1. I thought that all of the examples of past students’ projects, were great representations of remixes of stories. I think it is important to stay consistent with the theme of the actual story but then implement one’s own “spark” into it, to make it unique. As the assignment indicates, we have to make sure to use 3 modes of communication.

2. As mentioned above, I believe that all the examples were great digital stories, but I enjoyed the videos over the magazine/ prezzi examples. My favorites were the 3 little pigs rendition, as well as the Repunzel (modern day) video. Both of these made sure to stick to the original characters but add fun, and quirky elements to them. By using the video option, the creators were able to put in linguistic elements, aural (because we could hear them) and spacial as they moved around.

3. I have some sort of idea for what I want to remix. I liked the Repunzel example, so I was thinking of making one about a few disney princesses as I was a big fan as a child. Instead of focusing on them in the past, I thought it’d be entertaining to do a kind of dating-site profile for them, or a game show with each of the Princesses introducing themselves. I am not too familiar with video- applications but I think this would give me the opportunity to expand my digital knowledge.
