Nicole LaPorte: "Having established itself as a critical part of movie-marketing campaigns, Wattpad is now looking to produce its own entertainment."

Dr. Pamela Rutledge's curator insight, June 15, 2016 12:56 PM

For those of you who believed the written word was dead, not so fast! The unending appetite for good stories and Wattpad as a vehicle for storytellers (think YouTube for readers) provides an obvious entry point for marketers who can craft compelling brand narratives. The value of storytelling in text is that is that it lets the reader supply the visual storyworld through their imagination, instantly turning them into stakeholders.

Tom Cheredar: "With the growing number of digital distractions vying for the attention of your kids, reading books might seem far less appealing. Interactive books can bridge the gap, and some of them are having real success."

For me this looks more like multimedia than transmedia. Still waiting for Alice in Wonderland with Google Glasses where I play Alice (or Alex...)

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:

Paula Bernstein: "Usually moviegoers are instructed to turn off their smartphones while watching a film, but with "App," the new Dutch thriller directed by Bobby Boermans, viewers are encouraged to keep their phones on in order to experience the second-screen content."

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's curator insight, February 19, 2014 5:14 AM

Usually moviegoers are instructed to turn off their smartphones while watching a film, but with "App," the new Dutch thriller directed by Bobby Boermans, viewers are encouraged to keep their phones on in order to experience the second-screen content.

As the first film made with the intentional inclusion of content on a second, mobile screen, "App" relies on an app, IRIS, which is equipped with sonic technology that triggers additional content during the movie.

Though it's not required for viewing the movie, using the second screen adds layers to the big-screen narrative.

The audience will be advised to leave their devices on their laps while watching the film. When there is additional content available on the second screen, their devices will vibrate.

Прикольно, для того, чтобы открыть на iPad новый кусочек истории, читателю надо физически оказаться в том или ином месте. Интересно, что же это за история должна быть такая, чтобы так напрягаться...
