What's the idea behind an interactive transmedia film?
What's the premise of HBO's Voyeur?
What's the premise of High Rise, the documentary?
What are some interactive elements you found in both High Rise and HBO's Voyeur?
What are your overall thoughts on both projects?
The idea of transmedia film is to integrate the user/viewer into the story, to make it more real for them and to make them more interested in it and in this way the viewer or user keeps wanting more.
ReplyDeleteThe premise is pretty much different stories happening in different parts of the same place at the same time and you can see all of them or just focus on one but it gets really weird when you have no idea how the old lady with a machete got into a random room unless you have been seeing the rest of the building.
Highrise allows you to look around urban areas as if you were there and learn more about the place without having top leave your house but still getting a fuller experience.
The user gets to look around and listen to something while he does that, the user has a choice on what he wants to see.
I believe they were pretty good and interesting ideas that can open the doors to many more projects on many more fields.
The idea behind an interactive transmedia film is to let the audience interact and chose what they want to view and how they want to watch the video.
ReplyDeleteHBO's Voyeur would not load for me, but from what I could tell you could watch different apartments tell a story and then when you were done watching you could click on another one.
I liked the High Rise it showed the whole world with different stories. I liked how you could click inside the apartments on the people and then a video would pop out.
Both let you click on the video you wanted to watch.
At first I was a little confused on how to use it, but one I was watching the videos I thought it was really cool.

the idea is that people are completely immersed in the story weather it be calling in, clicking online or any other way they are interacting. The premise of Voyeur is you can "creep" around various peoples windows and see into their intimate lives. Everything thing is a little off beat disturbing and odd you can explore and even view the streets and various other buildings. For High Rise you get to explore various apartment buildings around the world. You get to learn about the buildings themselves and some of the people who live there. The stories are very heartbreaking and crazy. I found the ability to click view and explore in both stories online.My thoughts are that this is an amazing idea and I love the concepts of both. I feel like you get wrapped up in the story more when you can explore around and view it from the outside digitally. I found the more engaged I was the more enjoyable. I got so wrapped up in some of the stories I felt like I was actually there in the buildings with them.
ReplyDeleteThe idea behind interactive media is to have the viewer not only pay attention to retain information but to also but interacting with the screen during it. Be being interactive you're engaging more mentally and physically because you're paying closer attention to finer details.
ReplyDeleteThe premise of HBO's Voyeur is to click on different apartments to see different small scenes that would ordinarily take place in a large city. Some of the apartments had families getting ready for the day, a mortician doing work and different people arguing. With Voyeur, you can change the date which makes the character in the apartment do something else.
The premise of the documentary, High Rise is to have viewers engage and learn different facts about apartments to bridges. By being able to engage in different views allows you to interact as well as learn some new things.
The interactive elements I found in both High Rise and Voyeur are: you can change the music, both are very informative, clicking different screens gives different options to explore. Both are very informative.
I thought both pieces were pretty unique. I like High Rise a little more because I thought it was more informative and it kept my attention longer.
I think that the idea behind the transmedia film is to be able to see and do all of these new things and its cool how now we can use our computers to see what people are doing all over the world. It makes it more fun and interactive to see people all over.
ReplyDeleteI think that a cool thing is to be able to see that there are people all over the place doing things and living there everyday life the way that we do. I was able to see montral.
I think that both are really cool and fun and interactive
The idea behind an interactive transmedia film is to get the viewers to be more than viewers. It allows viewers to become participants and choose what they want to see/hear about the overall topic. The premise of HBO's Voyeur is that it allows quick stolen glimpses into the lives of others. It's a minor intrusion that allows us to look around and think about what others around us are going through. It is kind of an interactive Rear Window type of platform. As for High Rise, the focus is more journalistic on what high rise structures, and the many topics this brings about, affect those inside - and why we should care. It asks us with the guides who/what we find most relevant and what we want to see next. In both of them, there is a freeform set-up where the participant can choose which part should be focused on and when. Also, both share the idea of trying to get a glimpse into others' lives, though Voyeur is more like spying while High Rise is like an invite into someone else's life for a couple of minutes. I certainly prefer the latter as it comes off as more journalistic and the purpose seems to be greater and more obvious, but I think both offer something interesting and are intriguing to play around with and see what the different parts are about. Also, depending on which sections you choose, you get a different story/concept every time.

