PRIMETIME TRANSMEDIA

Think of your favorite television show or series. Do some research and describe any transmedia elements associated with it. For instance, take a look at Downton Abbey's homepage and all that it offers. Does your chosen show have a fictional website? Do the characters have their own social media accounts? Can you participate in the story through the internet?

Client side

As we get ready to wrap up our IMC project, I'd like you to step into the role of the client you chose to represent. Make a list of 5 questions you (as the client) would like to ask the "advertising agency" (you as the student) who is presenting a campaign proposal next week.

Interactive Films

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?

Transmedia storytelling

Do you ever participate in a digital conversation when watching television or a movie? Can you think of an example of when you've done that? Or if you haven't, can you think of an example where you could digitally interact?

SOCIAL MEDIA AND YOUR FUTURE

For today's blog, take inventory of your life as portrayed on the internet. Have you ever googled your name? What kind of story are you telling through your social media profiles? Do you think your social media presence might affect your future, especially when it comes to employment? Why or why not? If so, what changes do you need to implement in order to create a more cohesive, intentional online story?

ALL ABOUT THAT PLOT

Think of the last movie or TV episode you watched and briefly describe its plot; in other words, the sequence of main events.

CAPTION THIS

As we discuss the creative process this week, let's get our creative wheels turning. As best as you can, caption this.
