This class will explore the possibilities of "transmedia storytelling," a new term that describes how we are increasingly telling stories and building worlds across media. The first half of the course will look at several case studies to understand recent cultural and creative practices across film, television, videogames, comics, and the web. The second half will be dedicated to a "story jam," where you will form into smaller groups to develop your own transmedia extension for an existing franchise. Want to film a fake documentary on Bruce Wayne's Wayne Industries? Or create a graphic novel about a previous year of the Hunger Games? This is your chance to brainstorm and get started!
