Week 8 Story Lab Post

The reading by Reinra Gambarato was quite interesting as the section where an ideal transmedia story will unfold across multiple platforms, with each text being distinctive as well as being able to combine into one big pervasive story. When you look at a transmedia project it is apparent that different parts of the narrative are broken off into separate sections but they are still related and affected by one another. Cohesion is difficult to achieve especially if there are a multitude of mediums that share the same universe. This would require checking back and forth between these platforms to ensure that the stories they are telling matches up with the overall narrative of the project. The use of cross referencing is a good strategy to link back to the overarching narrative as it may reference events or characters in different parts of universe to show a level of awareness between these platforms.
