2. REINVENTING ICH FOR THE DIGITAL GENERATION
Transmedia storytelling has become a hallmark of today’s “readers” creating a hybrid way of reading and
interacting with a text.
Transmedia storytelling is a technique for developing a single or various interactive story genres around the
same topic involving different media and different levels of audience interaction. Taking for example cultural
icons and adapting them in this form allows for the stories to be consumed in new ways. Stories can either
standalone or complement each other.
Multiple media platforms can be utilized to convey these stories–from videos to blog posts, tweets on Twitter
or status updates on Facebook, games, ads, books, posters, stories or posts in Instagram, videos on tic toc..
The goal of transmedia is ultimately to have many moving parts that create one cohesive storyline, and the
ways in which these pieces move and work together creates a unique, immersive story experience.
Robert Pratten identifies three types of transmedia story; franchise, portmanteau and complex, that describe
the relationship between the media. The first describes a story world that is conveyed in multiple stories using
multiple media, the second describes a single story that consists of multiple media and the third is a
combination of these two.

the tourists themselves and the locals
in the creation of the tourist product (co-creation).

TRADITIONAL SONGS
SUNG DURING SPINNING
Tak tak goes my loom,
Weaving my crystal wedding
dress,
the night and the moon.
Tak tak goes the loom,
Here comes the groom.
Haste my spindle,
Be fast with spinning silk,
Let my loved one come at Easter time,
and find new clothes to change.
