The end of Story Lab is here! What an interesting experience it has been.
First of all, I just want to say a big thank you to Dan, for being such an awesome teacher! I really did enjoy this media lab and I appreciate the hard work Dan put into it!
When I first enrolled into this subject, my impression was that it would be more focused on screenwriting even though I don’t think it said anything remotely like that in the course description…that was just me jumping to conclusions.
But I liked how it actually turned out to be! The concept of transmedia storytelling is really fascinating to me and I definitely feel I have a much better understanding of the theories behind in looking back at the end of the semester.
The group project was a really fun (and also tiring) experience. I am very grateful that my group happened to be full of such awesome people! I don’t think I would have survived if I didn’t along with my team members as well as we all did with this project, everyone in the group really needed to be a team player in order to pull it off and I think we worked great as a team. I hope it was the same experience for the rest of my classmates!
The amount of work outside of class was more than I expected but like I said in a previous post, that was mostly my persuasion to make my group members meet outside of class (which I know alot of students are very hesitant to do) but being the awesome people they are, they were always happen to work on it! and we always had snacks and lollies, who doesn’t love snacks and lollies!
I think another thing that was very lucky about our group is that we were all on the same page, in terms of humor and creativity. So we were able to collaborate really well in the ideas process.
I think our transmedia project was creative and is very relevant to todays society of social media addicts. The actually process of telling the narrative was like I said, pretty tiring, but an interesting experience. And it was pretty fun creating a fake ‘real’ person online. I hope the story is as enjoyable as we set out for it to be. I am looking forward to hearing the feedback.
I think what I will be able to take away from The Story Lab is a new way to look at marketing screen projects and captivating audiences. Who knows what I will work on in the future but I think I will definitely be able to look at in a new perspective.
Overall I really enjoyed The Story Lab! Thanks again Dan!
