Alex Kane: '“Today’s most innovative artists are always looking for new ways to push boundaries, with their music and their means of connecting with fans,” says [Lucas] Wilson. “[...] We’re used to going to concerts, but very few of us have actually been on stage. We’ve grown accustomed to hearing from our favorite artists on social media, but rarely do those words come directly from their mouths. VR is changing all that. It’s the most personal way of connecting with your fans.”'

Goed om te weten als je een Snapchat verhaal wilt maken. Zeker als je - zoals ik - er net mee begint. ;-)

Sickhouse - the first SnapChat-based film--brought to mind Blair Witch Project. Both are revolutionary in their use of media to capture authenticity, breaking the fourth wall, and capturing the audience's imagination by fiddling with reality vs. fiction. Using SnapChat is a clever device to make the film timely and raw.
First adopters always have the advantage of challenging the audience's existing mental models about where and how reality ends and fiction begins. This is a nice metaphor for social technologies as an extension of the social space rather than "some other place." It is exactly that understanding that made the initial launch so powerful.
SnapChat also demands a 'Heminwayesqe' brevity and succinctness to scene construction, especially in real time. Creating a horror film is a bit of a cheat as all that heightened anxiety increases the "need to know" among the audience that encourages following the story through. Nevertheless, with so many moving parts, it makes sense to use a genre with wide socioemotional appeal.
The irony is that it didn't all disappear in the SnapChat way, and thus challenges how we understand SnapChat as well. I have wondered for some time, given the creativity that SnapChat unleashes, how long people will be willing to just let their mini-artworks go into the ether. When we create, it is part of us. We have a long history of documenting acts of creativity because it is how we share our most human qualities.

Snapchat movie Sickhouse was a real success. "Everyone was hooked. People trust that what they are seeing on their snap stories is real", said he director Hannah Macpherson. One key was to cast a protagonist who already was a social media pop star (Andrea Russett). She posted the videos from her own account.

For those of you who believed the written word was dead, not so fast! The unending appetite for good stories and Wattpad as a vehicle for storytellers (think YouTube for readers) provides an obvious entry point for marketers who can craft compelling brand narratives. The value of storytelling in text is that is that it lets the reader supply the visual storyworld through their imagination, instantly turning them into stakeholders. |

A group of researchers, from the University of Vermont and the University of Adelaide collected computer-generated story arcs for nearly 2,000 works of fiction, classifying each into one of six core types of narratives (based on what happens to the protagonist).
