Towards Measuring Consistency in Transmedial Narratives - Jonathan Barbara - ...Jonathan Barbara
This document proposes developing a scale to measure narrative consistency across transmedia storytelling experiences. It discusses why consistency is important but difficult to measure for stories told across multiple mediums. The document suggests a 5-point consistency scale from "consistent" to "conflicting" to rate different narrative elements like storyworld, events, and characters. It outlines a plan to test the scale by analyzing reviews of movie-based video games and coding them based on the scale. The goal is to create a tool that can measure consistency for interactive narrative games set in transmedia worlds.
