Week9#Reflection

Goals Of Week 9: Understand Transmedia interaction and apply it to tell a unique story.

Research Question: How can we maximize audience interest and establish story immersion to encourage audience participation?

This week, I intend to compose a narrative for an A4 assignment. The A4 assignment requires us to create using cross-media storytelling techniques. What is the definition of cross-media? According to Rutledge (2018), Transmedia continues to stretch the boundaries of storytelling by utilizing multiple platforms and technologies that expand stories beyond simple linear narratives and into multidimensional user experiences. Consequently, rather than focusing on a single storyline, I plan to use a variety of platforms and techniques to convey a story.

Immersion and the connection between the audience and the narrative are two characteristics I wish to establish in the story’s setting. How can I maximize audience engagement, create a sense of immersion, and encourage them to participate in the story?

The following is my research approach:

  1. Creating complete, emotionally engaging characters and using relatable emotive experiences to help the reader become immersed in the narrative.
  2. Utilizing multiple media platforms to enrich the dimensions of the narrative and enhance the audience’s experience.
  3. Making the audience feel like they are a part of the narrative by ensuring consistency between the story’s world and its content.
  4. Including interactive elements within the narrative, such as diversions, quests, etc.
  5. Including plot elements to ensure that the audience is not bored and to maintain the story’s interest.

I used these techniques to create the narrative for “Romantic Treasure Hunt”, and I will confirm the specific Transmedia technologies and platforms next week.
