What does transformat / multiplatform or cross- platform mean for the purposes of this scheme?

Multi-platform projects are forms of entertainment where the story is told over a range of media platforms, such as television broadcast, online video, mobile phones, and downloaded podcasts which can be watched either on a computer or a portable media player. It is a bridging of film / broadcast / new media applications and can reach into publishing of books / DVDs / additional web content. A project of this kind will also rely on social-networking and intricate methods to develop an audience and brand loyalty.
