Transmedia Next is an advanced training programme aimed at experienced media professionals in the art, craft and business of storytelling in the 21st century.
Transmedia is an exploding industry.
Fast gaining mainstream recognition, transmedia stories unleash new creative opportunities and offer a range of alternative revenue streams compared to single platform media. Transmedia stories are stories that take place across multiple media, are social, and often allow the audience to directly participate in the storytelling experience. They can be large scale, complex, global franchises or subtle, nuanced immersive experiences. In practice, transmedia can be used both as a creative technique for story extension and as a marketing tool to reach a broader, more diversified, audience.
Transmedia storytelling demands new production strategies and networks and Transmedia Next delivers best practice methodologies and top class networking opportunities to help you become a leader in this emerging field. All of our Instructors are working practitioners and the curriculum has been carefully designed to maximise learning through a combination of theory and hands-on exercises. In this diverse, playful atmosphere, participants report being both entertained and enlightened.
Transmedia Next enables you to position yourself at the forefront of the transmedia industry.
