story

52. Cross-over from different media

54. Transmedia storytelling
A transmedia story unfolds across multiple media
platforms, with each new text making a
distinctive and valuable contribution to the
whole. In the ideal form of transmedia
storytelling, each medium does what it does best
– so that a story might be introduced in a film,
expanded through television, novels, and comics;
its world might be explored through game play or
experienced as an amusement park attraction.
(Jenkins, 2006)
