Course contents
Erasmus students can contact the teacher to get more information: labs are in Italian, so it is fundamental to have at least a level B1 in Italian. Each lab is 24 hours and you must attend all lectures (only 25% of absence).
The workshop deals with the topic of interactive digital narrative forms, and it is related to educational, social and cultural issues. Digital storytelling refers today to many different things: over the aspects related to marketing, the main topics will be the formal teaching in school, and the various kinds of digital narration: video games, visual novels, web series, but also forms of transmedial and cross-media narration.
Finally, the course will address the theme of immersive and interactive storytelling in cinema, art, video games and entertainment, as well as that in the non-fictional sector (documentary and journalism), which finds in virtual reality a technology through which to invent new ways to tell and communicate.
