Is it more important to consider the personal audience (those who consume), or the algorithmic audience when publishing digitally? How is each audience important in dictating the final product? If the algorithmic audience becomes the more dominant and deciding audience in terms of digital publishing, will the need for writers fall as computers learn/are programed…
A couple years ago, I made an Instagram for my dog, Pebbles: @pebbstagram. It has since carried on, now focusing on my new puppies, Pepper and Zuko. My mother and I run it together, posting pictures with captions and hashtags such as “#dachshundsofinstagram”. For this project, I plan to create the following media: Instagram (pre-existing)…
As Vivian said in her post, Jenkins defines transmedia storytelling as a text that goes across “multiple platforms” in “Searching for the Origami Unicorn”. The only other examples I could think of when it comes to transmedia storytelling I could really only think of “Star Wars” and Disney productions as well. This is probably because…
The Game of Thrones franchise is an example of transmedia storytelling because, though its main story is told through the Song of Ice and Fire book series, there are a variety of other media across different platforms that contribute to the overall story and world of Westeros. Transmedia is a way of “integrating multiple texts…

One of the first things that came to mind when thinking about transmedia storytelling was podcasts. While there are podcasts that are entirely self-contained, there are many that expand the conversation or narrative to other platforms or media. The podcasts themselves are often created in order to expand an already existing franchise; many YouTubers, authors, and celebrities now have their own podcasts….
I’ve always thought that hearing an author read their writing out loud is the best way to understand the work. That’s why slam poetry has always had a tight hold on me, and how it has earned a prioritized place in my heart. Authors can combine the beauty and technique behind language with live performances…
The idea that I’m most interested in pursuing is creating a video where I combine clips from the movie trailers from the 50 Shades of Grey series and break up the clips with text that gives statistics, quotes, and, possibly, personal journal entries on domestic abuse. At the end of the video, I was thinking…
For my Creative Commons search, I chose the keyword “underwater”. I honestly have no idea why I chose this keyword, it was just the first thing that popped into my mind. Throughout my search, I saw a range of different media represented, including photos, videos, academic papers, articles, wiki pages, blogs, and music. The academic…
The Creative Commons website is a “…project [that] will develop and release an open online search and re-use tool that will allow high-quality content from the commons to surface in a more seamless and accessible way.” (CC Search Prototype). For this search through Creative Commons, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to search at first….
