In our project Dear X, we try to explore the how the fictional story attracts the audience to participate through trans-media platform.
Overall, we changed the primary platform for our project Dear X, and now the primary platform is an interactive website which created by Klynt. During the WIP presentation, we presented the pre-production work we have done, the shooting and post-production process, and how we create the interactive website. Furthermore, we showed the interactive site to tutor and classmates, they all think the website is quite interactive and exciting. The different video will be played by clicking different items in the room, and we made the button which the user can go to the character’s social media directly on each page to have further participation. And the tutor and classmates, they all like the selfie video on the website, it makes the audience more immersive and full of the sense of participation. Therefore, we will add more selfie video of character in the future.
And next, we will finish all post-production work in two weeks including renting a host to make the website public. And then keep posting the Twitter posts to develop the story and engage the audience.
