Transmedia storytelling
something TV has that films do not
Ex: live TV, live plays, PBS (public TV for the public good)- the church scene in My Brilliant Friend
Liveness
Time suspended, time resumed, time manipulated- all basic ingredients of the strong emotions generated by melodrama to get us to care for its protagonists. The more we invest our time in their worlds and their changes, the more we care.
Serial time/seriality
Keeping up with realism is the way melodrama modernizes. It addresses timely social problems and controversies and enlists realism to generate outrage against realities that could and should be changed
Realism and melodrama
Adaptations are ongoing dialogue with the past (ex. Sophie from Howl’s Moving Castle, young and old all at once, which can speak to adaptation and how it appeals to childhood and the now)
