PhD Research Title:    Examining Video Content on Social Media - creating a methodological tool for enhancing the storytelling transformation: from Cross Media to Viral Transmedia

The research examines the dynamics of storytelling in audiovisual content on social media, focusing on the transformation from cross media storytelling, where a story is presented in a cohesive way across different social media platforms, to viral transmedia storytelling, where the narrative spreads dynamically by leveraging the unique capabilities of each platform. As a practice-based study, it includes the creation and testing of content aimed at enhancing interactivity, aesthetics, and audience engagement. The goal is to understand the mechanisms that amplify the dissemination and effectiveness of stories in the digital environment.
