The Web: Headliner Or TV’s Supporting Actor?

The Web: Headliner Or TV’s Supporting Actor? | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Chuck Fishman:  "Today’s TV viewer doesn’t just watch TV anymore — they scroll through Twitter and Facebook in real time, watch YouTube Videos, send Snapchats and pin to Pinterest boards."

Minna Kilpeläinen's curator insight, March 1, 2015 4:12 PM

A 2014 Nielsen Digital Consumer Report 
said that 84 percent of U.S. smartphone and 
tablet owners watch television with a second screen in hand. Second screen action is definitely something networks should explore and figure out how to engage viewers to their content. Question is, how do networks and other media  companies build interactive web platforms for today’s viewers?


Chuck Fishman says that to date, networks’ attempts at creating second-screen experiences  haven’t consistently taken off.

Second screen action often happens on social channels that
networks don’t own, and therefore can’t control, but they do
have the ability to capture and amplify what’s happening.

 

Fishman suggests that one  way media companies could approach the  second screen is to create original and exclusive
digital video content that  stands apart from linear broadcast programming. That means focusing strongly on transmedia storytelling. Media concepts no longer contain only tv-programmes, you have to produce a multiplatform experience from the beginning.

Coping with the loss of an online world

Coping with the loss of an online world | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Heather Kelly:  "The closing of an online virtual game may sound trivial to anyone who has never used or visited one, but to the people who spent a chunk of their formative years forging relationships inside their virtual walls, the loss can be huge."

Amber Judge's curator insight, September 2, 2013 11:08 AM

Another ethical issue here: If you provide an alternate world in which someone can build their identity, make friends they otherwise wouldn't in the real world and they've spent money on virtual items and then take it all away because the world collapses... What's the ethical actions a company should take to ensure the health and well-being of those people? I mean surely there must be some liability?

Ted Hope:  "Filmmakers, Hollywood, The Industry, rarely know whom their audience is. We do it so ass-backwards: we make a movie and we think it is so wonderful that people all over the world will come to see it. Wouldn’t it be a hell of a lot easier ifall we did was take our movies where people are already gathered?"

Frank Rose:  "It's never been easy to market an indie film—but in a blockbuster universe, getting people to care about a low-budget production devoid of stars and lacking the enormous, built-in fan base of The Dark Knight or The Hunger Games can seem all but impossible."

Bart van Maanen's curator insight, May 25, 2013 4:28 AM

Het promoten van 'kleine', onafhankelijk geproduceerde films is vaak moeilijk. Hier een schets van een andere weg naar een groter publiek. Productie en promotie van films kunnen door internet en IP tv sowieso niet meer op de oude manier.
