Second, future research might want to look at how audiences access their favorite shows, obviously if they are accessing them from online sources that aren’t related to the original producers or accessing them in a different order than the producers this might affect their ability to engage and enjoy the extra transmedia content. Simons mentioned this in his study of audiences in Belgium watching US television shows after they had been aired in the USA (Simons, 2014). This could pose a problem for producers seeking engagement or needing it to keep advertising partners happy.

Third a future study might want to employ the use of in-depth interviews with the target population. These interviews could ask questions about what the top programs are in Taiwan, why they are popular and if there are common themes within the content. This information would be great in testing the quantitative information gathered in this study.

By combining the information gathered in this thesis with the above suggestions a very detailed view of audience consumption patterns would be seen which would be very valuable to any content producers.

5.6 Future Directions in General

The very nature of transmedia storytelling is a technology dependent concept.

One where access to technology production on multiple mediums becoming cheaper over time, makes for storytellers to attempt never before seen productions. However, the need to make something spread across multiple platforms cannot take precedent over the need for a good story or world in the first place. Ciancia puts this into words quite eloquently when stating “Each platform can be thought of as an instrument, and it is up to the producer to make sure they play together as a symphony (Ciancia, 2013). Because of the ever evolving ecosystem of technology, various mobile apps, or social media platforms can and will change and so too will the types of stories and types of audiences that want to engage on those platforms. As the traditional broadcast platform for television evolves in different markets (such as the HBBTV-Next standard) so, too will viewing and

consumption patterns in general. With a push for “content everywhere” as mentioned earlier, viewing behaviors and platforms for viewing might change along with it. But the logic of a story told in a transmedia way will persist. So too will the types of cues that

Finally, in a related manner, online video consumption is changing the way series are released and consumed. Engaging with television shows in between episodes is based on a traditional weekly broadcast model. Companies like Netflix in the USA are currently producing and releasing content in an “all you can watch” format that might prove

difficult for producers to create transmedia content for (“Come Binge with Me”, 2013).

The way that mobile apps or internet based platforms can sync with exactly what a consumer is watching and when they are watching it would only lend to more ways for a story to unfold for the audience member. As Simons admitted in his writing on the reception in Belgium of U.S. produced transmedia texts: “Differences in reception between Flemish and U.S. transmedia TV drama, such as the lack of knowledge about and consumption of cross media and transmedia extensions for U.S. TV drama, might be the result of the delay in broadcast transmission and the much smaller-scale marketing campaigns of U.S. TV drama” (Simons, 2014). A future study might want to look at how a change in the way television shows are scheduled for release by region and if extra content is available and tailored to each region would affect the interest in engagement among the intended audiences.
