Why so serious?

Questions to consider when researching the viral campaign for The Dark Knight (2008)…

  • What is the ‘narrative’ of the campaign?
  • What role does the audience play?
  • How was the idea of the ‘remix’ and the ‘database’ employed here?
  • Make a list of as many artefacts/objects/’bits’ of the campaign as you can.
  • What role does each ‘bit’ play in the overall narrative?
  • How do you think the team went about planning this? Think logistics.
  • How does this campaign fit into the narrative of the film?

  • What elements of storytelling are being relied upon here?
  • To what level is the viewer an actor in this particular media object?
  • Is it the story or the plot that’s being told?
  • Have/has emoji altered the way we communicate?
  • What cultural customs does the emoji tap into – does it change those customs?

 

Welcome to The Story Lab!

Story is no longer a single-platform, linear phenomenon. Does a change within a medium – or a switch to multiple media – necessitate a change in the story itself?