ReplyDeleteWhat's the idea behind an interactive transmedia film?
I believe the idea behind an interactive transmedia film is to attract different types of viewers, and to see different perspectives of a story. Just because someone likes to use social media does not mean they would be interested in watching a movie, so telling the story from different mediums allows for a larger and broader audience.
What's the premise of HBO's Voyeur?
The premise of HBO’s voyeur is to show different stories that people have behind closed doors. HBO is typically an outlet for TV that is extremely provocative. It was not surprising to see some shocking images while looking through Voyeur, but the reality is that there is a huge audience for people who like to watch provocative media.
What's the premise of High Rise, the documentary?
The premise of High Rise, the documentary was interesting because it focused a little on the people, but mostly on how people live within high rise buildings. It kept focused on the idea that High Rise buildings are the most prevalent in today’s society.
What are some interactive elements you found in both High Rise and HBO's Voyeur?
In both High Rise and Voyeur there was an interactive element of clicking to different apartments. Both sites allowed zooming and incorporated sound. They also allowed a choice of location throughout the site.
What are your overall thoughts on both projects?
I find both projects to be extremely engaging and entertaining. While using Voyeur I felt uncomfortable because you feel as if you are looking at people’s personal lives. High Rise felt less invasive because even though it was real people, they were aware and invited the public into their homes.
The idea behind interactive trans media is to give the audience a chance to participate with the media instead of acting as a spectator. When they are given the opportunity to explore themselves, it creates an exciting element of discovery. The premise of HBO's Voyeur is to give the viewer a chance to follow multiple stories at their own pace and choosing. It allows the viewer to dive into other people lives and watch the story play out. The premise of HighRise is to educate people on the variety of conditions and lifestyles of people living in high rises around the world. Both give the viewer the opportunity to explore at their own pace and have a sense of choice when determining how they want the story to unfold. They also give the viewer a lot of material to explore. I enjoyed exploring both projects. I liked how they encouraged the viewer to interact with the material. With HighRise, I enjoyed how they included extra material that gives more context to the project that is equally as interactive as the documentary. Although HBO's Voyeur can feel slightly odd, it is still an engaging way to tell a story.

Interactive transmedia film seems to be something that could be very informative. The idea behind it is to tell a story, to perhaps show a different side of something to many people and give it a new way and idea to see the world, as they want things to be seen. HBO’s Voyeur was a good example to see how many different stories are being told at one time. I liked that you were able to highlight which places and spaces you wanted to view. Or you were even able to click to see the entire apartment. You did not want to look away. People are so interested in looking at other people’s lives. So they are more intrigued to keep looking and keep exploring through all the options. With the high Rise documentary it was able to show you life around the world. People are living in these horrid conditions and then these high rise building are being put in and making a difference. The one in South Africa stood out because of the high crime rates, robbery and rape. When the buildings conducted higher levels of security crime rates and violence had gone down dramatically. I liked how you were able to see into people’s lives in both interactive elements. It was nice to pick what you watch and had a lot of free range of where to go next or rewatch if you didn’t get it the first time. I loved both of these projects and could definitely see it be put into place on a variety of other subject matter.

What's the idea behind an interactive transmedia film? The idea of an interactive transmedia film is to make people interact with what is going on so the public gets more engaged and they can participate as if it was real. Another important idea is to show in different manner whether is a story, information, news, etc. I feel like making people interact brings more attention, and people gets more involved and can participate.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the premise of HBO's Voyeur? The premise is a marketing and interactive storytelling, showing the life of people in different flats using voyeurism as the idea of storytelling.
