The Transmedia Project: Roles
AGENDA:
Discussion of individual roles and responsibilities within the group:
Everyone should have a significant writing project--story line, character sketches, brochure, newspaper, journal, blog, script for movie trailer, diary entries, instructional manual, history of the town, family tree, etc.
Additional responsibilities MAY include visual material: maps, drawings, comic book, etc.
Multiple platforms need multiple experts in the making. “You’re not building a story. You’re building a universe” says Susan Bell to describe the numerous branches and interactions that need to be put together when producing a transmedia experience. Transmedia producers are responsible for building the team that will create the magic, mixing complementary skills and finding the right balance between extraordinary creativity (storytellers, game designers, story architects) and top notch execution (developers, community managers, planners, filmmakers, copywriters, etc.). How do you get them to work together and understand each other? How do you transfer the vision when the project goes from hands to hands? Good luck with that.
PLEASE POST WHAT EACH MEMBER OF YOUR GROUP IS WORKING ON. IF SOMEONE IS NOT DOING A WRITING PROJECT, THEY SHOULD COME UP WITH ONE! THE WRITING IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR GRADE!
