This document discusses cross-platform storytelling and provides tips for crafting narratives across different mediums. It defines what a story is and explains that our brains are wired for narrative construction, not segregating stories by platform. The first rule of storytelling is to know your story - understand what you want to say, who is speaking, who the audience is, and how you will tell the story. It then provides examples like an interactive children's book series and an experience about cyberwarfare told through a website, documentary, novel, and other forms to keep audiences engaged.

An insiders guide to cross-platform storytelling

sto·ry [stohr-ee]

1. a narrative, either true or fictitious, designed to interest, amuse, or
instruct.
SOME DEFINITIONS

Set in an old theatre with a total of seven ﬂoors, Kapital is Madrid’s mega nighclub, catering to a mix of tourists and locals alike. Boasting a main dance-ﬂoor, an
R&B room, a cinema and even a merchandise shop, the club offers a host of different musical styles to satisfy every customer. They regularly have different
theme nights and sessions, including an early evening session for teenagers.!
!
The ﬁrst ﬂoor is Kapital's largest dance space, which plays house music and regularly features go-go dancers. The second ﬂoor is where the karaoke happens
and the third ﬂoor has the hip-hop dance space. The fourth ﬂoor has a bar area and ﬁfth ﬂoor the pop music dance ﬂoor. The sixth ﬂoor is dedicated to chill out
with chairs and ﬁlms playing while the top ﬂoor really comes into its own come the summer, when a retractable roof reveals the night sky. While something of a
commercial venue, it's still failsafe for a good night out - just try not to get lost in there.

HOW YOUNGER AUDIENCES REACT TO TRANSMEDIA CONTENT Nuno Bernardo, Ceo Beactive, Portugal Nuno Bernardo is the creator of Sofia’s Diary, Aisling's Diary and Bia & Fred Around the World, Transmedia properties that used a multiplicity of medias and platforms to engage an audience around an entertainment brand. Adapted locally in 10 territories and the first on-line show to cross to TV in EVENT PROGRAMME 14 15 the UK, Sofia’s Diary is a perfect example of how younger audiences respond to the new paradigm of the entertainment industry: media is more social, fragmentation of audiences, multiple medias, content distributed on-demand vs a traditional linear approach. We will focus on the importance of the community and the perception of “content ownership” and “content sharing” by younger audiences. Nuno will also show case some of his latest projects and share some success and failure stories about how to use the Internet, games, social media and mobile devices in sync with a TV show to engage younger audiences around an entertainment brand.

Of course it’s exciting when people offer you money to make your project, but in this fragmented world of cross-platform production, more often than not, you will be working with several funders, in different territories, for a variety of audiences, on many platforms, over extended periods of time. This cautionary tale uses case studies and personal experience to highlight the potential pitfalls of working on a large-scale cross-platform production and aims to provide strategies for creating a story-world that covers all the bases whilst keeping true to the heart of the project.

In the rapidly changing landscape between technology, art and entertainment, storytellers must begin to apply new strategies to integrate their narratives across an increasingly complex system. This lecture will better define key areas in narrative design such as story engine, user engagement, socialisation and immersion. It will lay out basic principles and challenges in creating these new narrative experiences.

Well, not really. But if you want to be truly independent in your art and craft, you need to establish a business model that works for you and your company. Even in a world where audiences spend more time online than watching TV, financing digital and cross-media content is still a challenge. The entertainment industry is still organised in a silo structure and new, experimental and creative projects struggle to get the necessary funding. To succeed producing cross-media you need to understand the limitations and the opportunities available, from searching for available funding at the right places, to combining traditional and new sources of financing and working with brands and advertisers, without ever forgetting the potential international market. In the last decade, Nuno Bernardo was able to finance and produce iconic cross-media projects, from Sofia’s Diary to Beat Girl, that got awards and recognition but also generated the important revenues.

There’s so much a producer can do these days: create, finance, promote and distribute content across multiple platforms, media and channels. No longer do you have to rely on someone else’s ‘shop window’ to get your content seen. But in doing so we have to take responsibility for finding, connecting and activating audiences. Understanding context is key. It helps make content more engaging and relevant; it helps you weave your output into the lives of your users. However, it’s easy to paint a rosy picture of their attitude towards our offerings and the quality of the experience we provide. Mapping user journeys is a great way of realising the potential of your output reaching its intended audience. But how do we map the journey without turning it into a fairy tale?

Nick Fortugno looks at the way in which games and gameplay can be used to extend, monetise, and even incubate brands and stories. By looking at successful examples of transmedia that incorporate play into their storyworlds, Nick discusses how games create aesthetics and how that practice can be applied to larger brand strategies. From there, the talk explores how gameplay can fit into a larger transmedial strategy in a number of rules, from expanding the story’s access to new audiences to serving as an experimental platform for brand-new story properties.

We spend our time in digital, but the reality is that we’re all still struggling to make a living out of it. Where does the money come from, how is this structured, who can you talk to and what do you need to know? This session will take apart a successful commercial digital project (Sherlock: The Network) and look at where the money came from. We’ll then look at all the other funding options, from advertising to sponsorship to merchandise to subscriptions to affiliate revenue to app sales. We’ll look at the differences for factual versus fiction; games versus experiences; mobile versus web. Along the way we’ll touch on YOUR project and look to see what models might work for your cross-platform concepts.

The publishing industry is going through massive disruption. The Big Six have become the Big Five – and Nielsen data shows that the global book market is decreasing year-on-year despite the tremendous growth of e-books. But it’s not all gloom and doom! There are success stories. Children’s publishing is exploding. And pockets of innovation, both in traditional publishing houses as well as in start-ups that are less a year old, are redefining what it means to be a book publisher. Format is no longer as important as story, and many publishers are actively looking to commission stories that span media platforms. Publishing professional Eric Huang leads us through a recent history of the industry to uncover the innovations springing up around the world. What sort of stories is the modern publisher looking for? What is the best way to approach them?
