Writing the second season of Muckrakers

Abstract

The webisode series is a new, emerging format of online video. Much like a television show, it consists of short episodes that make up a series. First, I analyze popular webisode series and categorize them based on the structure of the plot and their method of distribution. Second, I create a list of ten traits that nearly every popular webisode series share, and describe how they've been applied. Finally, I use this knowledge to write the first half of a new season of my own webisode series, Muckrakers. Throughout the scripts I include notes to show how the research I've gathered is applied to the episodes.
