Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA

Description:
In mobile F2P games, you might get seven seconds and four taps before a player decides whether to keep playing. In short-form web videos, viewers’ attention spans are even shorter—you might get half a second before the viewer decides to scroll away. So, in this modern age of shortened attention spans and heightened content options, how do you hook people with your story and keep them on the line? From their work together on Double Loop’s “Ashe Cove” mobile game—where they created a compelling paranormal mystery plot for a super-casual audience—Rose and Shelby discovered some key elements to concise writing for mobile games. Shelby will also delve into her experience transferring these skills into short form web video.
