One of the fundamental problems in contemporary media communication is the under development of a quality storytelling taking into account the new media’s nonlinear heteromorphic interactive character. This problem also refers directly to the future of cinema which already attempts to create a virtual space where the viewer is either a film character or someone who can influence the story unravelling. Understanding the challenges of teaching dramaturgy to a generation that already lives in a meta-communication world is a priority.
