- 5. What is a Transmedia Narrative?
- 6. Transmedia Storytelling “ A transmedia story unfolds across multiple media platforms, with each new element making a distinctive and valuable contribution to the whole. Ideally, each medium makes it own unique contribution to the unfolding of the story. ” Henry Jenkins in “Convergence Culture” (2006 )
- 11. Contemporary transmedia storytellers like the Wachowski Brothers* or Joss Whedon** are telling stories that were designed from the start as cross-media narratives, and are deliberately taking advantage of the strengths of each media type to enrich each project. *The Matrix, V for Vendetta **X-Men, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Toy Story, The Office

- 13. Media conglomerates Generate revenue streams for their various companies headquarters
- 14. “ When I first started, you would pitch a story because without a a good story you didn’t really have a film. Later, once sequels started to take-off, you pitched a character because a good character could support multiple stories. And now, you pitch a world because a world can support multiple characters and multiple stories across multiple media.” Hollywood scriptwriter cited by Jenkins in “Convergence Culture” (2006 p.114)

- 19. People have become so comfortable with media technology that they seem to flow from one platform to the next. The problem is that their content is not flowing with them. As a discipline, Transmedia provides a foundation for the development, production and rollout of entertainment properties or consumer brands across all of these platforms. Transmedia creates the flow. As a mass audience we’re too savvy and too impatient to experience the same content over and over again. There’s too much out there to enjoy…

- 22. An early example of transmedia narrative…
- 26. By creating a world, with different stories happening in different media, it’s inevitable that not everyone will have the same experience. Is it a love story? (Keanu Reeves said so) Is it “a titanic struggle between intuition and controlling intellect”? (Hugo Weaving, aka Agent Smith) Is it a story about believing in something or not believing in something? Is it a story about secret societies keeping society under control? Is it a story about men’s history or men’s future? Is it just an enhanced Kung Fu movie? The Matrix

- 31. SLICE "Oh I've been a bad girl, a very bad girl..." Lisa (Slice to her friends) has moved to London with her parents to separate her from 'bad influences'. Coming from the US, Slice is immediately intrigued by the creepy old house they move into. But are her suspicions that the house is haunted well-founded, or is it her teenage over-imagination at work? Over four days, starting on Tuesday 25th March and ending on Friday, you could follow Slice's story on her own weblog and her parents. If you wanted to get even more immersed, you couldalso email the characters and follow them through text messages on Twitter.

- 36. Audi A3: “Art of the H3ist” THE STORY revolved around Nisha Roberts and Ian Yarbrough, and their art retrieval business. The majority of the plot involved the attempts of Nisha, Ian, the players, and Nisha's video game designer friend, Virgil to stop the world's greatest art heist. Early in the game, a security camera recording was discovered which showed a shadowy villain stashing pieces of information inside 6 different Audi A3 cars. The cars, throughout the course of the game, were all tracked down, and infiltrated by the Retrievers, to get back the information hidden in them. By piecing together the whole of all data found in all cars, the full scope of the Big Art Heist was revealed.

Hinweis der Redaktion
- "TRANSMEDIA NARRATIVES: FACT OR FICTION? We've been talking about this phrase for some time but what does it really mean (if anything)? 2010 is the year Transmedia hits the big time (according to The Times, see pic below) Whatever you choose to call it, Hollywood film studios, digital businesses and some forward-thinking agencies are extremely interested to see how different channels can be best combined to tell a compelling story in the age of participation. As stimulus, there will be a short presentation drawing on examples including The Matrix, Heroes, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Audi A3, Penguin Books and more... Then we'll talk about how we can use this."
- Transmedia - has gone into mainstream press, this from The Times (UK)
- 1. Transmedia storytelling represents a process where integral elements of a fiction get dispersed systematically across multiple delivery channels for the purpose of creating a unified and coordinated entertainment experience. Ideally, each medium makes it own unique contribution to the unfolding of the story. So, for example, in The Matrix franchise, key bits of information are conveyed through three live action films, a series of animated shorts, two collections of comic book stories, and several video games. There is no one single source or ur-text where one can turn to gain all of the information needed to comprehend the Matrix universe.

- Contemporary transmedia storytellers like the Wachowski Brothers or Joss Whedon are telling stories that were designed from the start as cross-media narratives, and are deliberately taking advantage of the strengths of each media type to enrich each project. The Enter the Matrix video game, for example, wasn’t created just as a cheap grab for more money but as an actual chapter in the larger narrative of The Matrix, and the second and third Matrix films only truly made sense if you’d played the video game.
- The matrix is a lot more than the film: short animations, games, comic books
- The person that is really deep into the story will have a different experience than “Joe Popcorn”. The latter, however, may feel lost in middle of so much information

- The story The story revolved around Nisha Roberts and Ian Yarbrough, and their art retrieval business, Last Resort Retrieval. The majority of the plot involved the attempts of Nisha, Ian, the players, and Nisha's video game designer friend, Virgil in trying to stop the world's greatest art heist. Ian and Nisha, specifically, were hot on the tracks of a very coordinated theft team, which was led by a person who was initially identified only as Arclight. Arclight was organizing theft timetables, commissioning forged replicas, doing reconnaissance work, and hiring all manner of unruly assistants for the big heist. Virgil seemed to be the main suspect throughout much of the game, due to his odd behaviour and lousy attitude. Early in the game, a security camera recording was discovered which showed a shadowy villain stashing pieces of information inside 6 different Audi A3 cars. The cars, throughout the course of the game, were all tracked down, and infiltrated by the Retrievers, to get back the information hidden in them. By piecing together the whole of all data found in all cars, the full scope of the Big Art Heist was revealed.
- The idea was basically to create Gotham in real-time from the end of Batman Begins right up until the beginning of The Dark Knight . A year and a half out you have the opportunity to explore the characters, the strong themes. Those were punctuated by activities that "eventize" the web, like Comic-Con , like the first image of the Joker revealed , or the ringing cakes or campaigning for Harvey Dent or the scavenger hunt to get to go see the third trailer.
- At the San Diego Comic-Con, "Jokerized" $1 bills are found that lead to Whysoserious.com , a page advertising for jobs as Joker henchmen. The page includes coordinates to a location near the convention center and a countdown clock set to go off the next morning at 10am. July 27, 2007 - Hundreds gather at the time and place listed on Whysoserious.com . At 10am, a phone number is written in the sky, launching the game. Collaborating with friends online, the assembled crowd (now wearing Joker face paint) is sent on a scavenger hunt throughout the city. After solving all the clues, a fan was selected to be abducted and killed in place of the Joker. The participants at San Diego were given clown masks as a reward, while online players were rewarded with the first teaser trailer for The Dark Knight . July 30, 2007 - Whysoserious.com is shut down and replaced with Rent-a-clown.com , a clown rental company whose "employees" are the fans from Whysoserious.com . The page contains the message "made you look" hidden in its source code.
