Virtual reality, virtual news

Virtual reality, virtual news | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Henry Oliver:  "Clicks. Views. Engagement. Eyeballs. Every news outlet is trying to find new ways to get and keep your valuable attention. And the latest weapon news outlets are trying to get you to watch, read, and listen to them rather than anyone else is telling stories in virtual reality."

Madison M. Moore's curator insight, November 25, 2015 2:22 PM

I would say virtual reality is definitely going to be considered by all markets: education, gaming, even for psychology purposes.

It’s the Best of Times and Worst of Times for Storytelling

It’s the Best of Times and Worst of Times for Storytelling | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


ReadThisThing:  "Podcasts are blowing up, great stories are reaching more people than ever, people are paying for content, and the modern web is giving the world a better platform to tell stories than the world has ever seen."

Dr. Pamela Rutledge's curator insight, August 15, 2015 11:19 AM

The trouble with companies watching the world disrupt their business models is that it's hard for them to quit panicking long enough to raise their vision to reconceptualize how they can satisfy the market's core needs. (I'm not suggesting that this is EASY, btw, just necessary.) Think Kodak.  People don't want a better magazine any more than they wanted better film cameras.  www.audiencepsych.com

‘Zero Dark Thirty’ and the new reality of reported filmmaking

‘Zero Dark Thirty’ and the new reality of reported filmmaking | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
The film about the hunt for Osama bin Laden mixes entertainment and reporting.
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:

An interesting look at the storytelling genesis of Zero Dark Thirty.  Does it represent a new genre, the "reported film"?

Palabras digitales's curator insight, December 14, 2012 11:49 AM

El problema con  este tipo de películas es que les cuesta mucho ser aceptadas debido a su alto contenido político. Es una forma originalde realización, pero tiene problemas a la hora de mantenerse en un terreno neutral.

Virtual reality breathes life into immersive storytelling

Virtual reality breathes life into immersive storytelling | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Kate Abrosimova:  "The craft of storytelling is experiencing a sea-change in its development. Putting a viewer in the event directly with the help of virtual reality technology is what journalists are likely to be doing in the next decade."

Minna Kilpeläinen's curator insight, January 12, 2015 4:35 PM

If journalists want to raise real awareness of what is going on in the world, they can´t just offer the audience facts and images.  They also have to give possibilities to feel the reality. Nonny de la Peña´s Project Syria is a great example of it.

Mervi Rauhala's curator insight, January 13, 2015 1:42 AM

A truly interesting project which could increase sense of empathy and understanding.

How the Smartphone Ushered In a Golden Age of Journalism

How the Smartphone Ushered In a Golden Age of Journalism | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it


The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Frank Rose:  "When I first arrived in New York, some time back in the last century, I gazed in awe and fascination at subway riders reading The New York Times. Thanks to a precise and universally adopted method of folding the paper (had it been taught in schools?), they could read it and even turn its pages without thrusting them in anyone else's face. The trick? Folding those big, inky broadsheets into neat little rectangles—roughly the same size, in fact, as an iPad." ...

David Collet's curator insight, August 6, 2014 10:47 PM

A fresh look a news. The reporting and spreading of news. But, it seems, still emphasizing the same boring 'Masters of the Universe.' 

Roger Ellman's curator insight, August 7, 2014 9:53 AM

Moving forward - there's every reason to adapt and adopt. Like vinyl records and old photographic film, some old media methods will become a collectors (small audience) market, leaving mainstream media in the new delivery vehicles of our day today, and tomorrow's (there's the trick, working out what THEY will be!).

The lines at SxSW definitely tell the story: this isn't just the year of the story, it's the decade of coordinated, additive and interactive storytelling across multiple media channels for everything from entertainment and branding to education and journalism. It all starts with the story.
cyneth's curator insight, April 2, 2013 7:47 PM
