we spent most of last week talking about transmedia storytelling. on monday, we discussed the matrix; on wednesday, we discussed henry jenkins' chapter "searching for the oragami unicorn: the matrix and transmedia storytelling"; and on friday, we shared and discussed other forms of matrix-related transmedia. by now, you should have a basic understanding of what transmedia storytelling is and how it works. now's the time to make some.
1. working individually or in groups, design and launch a transmedia story about USF. your story can be about anything as long as it is interesting and relates to USF. you are free to explore - and free not to explore - any of the topics we brainstormed in class on friday.
2. your transmedia story must unfold/be told through at least 5 platforms: twitter, flickr, our class blog, USFPool (which we will learn how to use in class on monday), and 1 other platform of your choice.
3. the 5 platforms must be linked/connected. be creative and thoughtful with your connections.
4. make links from your USF story to the stories of at least 5 other DMP students. be creative and thoughtful with your connections.
5. whenever possible, give your readers opportunities to comment and contribute to your story.
rules:
a. follow all directions.
b. if you have no work to demo for friday's demo day, do not come to class.
