Particular attention to narrative models, to the functioning, possibilities and limits of the triggers and narrative mechanisms, to the modeling of the protagonists and the induced relational dynamics, to the production formulas when relevant. *** In addition to the document “Format & Textuality”, published in Blackboard, below is a purely exemplary list of the points that can be developed: • Contextualization • The concept: evaluation, narrative potential, originality, appeal and engagement • Gamification, Playful vs dramatic, Game typologies • Triggers: identification, analysis, model of functioning and effectiveness • Rituals • Realityfication • Storytelling and narrative arc • Production model • Schedule • Digital and social extension • Audience and reception (social response, critical reviews) • Similarities with other programs • Comparative analysis • Adaptability to the market • Personal considerations and evaluation As said, the list is merely indicative: it is optional and not exhaustive; not all the points indicated above must necessarily be developed; other focuses of attention can be proposed. The adoption of a precise perspective of analysis is encouraged: this can be made explicit starting from the title of the paper. It is worthy of merit to give the analysis a personal slant, for instance through grids and models learnt from readings or along the course of study, with the purpose to get a deeper understanding of the assigned topic.
