We’ll look at examples such as The Avengers, The Matrix and Transformers - and put theory into practice, by retelling the popular fable, The Three Little Pigs, in a multiplatform format.
You’ll learn with Daniel H Byun - the film director also known as 변혁.
What topics will you cover?
Over four weeks, we’ll ask:
- What is transmedia storytelling? And how does it differ from related ideas like media convergence and one source multi use (OSMU)?
- How do the key elements of character, plot and setting create a memorable story?
- What can we learn from folklore and traditional narratives?
- And how is storytelling in the digital age different from previous forms?
