The Story Lab: Week 10 Reflections

Here we are!! Week 10 of the semester and Project Instafame has launched….
We are currently in week 1 of the narrative and our main character Emily is in full flight on her various social media platforms!
As a group we are definitely beginning to realise the amount of organisation and planning it is needed to take to keep this narrative flowing coherently but overall I think we are pretty on top of things.

Fortunately our main platform in the story, Tumblr, has the fantastic option to be able to queue posts. Although it is not the most user friendly function, it stil enables us as a group to be able to sit down and plan each post together and send it off into the queue, so we are able to focus on Emily’s other platforms such as Instagram which annoyingly require precise organisation as each post must be posted on the day in order to sync up to our planned timeline.

Although the narrative has been planned out and each major plot point in the story has a specific date, we are still open to the narrative being able to change and evolve as we continue to post through Emily and we have already found better ways to tweak the narrative to be more engaging. Already after seeing a couple days of Emily’s posts already out there in the internet is making me feel a lot more confident of our project overall and I think that the message behind it is relevant to society today and I hope those who experience our transmedia project in its entirety feel the same way too.
