Over the summer break I conducted a lot of research into my chosen topic area of transmedia storytelling. I was able to find a number of useful books in the library and ordered several more in that I thought would be useful to me in my COP3 research. Furthermore, I collected quite a number of web sources that were then compiled into my bibliography giving me a large range of useful references to continue on my project with. In terms of primary research, I was fortunate enough to have responses from two transmedia producers that I e-mailed questions too. The responses were very useful and I'm hoping moving further into the project that I can collect more responses based on other areas of research within my topic. I started writing different sections that could be useful to me later on and so that I could convert the research I'd done into somewhat usable writing. Aside from the written element of the project I also thought about my practical response and decided it would be appropriate to synthesise my written work with the making of a transmedia production bible. How far I'll be able to take the practical is unclear at the moment but I'm looking to create some aspects of a transmedia franchise along with the production bible.
I had some useful input following the presentation I gave on transmedia storytelling. This ranged from examples of transmedia franchises that I could look at for contextual research to questions being raised that could be addressed within my essay.
