Transmedia Storytelling
Transmedia storytelling is the process of conveying messages, themes of storylines to a mass audience through the artful and well-planned use of multiple media platforms.
The team at toddstreet explored ways to break the 4th wall through cross-platform storytelling. In order to put this into a scientific framework, I created a series of touchpoint maps using Project Prometheus and Dark Knight's transmedia campaigns to show how stories can be told and "activated" in different ways in order to engage audiences.
What are the key opportunities for this type of story reveal?
- You can leverage properties to create a comprehensive experience on multiple platforms
- Allows you to engage viewers outside of digital in order to build loyalty and drive to other content forms
- Enables you to create frameworks/roadmaps to activate across multiple properties, and re-apply the science each time
- Breaks the barriers between fantasy and reality
