New semester, new classes and with that a new twist to this blog.
One of the classes I am taking this semester is Contemporary trends in nonfiction
And a new requirements:
- create a blog <check>
- post every week <this is the new twist to this blog>
So with this requirement, now I will be blogging weekly.
Well everyone reading this, yes you: the hordes of readers, you can expect more regular updates. How great is that?
Enjoy.
And I will enjoy learning and exploring more about the new buzz trend: TRANSMEDIA
but first I will need to teach my spellchecker to recognize this new word it is after all quite new buzzword, created in 2006 by Henry Jenkins
So what is it? you can read a wiki page on Transmedia_storytelling or check my “easter egg” in previous paragraph. Or check out this slide show:
Even Sundance Institute embraced transmedia and announced launch of a New Frontier Story Lab last year.
This summer POV announced it’s fist hackathon, pairing documentary filmmakers with expert web developers in order to re-invent the documentary for the web in 36 hours? The second hackathon is happening right now.
Stay tuned. obviously more is to come on a weekly basis.
