Brainstorming Remix A Story

  1. What makes a good remix:
    Based on the assignment and the examples, list some characteristics that make for strong projects. Focus on how the story is rethought, or remixed.

  • appropriate platform

  • details/features from the story

  • making words come to life

  • relatable to today’s times

    What makes a good digital story:

    Look at the 12 examples and talk about which one you felt did the best job of digitizing an existing story. Support your opinion with some details from the examples and/or some comparisons to other examples.
    Focus on the technology behind the story.

“What Happened to Little Red Riding Hood”? was definitely my favorite for Remix A Story project. Both the stories I was considering are based on this project: TV show, Pretty Little Liars and a Disney movie. I thought it was really cool how they used Pretty Little Liars and twisted it to seem like a mystery Disney movie. The design and story flowed very well together. I thought Prezi was an appropriate platform to use to explain the story.

Stories I am considering:

Brainstorm a list of 3 to 5 stories you might focus on, and say a little bit about why you are considering them. If you feel that you already know exactly what you want to focus on, you can talk about your choice. (My goal here is to help you start focusing on your project’s topic).

  1. Pretty Little Liars

  2. Disney movie

  3. The Bachelor

  4. American Idol

  5. Hallmark movie
