In this module we will be choosing from a selection of questions posed by different companies or organisations that guest lecture our class. this particular organisation is Digital Fiction Factory. They work with many major TV and media providers to create multi-platform storytelling.
This is how they describe them selves on their website:
"The Digital Fiction Factory is a creative partnership between the BBC, Channel 4, Creative England and Conker Media. Conker Media is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lime Pictures and part of the All3Media Group. The BAFTA, Rose d'Or, Emmy-nominated and RTS and double-BANFF winning Conker Media team have played a leading role in the development of multi-layered storytelling in the UK; the achievements of which have been recognised internationally."
Digital Fiction Factory's aim is get the audience completely involved with the show, accessing content and adding their own from media such as the web, twitter and mobile apps. They want people to feel as though they are a member of an exclusive club. People are becoming producers which could be considered as a positive or negative for the media industry.
The question that they asked was:
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?
I think that the question surrounds a very topical subject, as people are becoming more directly involved with their favorite shows and also news channels have begun to ask and accept video content from viewers as they are quicker and cheaper than sending out a camera crew.I think that this is an interesting topic and something that I will definitely research on a personal as well as academic level.
