I created an Instagram account called North_Shore_W*** that will serve as the platform for the ‘secrets’ to become public.

Why I did it:

Trying to create a fake Instagram is pretty challenging, so I figured I’d make a real one with an interface that is already functioning and easy to link to.

Next to get all of the images up on Instagram with their captions, and finish the my ‘Who Done It?’ for Friday.

SALUTE WDM BLOG…

CK signing off.

I started redoing my project starting with the presentation formate.

Why I did it:

I didn’t change my idea, but I finally had a realization about the direction that I wanted it to go in and how to most effectively accomplish that. Restarting the presentation gives the animation of the prezi more of a purpose towards the goal of the project.

Right now the deliverable aspect of my project is slacking slightly, so the main focus is to get the project completed and then reevaluate what needs to be added to make the work stronger.

Currently, the rhetorical situations that I choose as platforms for the project make sense to the goal of the remix and the context of the story that I am remixing.

Peer review was helpful as Nadia and Grace had some really good ideas and feedback.

I started to bring the screenshots into a prezi and add captions to them.

Why I did it:

This is functioning as a brainstorming exercise to figure out what captions to put with the images, and to gage how many images I need for the project.

Started collecting screenshots of the movie and associate them with quotes.

Why I did it:

It’s the most time consuming aspect of the project.

How I’m incorporating links:

Using a prezi to bring all of my elements together, and I will use a slide at the end of the presentation to place the bibliography on a slide at the end.

I created a mock up of the framework idea I have for revealing who spills all da’ beans in Mean Girls before the Burn Book. The concept is similar to the Red Ridinghood prezi murder board, but my board will serve as a collection of the secrets that were spilled through Instagram and Twitter as they happened. And it will be the place that I ‘reveal’ who did what and why.

Week 2 (20 – 24) Generate the end product and figuring out how I want to do this. I plan to have a draft complete by the 22nd for peer review, and will put the final touches on the project that weekend for the due date on the 27th.

A creative medium to demonstrate the highlights of a well known story that can be fiction or nonfiction. There needs to be a demonstration of an understanding of technology. Needs to be unique and fun.

2) Which project was the best:

I really liked the Time Magazine version of The Hunger Games. The work is really clean with a lot of thought into which aspects of the story were important to highlight. The project required an understanding of HTML coding, and the skills of the project creator were demonstrated really well and very cleanly. Compared to other projects, I thought the Time Magazine idea was really straightforward, relevant to the story it was portraying, and very realistic. Other projects were a little too satirical, or didn’t think through minor presentation details that ended up deterring from the overall appeal of the remix.

3) Project ideas:

The Giver – really good book/story, could create a portfolio of selective color images that tell the story.

The Incredibles – it’s my favorite pixar movie

Mean Girls – it’s my favorite movie to quote
