The format of an annotated bibliography can vary, so if you're doing one for a class, it's pretty important to ask for specific guidelines. For this class, I don't care which format you use since we are most interested in the list of narratives than the format of the list, but here are some examples of formats to help you. Any of these will work! 

The bibliographic information: Generally, the bibliographic information of the source (the title, author, publisher, date, etc.) is written in either MLA or APA format. For more help with formatting, see the MLA handout. For APA, go here: APA handout.

The annotations: The annotations for each source are written in paragraph form. The lengths of the annotations can vary significantly from a couple of sentences to a couple of pages depending on how many entries you have. If you only have a few entries, then by all means use lengthy descriptions! If you have a hundred, then short descriptions are best. The length will always depend on the purpose. If you're just writing summaries of your sources, the annotations may not be very long. However, if you are writing an extensive analysis of each source, you'll need more space.


To help you out, here are some links to lists similar to the format types I consider gradable.  

1) Traditional (printed) formatted list with annotation

• Perdue OWL: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/03/ These are examples of traditional formats including MLA, APA, & Chicago
• Cornell University: http://guides.library.cornell.edu/annotatedbibliography Some general guidelines with examples

2) Formatted wiki - fan created resource 

• Star Wars Wiki http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page note how the information is organized on the wiki, with designations of cannon and non-cannon (extended universe). This is too detailed though, as it is not restrained to simply the story entries. 
  
• Walking dead Wiki http://walkingdead.wikia.com/wiki/The_Walking_Dead_Wiki Note how this wiki has easy to access tabs for each of the major story formats via media form.  

3) Formatted website - franchise/industry created resource

• Walking dead AMC website http://www.amctv.com/shows/the-walking-dead/episodes and http://blogs.amctv.com/the-walking-dead/# are most notable for their official episode guide and as a portal for embedded content itself via the official network pipeline.  
• The Guardian's Walking Dead Episode Guide http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/series/the-walking-dead-episode-by-episode notable because of the short externally cited descriptions but with comments enabled to allow for audience interaction with the site and reaction to the episode all for content not created by them in any way. 

This week we looked at the difference between adapting from a visual story medium such as a comic book as opposed to the text/audio media we looked at last week (ie, Harry Potter and Hunger Games). New challenges present themselves with the four possibilities: Take Away / Add / Change / Preserve. This case study is great because it is a perfect example of cross-media / transmedia done right, with lots of iterations from the graphic novels to the series to webisodes to games of all types, and always asking the question: "What is there for the audience to DO?" Even the simple act of watching the show becomes an interactive process due to the prior knowledge of the comic such as with the appearence of Michonne at the end of season 2 before the pan to the prison in the distance. That was a tense wait for the new season for many of us, and the casting announcement of who the governor would be was like a major reveal! Most just didn't know or care what that meant, but to us it was looking upon the face of the devil.
