Transmedia: A Filmmakers Foe or Ally?

Transmedia: A Filmmakers Foe or Ally? | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

Julian Cheevers:  "There’s increasingly a lot of talk about Transmedia storytelling; the idea of taking pieces of a story and systematically putting them across different media touch points for the purposes of creating a unified and coordinated entertainment experience. But why is Transmedia storytelling important for independent filmmakers in particular?"

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:

In a sentence ... "Transmedia has an element of marketing to it at times, but when done well it’s simply good storytelling, an extension of the film experience". Do you agree?

Richard Stadler's curator insight, June 25, 2013 7:18 AM

This could be a subtle shift in content creation. It might work, it might not, but I think test it. It might work for your company/market and not others..

Rob Erickson's curator insight, July 2, 2013 3:49 PM

It's definitely an ally if done the correct way.
