Science Saturdays: Netflix Narratives

Though mentioning Netflix’s “Black Mirror” episode, “Bandersnatch” seems somewhat belated considering how long ago the episode came out, I was happy to hear about Netflix’s continued exploration of narrative experiences on their platform, as they begin to hire designers for similar content to what the “Black Mirror” episode of “Bandersnatch” had done, where viewers were prompted to instigate events of the episode. According to Sciencefiction.com, Netflix is interested in hiring those who, “In the role of Narrative Designer, you will apply your passion for interactive experiences, narrative design and technology to help reimagine the future of entertainment experiences on Netflix. You will work closely with a talented team of designers, producers, content executives, and external content producers to help facilitate and create the next generation of story experiences for millions of Netflix viewers around the world,”. This is exciting news, because it’s almost like the “viewing” experience is changing, and especially if anyone is interested in creating their own narrative stories, this is an amazing opportunity.
