Cross media - Crossmedia and transmedia

1 Starting from the prefix cross-, there is the indication of movement, of action

across something, and the idea of intersection. Hence, the word cross-media would carry on the essential meaning of a variety of media that intersect each other. Given that this could describe crossmedia

as well as transmedia it could create some confusion. According to scientists

they can be distinguished as follows:

Cross media - Crossmedia and transmedia

1 There are several characteristics that can be traced to the term transmedia, such as being

a kind of communication in which the storyline interacts with the audience from

one medium to the next; the ability to build content over a variety of media; and the

capability to exist not just by the juxtaposition of different devices and

platforms, but to spread the common goal on the different platforms throughout an

integrated production.

Transmediation

1 'Transmediation' is the process of translating a work into a different

medium. It may utilize more than one media form. All the components of a transmediated work are interlinked with each other to form the whole network. Therefore, transmediated

works are closely linked to semiotics and technology in the context of

digital media.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-transmedia-toolkit.html

Page 12: Transmedia

Transmediation

1 'Transmediation' can refer to the process of responding to cultural texts in a range of sign systems -- art, movement, sculpture,

dance, music, and so on -- as well as in words.

[http://www.readingonline.org/newliteracies/semali2/ Semali and Fueyo] Transmediation can include response to traditional printed

texts, as well as multimedia materials including video, animation, a website, a

podcast, a game, etc.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-transmedia-toolkit.html

Page 13: Transmedia

Transmediation

1 We live in a mediacentric society filled with many affective sign

systems. Transmediation can also be conceived of as multimedia communication and literacy

activities. When people engage as consumers or producers of media in

any form, they are engaging in transmediation.

Transmediation

1 Transmediation is closely linked to semiotics, which is the impact study of signs. Academic researchers and

educators interested in transmediation are often also

interested in media literacy, visual literacy, information literacy, and

critical literacy.

Leonard Shlain] highlights the importance of engaging students in the process of transmediation when writing,

Digital information comes in multiple forms, and students must learn to tell

stories not just with words and numbers but also through images, graphics, color,

sound, music, and dance

Transmedia

1 'Transmedia storytelling' (also known as 'transmedia narrative' or

'multiplatform storytelling') is the technique of storytelling|telling a single story or story experience across multiple platforms and formats using current digital

technologies. It is not to be confused with traditional cross-platform media franchises, sequels or adaptations.

Transmedia

1 From a production standpoint, it involves creating content that engages an audience using various techniques to permeate their

daily lives. In order to achieve this engagement, a transmedia production will develop stories across multiple forms of

media in order to deliver unique pieces of content in each channel. Importantly, these

pieces of content are not only linked together (overtly or subtly), but are in narrative

synchronization with each other.

Transmedia - History

1 By the 1970s and 1980s, pioneering artists of telematic art made

experiments of collective narrative, mixing the ancestors of today's

networks, and produced both visions and critical theories of what became

transmedia.

Transmedia - Current State

1 In 'Digital State: How the internet is changing everything' (2013), author Simon

Pont argues that transmedia storytelling is a theory that is at last starting to find its

practical stride. Pont cites Ridley Scott's Alien (film)|Alien prequel Prometheus (film)|

Prometheus (2012), and specifically the three viral films produced by 20th Century

Fox as part of the advance global marketing campaign, as vivid executional examples of

transmedia storytelling theory.

1 In 'Ball Flint: transmedia in 90 seconds' (2013), Pont likens

transmedia story-telling to throwing a piece of flint at an old stone wall

and delighting in the ricochet, making story something you can now

be hit by and cut by.[http://www.browse.lt/video.search/0/video/Simon%20Pont/RYUoYwJmhz

Transmedia - Educational Uses

1 Transmedia theory, applied to a movie launch, is all about promoting

the story, not the ‘due date of a movie starring...’ In an industry built

on the conventions of ‘stars sell movies’, where their name sits above the film’s title, transmedia thinking is

anti-conventional and boldly purist
