What Makes a Good Remix

I think the best remixes take a story and tell it in a perspective that’s a little different, instead of just digitalizing an existing story or rewriting a story.  I especially like the Chamber of PostSecrets one, because it takes the story and tells it from Ginny’s perspective.  It gives it a different spin.  The best remixes are also more specific.

What Makes a Good Digital Story

I think the best stories focus on one kind of digitalization.  I thought that the spinoff of Alexander’s bad day had too much going on.  It’s more effective when the story is digitalized through one form of media.

I liked the magazine that retold the Hunger Games.  It focused on one story and one kind of media.

Stories I am Considering

This project will be most interesting for me, and I will learn the most, if I choose a story that I like.  I am thinking about doing:

• The Little Mermaid – I love Disney, and it could be fun to do something related to singing/recording.
• Harry Potter – I also love Harry Potter, and I think it would be interesting to create social media related to one of the movies.  I could use the perspective of someone other than Harry.
• Spiderman – It could be interesting to create a blog or newspaper story about this one.
