This is a practical & hands on project that can be done individually but I have set it up as a class/group task. It assumes the class has been introduced to multiplatform/transmedia concepts already but then gives them the opportunity to brainstorm practical ideas for multiplatform products. They then pitch their product ideas to the class before creating them. The story is based in a high school media classroom as a teacher is murdered (just because students love a crime scene/fake blood) and there are 4 possible student suspects. Each has a motive and a back story and a gender neutral title. Additional facts are also provided. This pairs really well with the multiplatform unit and term workbooklet available in my store. This is an ideal opportunity for QLD FTVNM & MAIP students.
