New Media Day: Interactive storytelling
Friday November 5th / 9.30 – 12.30 and 14.00 – 17.30 / Uptown, in the “Rive” room

Using case studies of several video games and interactive features, the goal of the day’s discussions is to encourage the exchanging of different kinds of expertise, between professionals familiar with traditional screenwriting, linear audiovisual creativity, and new auteurs involved in the interactive communication market.
Themes:

Participatory narrative: the active role of the vi-user (viewer + user) in interactive storytelling
The video game experience: creators present their recent work and talk about the job of writing in this genre
To write a text or create a world: dialogue between classic screewriters and developers of narrative video games
Production and narration strategy: analysis of concrete case studies in new interactive fiction formats
Social Networks: across different examples and accounts, an analysis of the influence of social networks and methods of consumption, marketing and creating fiction

Transmedia Storytelling Unveiled

The television audience is changing from merely connected to participative. As Rupert Murdoch said, people want to control their media, not be controlled by it. As Henry Jenkins (MIT) said : “in the erea of convergence, consumers become hunters and gatherers pulling info from multiple sources to form a new synthesis”

Nicoletta Lacobacci from European Broadcasting Union announces a paradigm shift : a movie isn’t a story anymore, it is a situation, a plateform regardless of the media. We, the audience, are the story.
Participarory TV, Crossor transmedia is a story that is not replicated onto multiple plateform but that is concieved to do so. It is pervasive. The users do it themseves, therefore it reaches them more deeply.
