Case Study Papers

The docSHIFT Case Study Papers will take us behind the scenes and screens of the new and growing interactive documentary genre. The papers will look at a selection of interactive docs, chosen for their ability to exemplify key issues currently facing creators today. Issues like:

• Creating effective partnerships
• Pairing an interactive site with a traditional doc
• Attracting new audiences. Getting repeat visitors
• Estimating the lifespan of a project
• New platforms, new technologies
• Understanding why some projects fail
• Navigating within the Canadian public funding models
• Monetization/ Revenue generation
• New venues for marketing and distribution
