The existing immersive processes that develop between worldbuilding, writers' rooms and other collaborative methods are diverse. From a methodological point of view, they are almost chaotic, as they arise from different approaches and as they are poorly categorized. In the face of a crossover of methods and approaches, also through the use of new technologies, the question arises how to make large and heterogeneous teams with different backgrounds work together and successfully in the development of audiovisual formats.
In the theoretical part, I evaluate these new processes proove how they should be systematically categorized and, based on this, I draw conclusions about the responsibility of creative producers. Which skills are involved in practical implementation? Which workflows can be optimally used for feature film development, which sets of methods must creative producers make available to their teams? Is the additional effort economically justifiable and is the added value sustainable?
The aim of this scientific-artistic dissertation is to methodically develop a development sprint for interdisciplinary teams and to make it available first in teaching and later to the market.
