Task B Section 3 - The Last Text - Why/Purpose

Why is this webisode episodic?
My webisode isn't episodic at the moment. The reason is because we revealed the killer's face in the scene therefore the webisode can't continue because the audience know who the killer is. For it to be episodic you can't show the killers face in order for the story to continue and in order for a new story or a new problem to be in the next episode. The purpose of this is to create a wider audience and to give the viewer to look forward in seeing the next episode. It is episodic because the story would lead onto another story in a different episode about another person.

What makes this webisode multi-stranded?
My webisode is multi-stranded because later on in the other episodes you will see the main characters friends and what happened before she died and the reason why she did. Within all the other episodes there are other narratives which are her friends and we see their story as well before we know the actual reason why she died and who killed her. The purpose of this is for the audience to solve a puzzle that has been made while the characters act their stories.

Why is this webisode open-ended?
The reason why my webisode is open-ended is because in the later episodes their will be more characters in the webisode and more stories to go with them of their background. The purpose of this is to show all the stories and link it into one and to show the audience it is real time.

Why is this webisode Non linear?
The reason why my webisode is non linear is because at the beginning of the webisode it begins with a flashback on when the character got murdered and then after it shows the interviews that her friends were having in present tense then in the next episode you would see another flashback on what happened before she died. The purpose of this is because the flashbacks are not in order and it shows the audience the reason why the character got murdered.
