In all honesty todays lesson on transmedia storytelling really highlighted my geek.
It IS a niche market. No doubt. But as when a film falls into this category for me I find myself drawn to the need for the whole story. It works wonders as a marketing tool when it works. The big question is differentiating between marketing ploys and the real deal.
I believe on some level we all find some kind of enjoyment in it, regardless of how much. As a niche it will go on, but I believe it is something that has become subliminally popular.
I think the good thing about Transmedia stories is that you can go as deep with your research as you choose. Or, you can choose not to dig any deeper at all.
ReplyDeleteBeing able to dig deep within a story is important as a fan as it allows us to have some type of control of what we know. But I do agree with Zach on the fact that when it comes to films I do like to and want to know the whole complete story because that way I can be even more involved into the film and feel part of it more.
