Emotion, emotion, emotion....... if it helps stories go viral, then that endorses what advertisers have known for a while.

Maybe a tad too complex for our young students, but still a nice way of understanding the foundations of storytelling!!

Seven steps to the perfect story is a great visual representation of how to build a story. This clearly explains the process of how students can construct their narrative and the types of characters they will use. I would definitely use this in my classroom to help students understand the process of creating a narrative.

...and hear we go again, something I said a while ago: why are we calling it so many buzzwords when in realities it multimedia, at least that's where is started and in that it defines it more completely on so many levels!

Very cool! Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey illustrated with Lego figures. (Starts fully at slide 6.)

Strange to tell Joseph Campbell's Hero With A Thousand Faces with Lego characters but it flies by faster chan Campbell.

Could this 65 slide deck have saved me plowing through Joseph Campbell's Hero With A Thosand Faces? Not really, but its fun and flies by providing ADD insight into the basis of all stories.

Simon Staffans: "[...] I’m quite convinced that a well crafted story, standing on the foundation of a thoroughly thought-out and fleshed-out story world, filled with engaging points, calls to action, smaller arcs within the larger arcs… that such a story can accomplish almost anything you would want it to do, especially targeted in the right way and on the right media platforms to reach a well-researched target audience."

Siobhan O'Flynn looks at why successful transmedia projects don't have to start with the story ... they can start with the audience. Siobhan O'Flynn: "Although I can think of numerous examples where ‘story first’ was the design principle to follow, particularly for documentary and/or more art house projects (think ARTE, NFB), in this instance [Ruby Skye P.I.] in a more mainstream, commercial space Jill’s audience first engagement strategy is now a stand-out winner by all metrics of success."

That day, as Erwin scanned Reddit, a question caught his eye. It was posed by someone calling themselves The_Quiet_Earth: “Could I destroy the entire Roman Empire during the reign of Augustus if I traveled back in time with a modern U.S. Marine infantry battalion or MEU [Marine Expeditionary Unit]?” Erwin clicked on the question and a lively comment thread unfurled. DRC: A "blow by blow" account of the Hollywood Dream. It makes a great read. "James Erwin, 37, [used to work] for a financial services firm in Des Moines, Iowa, writing software manuals."

But a stand-alone film, these days, works against the nature of modern media, with its vortex of information, reaction and reassessment. New media actually invites the involvement of audience, rather than simply its attention. And this interaction has come to define the media landscape. Could documentaries form the permanent center in a changing tableau? Via Gary Hayes

Simon Staffans: "We have all heard the value of getting something to a viral stage and the need for either robust strategies for social media or an enormous amount of good luck to make that virality happen – most often a combination of the two is needed."
