  • Second Screen Interaction in the Cinema: Experimenting with Transmedia Narratives and Commercialising User Participation
    . Volume 14, Issue 2 November 2017 Second Screen interaction in the cinema: Experimenting with transmedia narratives and commercialising user participation James Blake, Edinburgh Napier University, UK Abstract: In its relatively short life, second screen interaction has evolved into a variety of forms of viewer engagement. The practice of using two screens concurrently has become common in domestic TV viewing but remains a relatively specialist and niche experience in movie theatres. For this paper, three case studies explore the motivations and challenges involved in such projects. The film Late Shift (Weber, 2016) pulls together conventional cinematic narrative techniques and combines them with the interactivity of Full Motion Video games. An earlier film, App (Boermans, 2015) innovated with the second screen as a vehicle for transmedia content to enhance an affective response within the horror genre. The release of the film Angry Birds (Rovio, 2016) involved a symbiotic second screen play-along element which began in advance of the screening and continued after the movie concluded. This study also analyses other interactive projects within this context, including Disney’s short- lived ‘Second Screen Live’ that accompanied the release of The Little Mermaid (Disney, 1993) and commercial platforms including CiniMe and TimePlay. Mobile devices are being used as platforms for interactive gameplay, social participation and commercial opportunities. However, this landscape has implications on the culture of audience etiquette and the notion of user agency within an environment of immersive storytelling. Keywords: Interaction; Immersion; Transmedia (Narratives); Agency; Distraction; Paratext Introduction The concept of the ‘second screen’ is a relatively recent addition in the lexicon of audience reception studies and media analysis.

    1 INTRODUCTION THEY ARE THE Appillionaires: Smart, ambitious dreamers in bedrooms and garages across the world, plotting the future of mobile apps. Th eir tools are inexpensive — a MacBook Pro and an iPhone — but overnight the Appillionaires can amass a fortune from selling soft ware on the iTunes App Store. Th ey lead a revival of the hobbyist programmer. Not since the days of the Commodore 64 and Atari 2600 has indie soft ware been sold by such tiny teams of programmers to such massive numbers of consumers. Th e money fl ows to the Appillionaires even as they sleep. While they dream their Angry Bird-dreams, invisible electronic transfers push money into the Appillionaires’ bank accounts from App Stores in over 80 diff erent countries.COPYRIGHTED As much as $250 million gets MATERIAL spent at the App Store in a single month. Over 10 billion apps have been sold on the store to date and it’s estimated that Apple has signed up at least 79,000 soft ware publishers to the iOS (iPhone and iPad operating system) club. What’s remarkable is that Apple’s credibility was bolstered so much by the success of the iPod and iPhone that the rise of the iPhone app was widely predicted. Even before the launch of the App Store back in 2008, Wired magazine speculated, “iPhone soft ware development may spark a soft ware gold rush not seen since the heyday of PC-platform development in the 1990s.” 004_9781119978640-ch01.indd4_9781119978640-ch01.indd 3 88/30/11/30/11 111:561:56 AAMM 4 Appillionaires: Secrets from Developers Who Struck It Rich on the App Store THERE’S GOLD IN THEM HILLS It’s this label “gold rush” that has been most oft en applied to the App Store.

  • The Second Screen Fallacy What It All Really Means September 2013 Executive Summary
    The Second Screen Fallacy What It All Really Means September 2013 Executive Summary Second screen is an artifact of total mediation, and specifically refers to the act of using a computer device while the TV is on, which is true of the majority of consumers who own smartphones and tablets. Occasionally, viewers are using their second screen as a companion or complementary media device for what is happening on the “first screen”—the TV. In fact, second screen is probably the best method we currently have for personalizing the TV experience. Of course, the trick lies in turning something that is often a distraction from the TV set into an enhanced viewing experience. IPG Media Lab + Magna Global. © 2013 Proprietary and Confidential 2 Key Takeaways Here’s what you can expect to learn in the following pages: • Second screen is an industry coping mechanism for the consumer attention crisis • Second screen is helping marketers recapture consumer attention in the living room • Second screen is creating more targeted television • Second screen as an industry is in its infancy, but that doesn’t stop marketers from profiting • Social media & TV are better together • Second screen is [finally] turning TV into an interactive, participatory medium • Second screen is not “one size fits all,” you must think about your audience’s behaviors and desires • For content creators and marketers, ignoring the second screen is a big mistake • Brands can (and should!) contribute to the story-telling • Participation is enabled in multiple ways; gameplay is one, but note that badges are dead • As robust commerce solutions emerge, second screen can help brands “seal the deal” • For some, the “second screen” will become the first screen IPG Media Lab + Magna Global.
