A lot of fantastic detail and ideas.<br /><br />I would add that for many there is huge value not so much in "storytelling" but rather intangibles of the relationship between the audience (participants) and the creator. <br /><br />Mass media has become so impersonal the broadcasters frequently ignore and disrespect the audience. People want to be able to have a say, to feel listened to, to feel connected, and in facilitating this we create value for the audience that doesn't necessarily have to do with the story narrative.<br /><br />I'd add that while I call myself a filmmaker, content creation needn't be as predefined as "film", and some projects needn't be about story narrative. The risk of saying that our USP is narrative storytelling is that books already offer that! What people online want is interaction, something they don't get from traditional media, and in some cases this will be interaction in the forms you've outlined in your articles, but in others it may be by being involved in the creative process itself such as Star Wreak allowed.<br /><br />Filmmakers need to be clear about their specific project goals, and work out which actions they can take with the audience that will add value to the audience without compromising the filmmaker's goals. Transpancy gives audiences understanding of what to expect, where the lines are drawn.<br /><br />Now, the question is, what comes after part 6 of 6? :) Looking forward to finding out.Lucihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269188988389385008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19034584.post-7214777648365532622009-12-29T12:38:56.596-08:002009-12-29T12:38:56.596-08:00@Will: Here's an epiphany I picked up on Techd...@Will: Here's an epiphany I picked up on Techdirt... product is something you sell from past work, service is something you sell for future work.

My abiding realization in taking courses recently has been that all business comes down to service: how can we provide our customers the best experience they deserve.<br /><br />This is a great start toward getting there, I think. There's no single way to do it; as each of us has our own ... er. I hate to say "vision, artistically," but can't think of a different way to put it ... we're all going to have our own careers and our own business models. What's going to work for one may not work for another.<br /><br />Great stuff here. I like the subscriber ideas. Not sure about interpretation (I'm one of those writers who just wants to put stuff out there and leave it be, myself), but that's just me, personally; I know lots of writers/directors/etc. love to talk more about their work.Will Entrekinhttp://willentrekin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19034584.post-91440837728137560242009-12-29T10:42:53.518-08:002009-12-29T10:42:53.518-08:00As a musician turned film maker you hit the nail o...As a musician turned film maker you hit the nail on the head!
