Watch: Creating the Twists and Turns of 'Black Mirror: Bandersnatch' | No Film School

Next to Bird Box, David Slade's Black Mirror: Bandersnatch has been the most discussed Netflix property of December. Based on the hit episodic series, Black Mirror, this feature-film is interactive in nature, allowing the viewer themselves to choose which way the story develops. Will you accept or decline a proposition? Each choice matters.

While Netflix had experimented with this type of storytelling in the past (primarily on scripted children programming), Bandersnatch represents the most advanced of its kind, and it's left many wondering how the production team pulled it off. Were there multiple scripts in place? Narrative flowcharts? Alternate endings?

Although a little on the lite side, Netflix has released a video that briefly goes over the creative process of bringing Bandersnatch to life (and the complexities involved in doing so). Check it out below....there are no spoilers.

Today, I want to go over titles with you and talk about how to come up with them and how to pick the right ones for your work.

Let's get started.
