Convergence Media

Multi-platform techniques

We were placed into groups of three for this work. I was put with two people who I have never been with before so was happy to get to know them as well as get on with the work. We were giving a list of Disney stories to choose from to create a story to make it more realistic and something that would sell today towards adults.
We chose snow white and the seven dwarfs and decided to put some sort of big brother twist onto it. We decided that the dwarfs would create video blogs of themselves talking about snow white and how she needs a man in her life!
This then resulted in three prince’s competing by different social networks to get people to vote for them and get snow white to themselves. Once they had pleaded for votes. The public would be allowed to have conversations with then and have hour long question and answers with them each night. Once a week was over the public would vote on which prince they wanted to rescue snow white from the  witches spell. Then really the rest of the story was left to your imagination.
Did it end well of didn’t it?

I liked this little task as it got us thinking of all the different interactions there are around for people to get involved, this made me think towards our applied media research and the different ways in which people talk about shows and show how they feel about them. Whether it is a Facebook status or a tweet on twitter to just general chat to friends about the show on social forums.
