RSC I, Cinna Project: The Context
• Surprisingly few films of Shakespeare made by the RSC itself
• Constant need to find contemporary relevance for The Bard
• Educational imperative• Desire to “skip a generation” and create something cutting
edge• Aim to work with educational institution as part of the
process– Young people know best what young people want

Technological enablement
• Web 2.0 context provides culture of user participation in media– Blogs, social media, instant messaging, user-generated content
• HTML 5 allows much tighter integration between media and page– Popcornjs.org shows some advanced examples– Popcorn Maker: http://mozillapopcorn.org/popcorn-maker/– Popcorn Macbeth
• Future projects will use HTML 5 implementation to link user participation directly with video content
![Page 23: Digital Berkshire, July 2012: Dr James Morris](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042715/55863922d8b42a3c348b47f2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Technological inspirations
• Groundbreaking music videos– OK Go’s All Is Not Lost– Arcade Fire’s The Wilderness Downtown– Rome’s “3 Dreams of Black”
• New interactive documentaries– National Film Board of Canada’s One Millionth Tower– Bay Area Video Coalition’s History In These Streets
• Tech showcases:– http://cspdev1.csp.uwa.edu.au/temp/sample.htm

Bite-size narratives
• Dickens– Pickwick Papers serialised in 1836
• Comics– Graphic novels such as Watchmen
• Gamification– Writer supplies a backstory; gamer provides the
linear narrative by interaction
![Page 27: Digital Berkshire, July 2012: Dr James Morris](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042715/55863922d8b42a3c348b47f2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Transmedia Challenges
• Create a strong, engaging story• Create a story users want to
participate in• Create a story that can mutate with
user interaction– Whilst also maintaining a strong
narrative drive
