3 Main Questions

1st Question set by Ian Wareing from Digital Fiction Factory

The internet, social media and other open systems generated content (UGC) crowd sourcing and other forms of audience participation to prevail in digital media. But how do we translate these features into storytelling experiances without treading on the toes of the author?

Here are a few notes I wrote through out his presentation...

The 4 main company's involved BBC, Channel 4, Conker Media, Creative England.
- Multi layered storytelling
- It all begins with the writer
- Each part must work independently
- Engagement across platforms = deeper experience of character and story
- New project = New model
- The creative network

Example of Audience participation 'The Well' by Melvin Burgess
Writer -> audience -> participation
Consider Innovations In...
TV, Radio, Film - Britain in a day & million pound drop
Online- The exquisite forest & bear 71
Mobile/Tablet - Alice for iPad & 99 reasons why
Social Media - Take this lollipop & Inside
Live Events - Ide hide you & wretch32 Invasion

They are all connected by audience participation
The Question...
'The internet, social media and other open systems have allowed for user generated content (ugc) crowd sourcing and other forms of audience participation to prevail in digital media. But how do we translate these features into story-telling experiances without treading on the toes of the author?

TV Studio part 2

After we did the paper airplanes exercise it was time to start planning for our interview, researching who the group would want.
For our 1st tutorial meeting our group had a few leads on a few people, one member of our group had chosen to get in contact with a tattoo artist, another had got in contact with a psychic and someone else had got in contact with people that.
After this meeting we decided to persue the idea of interviewing a psychic, as I am set design I decided to begin thinking of set idea's and floor plans here are some I drew...  

Set design ideas & floor plans


 

 
 


These were shown to the group in our next tutorial meeting.

The day before our show the group went out and got all the materials for the show, here are some pictures of what the final set looked like...




After we finished filming the interview we still had the music piece to record, I was a bit excited about filming the music part because I enjoy music video's and creating them. I chose to go on the middle camera for this one because there was much more challenging shots for example there was tracking shot which meant moving a couple steps to one side aswell as moving back to the same position 
I am currently waiting for a copy of the final piece because the finished piece is really good.
