The study found that
78 percent of people want to “friend” a character digitally – meaning they would receive updates via platforms like Facebook or via SMS – and would like to be able to sway the outcome of a particular decision, as they would with real friends, perhaps.
Other findings included that 87 percent of people want to be able to get more perspective on a story by seeing through a particular character’s eyes or changing the point-of-view altogether and switch to a different character.For those of us creating works for children and teens, this study brings up a lot of questions - and perhaps, inspiration.

This is really interesting, I definitely see the potential for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThe idea of a reader or viewer communicating directly with a character is particularly fascinating to me, and instantly makes me wonder how that could be done.
Could an actor make himself/herself available, on Skype, or online, and BE that character? If so would they use a script as a jumping off point or just improvise? Could an author do the same thing, through writing, on twitter and fb? Think I've seen a little bit of that already :) The possibilities are endless :)
Great post!
Thanks, Mimi - I agree that there are so many fascinating possibilities!
