EMDA 362 - Transmedia Storytelling Genres

4 credits
Harry Potter, superheroes, Star Wars, and similar “story worlds” have common characters and worlds to tell stories in a variety of media-film, video games, comic books, television, novels, animation, and so forth. This course examines how to build such “story worlds” so that they: 1- cohere in ways that engage audiences, 2- Serve as platforms for telling stories across a variety of media (transmedia storytelling), and 3- avoid clichés, especially tropes that may unintentionally marginalize or exclude some groups and cultures. Working in mediums of their choice, students will create some part of a story world. Collaborative work is welcome. Can be taken for repeat credit. Prerequisite(s): EMDA 201  or EMDA 202  or COMM 215  or EMDA 203  or EMDA 204  or EMDA 205. (Cross-listed with COMM 362 .)
Grade mode designated on a CRN basis each term. Students should consult current term schedule.
