This week it was time to get into groups and start planning our transmedia story or campaign. My group consists of me, Elicia Powell and Gemma Blaney. I felt that this was a good group because we are close friends so there would be a mutual understanding of how we all work together and no judging or communication issues. Over the past two years I have made a conscious effort to not go with friends all the time as I felt that it was important to go with a variety of new people so that I could develop my teamwork and communication skills and I felt that I have done this successfully.
We have decided to go down the route of transmedia storytelling because we wanted the chance to experiment more with different types of media and felt that we would have a bigger opportunity to do this by creating a fictional story. We brainstormed ideas initially using methods that we learnt from the first year module 'Creativity and Concepts'. I've found these methods to be extremely effective within idea generation and know that I now carry these with me throughout all my life.
Prospective ideas that we came up with include:
-A girl gets trapped in an attic
-Teenagers take a new drug and it mutates them in some way
-A haunting ghost story
Next week we will make a more complexed plan of our story and plan all the different platforms that we are going to use.
