Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

The funny part here, besides Abrams trying to indirectly blame the whole debacle on Paramount (much easier now that he's jumped ship to Disney and Star Wars), is that he thinks revealing Khan would have somehow twisted the marketing of the movie to be solely for fans. That's nonsense.

The 7 Literacies of Transmedia Storytelling | Machinimania | Scoop.it

Via The Digital Rocking Chair
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

In transmedia storytelling, narrative is central to the story, which is told across multiple platforms, and may include sound, images, text, movie and gaming elements. The best part about it is that each of those elements plays an integral part of the narrative. And without experiencing all of those elements, you miss the full story. That’s what makes transmedia storytelling a powerful tool for 21st century literacy and learning.
