On the Night of Mr. Melvyn's Murder

On the Night of Mr. Melvyn's Murder provides an interesting look into how multimedia platforms are changing the way we view and interact with content. The story revolves around a Mr. Melvyn's murder and provides brief summaries and accounts about new characters with each link. Although the story-line seems to be never ending, this innovative idea creates a way for the audience to control the content they are viewing by clicking on the links they want. While the same can be said for audiences reading online news articles, this story provides a look into how creative concepts are being discovered and developed through multimedia. I think that this is a really cool and interactive project, but I wish the story would be a little more organized so that there is a clear beginning, middle and end. I kind of like that the characters keep multiplying because it keeps the audience involved. I think it would also be cool if the story revealed a different murderer for each time it is read. It is interesting to me that as more content is uploaded on various multimedia platforms, we, as the audience, begin forming certain expectations for what the content will provide for us. Is creative content different? Multimedia allows creators to develop new ideas and projects that constantly alter how content is presented. As the content adapts, however, do we adapt our expectations? I think it will be interesting to see in a few years how many new types of creative content like this short story will be available and expanded upon.
