Transmedia storytelling is about telling a story in different forms, across different media. The prefix "trans" means across, and "media" refers to tools (or forms of communication) one can use to convey information, so trans-media storytelling involves telling a story that unfolds across various forms.Different media let you tell stories in different ways. A comic book can have spectacular action effects that would be expensive to make on a TV show but are easy to draw. A written story might have more time to devote to a character's personal history than a 30 or 60 minute television show. Websites can allow fans to learn about characters they love while easily skipping information about characters they find less interesting. Other media include songs, paintings, novels, commercials, newspapers, and blogs.