What's the premise of High Rise, the documentary? Interactive storytelling of New York city where you can see regular people lives and what they are used to do. You can interact and see videos of them, documentaries, etc.
What are some interactive elements you found in both High Rise and HBO's Voyeur? Interactive elements are clicking on different parts of the image with different sounds and even images that moved while you could read text. Also, being able to click different parts of a map to get to know different people of diverse parts of the world.
What are your overall thoughts on both projects? I think they are very smart ideas, and I was really shocked and impressed of these new ways of sharing stories. Personally, I liked better the HighRise one, because I did not find it as that different. However, I think both of them are great ideas and very engaging and entertaining as long with useful tools to get to know different cultures and scenarios.
The idea behind an interactive transmedia film is to allow a linear story to be told in one medium such as a video, as well as giving the audience control of what part of the story is told and how it's told.
ReplyDeleteHBO's Voyeur gives the audience a virtual insight into the lives of residence of various apartmwents. The audience has the ability to move from apartment to apartment, as well as from building to building and day to day as they so please to.
The High Rise documentary, is a real life story telling documentary, giving it's audience an insight into real life people, their struggles and background, it seems to be people who make a positive impact in their community and surroundings for a better and more positive purpose.
The ease of accessibility to travel around both their virtual worlds and see the real and surreal lives of many people and characters.
Great projects that push the limit on virtual reality and interaction, no longer is an AI not able to take a very human form, being that in this case these are all real life beings but we as the audience have a control on their virtual perception (virtual reality).
The idea is to involve the viewer in the form of media so that they feel like they are a part of it.
ReplyDeleteVoyeur allows you to select which stories you observe, rather than be forced to pay attention to any storylines you do not care about (looking at you, Game of Thrones).
High Rise is about high rise buildings all over the world and the people who live in them, and it allows you to take in as much or as little information about each part of the film as you want.
They share in common an element of choice. You can spend hours dissecting each story happening in Voyeur, or zoom in on one or two, and in High Rise you can either spend hours watching the documentary and clicking all there is to click or you can just skim and hone in on the parts you find interesting.
I think they are interesting concepts, but will only be relevant to a niche group of people who are interested in multimedia. I do not think it could work with a mainstream show like American Horror Story, for example, because there are far more people that like to have TV served to them as expected than have to go seek out and interact with a show on their own volition.
The idea behind an interactive transmedia film is that it gives the audience a chance to feel involved in the conception of the story. The audience member is fully engaged and feels responsible in a sense for the given outcome of the story. The premise of HBO's Voyeur is to give the audience an inside look as to what can be occurring behind closed doors. Though fiction, the stories told are not far-fetched from real life events that occur on a daily basis in cities across the country. The premise of High Rise, the documentary is similar to the premise of HBO's Voyeur, as it gives the audience an inside look into a person's life. However, High Rise focuses on real people and a certain issue they are working and living through. Both High Rise and HBO's Voyeur have the ability to choose whose story you want to be a part of, and choose your own route throughout the city in the story. I thought both projects were extremely cool. I feel like having the interactive element of the story makes me feel more invested, makes the story more memorable, and overall connects me as a reader or viewer with the characters in the story.
ReplyDeletein my opinion, the idea behind an interactive transmedia film is to bring the same narrative content into different forms of media. The premise of HBO's Voyeaur is creating theatrical experience from the real world into the virtual screen, which seems interactive and related to real life. The premise of high Rise is to document the process of world's urbanization. However, the project not only gives away information like in traditional media, it adapts innovative media to lead and drive audience into a visual and interactive project. Both High Rise and HBO's Vayeur let audiences interact with the screen and discover in their own way, but in the created world on screen. Personally, I found that both projects are very interesting because it combines interactive elements and transmedia film to attract viewers's attention, and let them be curious to continue discovering the project instead of boring traditional media. Especially, I really like the High Rise documentary. It is such a great way to bring interesting and important information to people and keep audience visiting with full interest in it.
