19th of September, Transmedial storytelling


Giovagnoli vs Jenkins: Starting from the audience vs starting from a strong, existing franchise.
Question: What is the direction of the story you are designing? Audience vs franchise, distributed authoring vs centralised authoring?



Which of these characters are designed in a way that can make them superheroes, and why? Or why not?
Plot-driven vs character driven stories: Can you give examples from games, books, series or movies for each of these positions of story generation?


Tosca and Klastrup:
Cosplay – what does it tell us about the characters? See Game of Thrones cosplay and discuss what it reveals about the show and how people receive it.

Worldness:
What is worldness, how is it created, can characters be part of creating worldness?
Game worlds vs transmedial worlds, what is the difference?
Creating worldness
We will watch TinTin, episode 1, season 1, and talk about developing worlds.

Knowledge:
What determines who would like to play a game of a book about to become a series? Why would some be interested in exploring, while others are not? What makes people feel invested enough for puzzle solving? Why would sharing be spamming?
What are collapsed contexts?

Tosca: Retelling little red riding hood
Well known stories: Give us examples of the smallest hints you need in order to recognize little red riding hood.
