What makes a good remix?
- Sticking to story line
- Getting creative with the tool used to remix (Twitter feed, video, prezi, etc.)
- Using multiple modes of communication
What makes a good digital story?
My favorite remix out of the examples was the Hunger Games magazine flip book. What I liked about it was the sheer amount of content in it, the fact they used so many pictures, and finally how it was organized like an actual magazine would look.
The “Once Upon a Times” remix was too wordy in my opinion. I really liked how most of the remix examples embraced the new age and based their projects around social media. However, this once seemed somewhat bland because it was almost all words and was done on a newspaper, which is a venue of communication that our generation doesn’t really use all that often making it seem outdated.
