This document discusses plans for an online multimedia project to supplement a radio feature about Day of the Dead. The project will use multiple media platforms to tell additional stories and provide more context about the culture and history of Day of the Dead. It will not be directly about music, but will expand on the topics discussed in the 50-minute radio feature in an interactive way, drawing from examples of transmedia storytelling used by SBS and PBS.
2. What is an Online
Feature?
• Can take many forms
• From simply publishing a broadcast
feature online
• To a fully multimedia and interactive
experience.
6. Transmedia
• Multiple Media
• Multiple Platforms
• Multiple Entry and exit points
• Brought together to tell a single story
7. Our Project
• In Support of a 50 Minute Radio
Feature.
• Bringing together multiple stories of
Day of the Dead to form a rich, layered
narrative and understanding of the
culture and history of Day of the Dead
8. Who Is It For?
• Into The Music: ABC Radio National
• 50 minute feature will focus on music
• “Transmedial expansion”
• Expand on the topic. In this case “Day
of the Dead”.
• Not necessarily music.
13. Our Project
• One space, like SBS.
• Separate to the Into The Music page
(but can still be linked to from it)
• Organised into topic with navigation
either back to the home page or to the
next related story.
