Description

Time stamped videos, estimated reading times, those little dots that show how many images are left to scroll through. It’s all about managing our expectations around time and effort. This is where our ‘busy, busy, busy’ culture has brought us.

And if it’s happening in our leisure time, you can bet it’s happening even more at work, where people, projects and pressures relentlessly compete for our consciousness and it can be a noisy place online. How can you prioritise information if everything’s important?

Host Elle Bradley-Cox talked with head of creative Craig Bentley and senier writer Patrick Halkett about how we share information now. Elle is also joined by special guest Professor Paul Wells, a director of the Animation Academy and internationally established screenwriter, about how our own story arc is changing the media we consume.
