Just read a very interesting blog by Robert Pattern about Transmedia storytelling where he once again states the importance of story world creation when creating a Transmedia narrative. In fact he puts puts story world creation in front of character narrative when looking to encourage audience participation. He also raises questions about how much of this story world is real and how much fiction.
This chimes with something that I was thinking last night about the SEER and the world she lives in. I realize that it is the creation of the "Heath " that is as important as the creation of SEER. If the heath is a real place that people can explore then the seer can become a truly transmedial story with audience participation driving the story!!!
I have started to work on this idea of creating the "Heath" with Kris my son and sound guy. Creating a virtual world in sound is one possible way forward. The idea of podcasts of the heath pirate radio station that can be down loaded by people accessing the sight, creating this idea of an area. Possible video tour of area !!! I am not sure but these are the questions that I am beginning to ask. Transmedia is more than simply telling a story across different media platforms it seems to be more the creation of a world within which different stories can be told and within which different media platforms provide access to that world.
