is not too consuming… if we think of engagement in terms of developing emotional connects between
- Describe “transmedia experience” if you were tell the stories of the “Three little pigs.”• We have four main characters—three pigs and the wolf.• We can make opportunities to get to know the wolf from another angle, using for example, a companion website to learn more about him, the path that led him to his current antisocial tendencies, and that could give us a glimpse of his inner genius. It turns out that Wolf has great quantitative talent and has developed mathematical schematics of the impact of wind velocity on the materials of straw, sticks and bricks.• A story website could provide find maps of the turnip field, apple tree, local market and County Fair and plan strategic attack and defense positions. For wolf sympathizers, there is a Team Wolf, where participants can contribute to plotting strategies for attack and plan adjustments based on each volley. A similar network exists for Team Pigs. A new game called “Angry Pigs” tossing turnips at wolves is available for download for mobile phones.• To get to know the pigs, the first little pig keeps a blog and details the family history, his paranoid suspicions of a dark figure lurking about his house that led to the pigs’ decision to live apart rather than together.• There are pictures and puzzles of Super Pig on the walls of Pig #1’s house in the main story to give recognition to the people who have seen the Anime but will not detract from any other viewer experience.• The second little pig Tweets his chronicle, seeking advice on sustainable building materials and the relative merits of straw and sticks from other Twitterers, and relaying breaking newsin the heat of the battle: @littlepig2 walls of house bowing inward, sticks flying off roof – help!• The third little pig has a cooking series on YouTube with ways to make Parsley Turnips, Baked Apples, and Stewed Wolf Surprise. He hides clues for secret ingredients in his dishes in lyrics ofsongs and the YouTube trailers and he encourages viewers to send in their stories about home cooking and wolf encounters to be shared on a website. He publishes a cookbook with recipes The YouTube videos are shot on location in the third pig’s house, so if you see the videos, you can additional glimpse of the house interiors and daily life for Pig #3• The hypothetical transmedia version of the Three Little Pigs is not the repurposing of the story across different platforms as in traditional “cross media” advertising. It is the creation of aholistic narrative that unfolds in different and unique manners across different media. It allows for a dialogue between creator and participant. Developers can decide ifparticipant interaction, such as solving the sustainable materials problem, finding the wolf through clues and maps, or creating another character for the story, could move the storyin different directions than the original version. Participants might introduce a hunter to the narrative on a fan fiction forum who steps up the stakes for the wolf and alters the time dimension of the wolf’s schemes. I hear that under development is an educational video game based on physics concepts and, there is also talk of a Massively Multi-Player Online Role-Playing Game.

- Provide an overview of your show: What is the premise and major narrative/character arcs of your show? Does your show have any particular features that make it suitable for transmedia? Consider narrative structure, target audience, genre, and on which network/channel it airs.Explain the goal of your transmedia experience and why you decided on the particular format/platform in which your transmedia appears. Situate your transmedia production in relationship to course content: explicitly relate your project to at least two different scholarly sources and to two different transmedia examples that we have examined during the semester. You may use additional popular/scholarly sources and examples.

- Let me be clear…. Fans , people who care are the ones who want to immerse themselves and learn more….

You want to engage them…. identify their interests/////
- Who knows who Jay-Z is? He is a musician and rapper, clothing design company head, motivational speaker, restauranteur, and if he didn’t have enough claims to fame. Jay-Z is all of those things— What does this mean about Jay-Z? Jay-Z is a BRAND.Jay-Z as a brand has furthered his franchise with very smart use of transmedia. A spectacularly example in his booked “Decoded” and the “Alternate Reality Game” (ARG) in conjunction with Microsoft’s Bing search engine that launched the book. “Decoded the ARG” was designed as a giant scavenger hunt to find the pages of Jay-Z’s book. Clues were in Bing maps that would lead participants to places such as the bottom of Jay-Z’s Miami hotel pool, on the dinner plates in Jay-Zs NYC restaurant, behind the mirror in Jay-Zs NYC bar, and wrapped around and on a 1982 Cadillac Seville parked in front of a Run DMC graffiti mural in Brooklyn.the explicit and implicit message that we are decoding Jay-Z’s life. It is a spectacular example because it allows people to get to know Jay-Z in a participatory and experiential way – we can eat off the his plates, we can experience his tastes by ordering Jay-Zs favorite meal, we can physically visit his old neighborhood in Brooklyn and learn his backstory—what was important to him in the past (the Caddy) as well as where he likes to go today. We can visit the life of Jay-Z through the ARG scavenger hunt, puttingthe book together. But if we didn’t play the game, we can still read the book. Neither relies on the other to understand Jay-Z. If we do both, we get the franchise of Jay-Z – which is another way of saying his full story.

A journey into what the future might holdA web documentary by David Dufresne & Philippe Brault.Anna NicoleAs much as narratives break up our inward, personal experiences, they also allow us to make meaning of events in our exterior world. Known narratives also become cognitive shorthand. We often take events and apply a known narrative as a way of quickly understanding something; this is a useful cognitive tool but sometimes this is accurate. For example, we could look at Anna Nicole Smith from a number of “known narratives”– to some she might have been a Hooker with a Heart of Gold. To others, she was a Gold Digger.

- Players are shown a map of New York City, and are tasked with getting as many heart attack patients to emergency care facilities as possible. Obstacles into the game: different hospitals and facilities have different heart-attack survival rates. Second, the amount of time spent in transportation to the ER affectschance of survival. We used the best data we could find in two days, including querying the Google Transportation API for real transportation times between two locations, and data from the Emergency Medicine Journal on survival rates for heart attack patients.
- If the player reaches the same ending, then the game won't be challenging or meaningful. Play and news. Games should invite players to play again — whether they want to improve their score, encounter harder challenges, or discover something new. If "content is king" in journalism, replayability is king in gaming.
