As part of a course “Producing for TV” in CEFPF (European Center for Production of Films), I gave a half-day introductory course on topics “web documentary and transmedia (cross-media).”
To locate the “ecosystem” of developments in the sector of professional audiovisual production, in terms of web and mobility, I discussed these points:
- What is web documentary ?
- Economic models of the video on the web today.
- Economic and technical operation of the youtube platform (Flash, CPM, revenue sharing, prints...).
- Uses and strategies to “conquest” of the audience, as part of the new relationship of the audience to audiovisual objects.
- Comparison of economic models of amateur content and professional content.
- Technologies and tools to manufacture webdocumentaires (Flash, HTML5 authoring tools).
Second training session
I hosted a second session half a day with the same group, in which, after collectively defined the prerogatives of a transmedia project, I proposed to the participants in small groups to imagine, design and “pitcher” concepts of transmedia projects. Extremely productive year, even in a short time. To his imagination is the most formative thing!
