WHICH BOOKFACE IS YOUR FACE?
A branded content experience to engage new library users
Not only a Bookface
On X-Libris project we think the book and the face are just the beginning of something bigger and more engaging.
We have organized a "Branded content" workshop at Kadir Has Center in Istanbul and the first results are these two videos plus a didactical unit how to implement this activity is going to be published.
Two videos clips;
1. "Which Bookface is your face? on a Marvel style (a hidden message for comic game design)
2.The "making of" the activity.
First part of the workshop:
1.Participants have chosen their book.
2.They have documented live the production of the "branded content" for the social media channels, defined #hashtag and launch the campaing on Twitter, Facebook, Youtube.
3.With the images and video footage made with mobile phones a new video was created showing the making of. No editing and professional post production made, just simple and easy standard tools used to compile the final video.
4.Sound track can be added from the free music library.
Second part of the workshop:
1.Each book has Hero and a story.
2.On the table 15 heroes and their stories.
