It was a great part of town, and most days I walked past
the Angelika – an independent cinema – on my
way to or from work.

One evening I decided to One evening I decided to go and see a film. go and see a film.
For reasons that are too far back For reasons that are too far back to remember - but I’d like to think to remember - but I’d like to think it’s because I’d picked up along it’s because I’d picked up along the way that it was worth seeing the way that it was worth seeing - I went to watch…- I went to watch…

Until almost half way through the film (other than jumping out of my seat every now and then) I kept wondering… ‘when will this flip out of hand-held cam-corder mode?’
Of course it didn’t, that was the point…

‘A buzz was created on and off line to promote the film via the creation of a myth that the creators had found actual footage of an unexplainable phenomenon left by a missing group of campers. The creators themselves seeded this myth by appearing on Pierson show "Split Screen" with 8 minutes of footage they claimed was found in the woods. Pierson encouraged indie aficionados to debate the truth of the Blair Witch on his web site. When The Blair Witch Project website went live they further spread the disinformation. The film was introduced as Sundance during midnight screening, where industry and Hollywood elite were treated with same guerrila/fandom strategy, "flyering" Sundance with "missing" leaflets.’

When telling your own tales using digital, what to bear in mind…• Digital media may not be the best platform(s) for
your story• Do not expect high engagement from your
audience – most people watch, most people don’t like puzzles
• Keep things simple (and playful where appropriate)
• Consider how people will enter and leave the story
• Make it possible to easily catch-up if the story is in installments
• Think about what you could do with location and mobile
• Experiment and enjoy!
