Seize the Media

Description 

Transmedia Next is an advanced training course for experienced professionals from all branches of media (including film, television, theatre, print, live events and games sectors) interested in using transmedia to access new audiences and creatively extend the storyworld of their fictional and documentary narratives.

This course fuses theory and practice in a blend of lectures, ‘conversations’ with leading practitioners and teamwork covering the full cycle of development, writing, production, and distribution of transmedia audiovisual works. Participants immediately apply what they learn by collaborating
in teams to design and develop a transmedia programme during the course of the event. The event culminates in a live pitch session, where team members have an opportunity to pitch their projects to a panel of distinguished guests and peers.

Transmedia Next stands out from other transmedia training courses in Europe because the course itself is run as a transmedia event where participants are immersed in a transmedia story experience from before they arrive at the venue until after they leave the event.

Target group 

Fiction and documentary directors, screenwriters, film and television producers, new media content commissioners and producers, script editors, distributors, game developers, composers.

Benefits 

Participants leave the course with the tools and techniques to design, build and produce their own transmedia programmes.
