The Story Lab – Week 10
As we continue to work on our transmedia story, it has become clear that in-depth planning is crucial to the success of the narrative. For our project, planning is key to make a truly engaging story as the entry point is through the clues and pieces of evidence uncovered by Atticus Barlow. To ensure everything fits together and the story makes sense, out group must meticulously plan every document and clue relevant to the case before we release it to an audience. This is made even more difficult by the fact that we cannot control how an audience will use and follow the narrative so we are attempting to create a story that lessens the possibility of a participant losing their way. This is a tricky maneuver to pull as we cannot spoon feed our audience of they will not be fully engaged and lose interested but if w make it too hard, the same thing may happen. That is why planning is so crucial as it creates a map of the narrative which can assist in any outcome to provide a backup in case something occurs outside of what is expected.
