In this weeks Applied Media Research it was question time! We had to work out which groups would be doing which question and who was going to be in each group. Here are the three questions that we were given:
1. Digital Fiction Factory
The Internet, social media and other open systems have allowed for user generated content (UGC), crowd-sourcing and other forms of audience participation to prevail in digital media. But how do we translate these features into storytelling experiences, without treading on the toes of the author?
2. ONTECA
What new models are there for selling media? When people download so much media freely, what are people willing to pay for and how? What are and what can we learn from the best monetisation mechanics for Freemium games on mobile?
3. Nine Lives Media
Which are the three most successful ever examples of cross platform television programming, how did viewers participate and most importantly, what did they gain from the experience? (I would anticipate answers such as the London Olympics/Paralympics & Embarrassing Bodies)
We then had to order them into which one we would prefer to answer, 1 being the most and 3 being the least. I chose to give Nine Lives Media a 1, ONTECA a 2 and Digital Fiction Factory a 3.
We were then sorted into groups according to our preferences, I would have enjoyed doing both my 1 and 2 choices but luckily I got my first choice and even more luckily I was placed in a group with people that I like and work well with.
