Postgraduate Certificate in Transmedia Storytelling and Crossmedia Concepts

Transmedia storytelling and crossmedia are two concepts related to storytelling on different platforms:

- Transmedia storytelling: is a process of storytelling across different platforms or media, such as television, film, video games, social networks, books, websites, etc. The idea is that each medium contributes a piece of the narrative puzzle, a unique and coherent experience that enriches the narrative universe in which the viewer is immersed. This means that a story can begin in a movie, continue in a video game and culminate in a novel. The goal of Transmedia storytelling is to involve users in the story and encourage their active participation.

- Crossmedia: is an approach in which a story or concept is expanded to different platforms, but does not necessarily require the story to be consistent across all media. The idea is that each media exposes different aspects of the plot, allowing the viewer to gain a more complete understanding of the story as a whole. In this case, each media in which the story is told or the brand is promoted is independent and can be enjoyed on its own.

The main difference between the two concepts is that transmedia storytelling seeks to create a single coherent and enriching experience across different platforms, while crossmedia focuses on the expansion and exposure of the same story in different media without demanding the narrative integrity of the story across all touchpoints. Each approach is aimed at different targets and audiences.

At the end of the program, students will be trained in the concepts and theoretical approaches to transmedia and crossmedia storytelling, will have skills and technical knowledge to design, create, produce, publish and analyze transmedia storytelling projects, and will know how to properly integrate different media to tell a single story. They will be able to better understand the dynamics of storytelling and transmedia content production in different fields and professional fields, from entertainment to digital marketing.
