Overview of class

Transmedia narratives invite us to step into the story and lose the edge of the frame, breaking through the fourth wall and all the principles we have created for cinema. In this course, we will experience, discuss, and create immersive narratives that blend the elements of performance art, digital storytelling, interactive narrative, audio storytelling, and installation art. We will look at how this affects character, plot, dramatic action, and all other elements of story. We will focus on how stories are redefined, shaped, and shared in the age of profound digital transformation.
