COMM 3410U – Digital Media Storytelling

This course explores the theory, aesthetics and practice of digital storytelling. In the age of media convergence, one story’s plot, tropes and set of characters increasingly spread across many novels, comic books, films, TV shows, websites, social media platforms and video games. Students examine how writing, structuring, telling, reading, selling and experiencing stories is changing to hone their knowledge and understanding of the economic drivers, design and cultural resonance of trans-media digital storytelling.
