I finished making the tweets with pictures in them and I started putting together the final twitter feed.

Why I did it

I wanted to have tweets with pictures in them to make the final twitter feed look more realistic as well as enhance the final project aesthetically. I also started collecting all of the finished tweets together on one document so they would be easier to unify into one final twitter feed.

Today, I started making all of the tweets that don’t have any special customizations in them.

Why I did it

I wanted to get all of these tweets knocked out in one session because they are the easiest to make. Even though they are all out of order at the moment, I wanted to get them out of the way so I could organize everything the way I wanted it once I had my special tweets with pictures done.

Revision Plan:

• Make characters more dramatic
• Create more special tweets

Over the weekend, I re-watched the last episode of Breaking Bad as well as finished working on my mock-up from Wednesday’s class.

Why I did it

I had to re-watch the last episode of Breaking Bad because I felt like my mock-up was lacking some important scenes and events that I had looked over. After I watched the episode, I finished my mock-up so that I could have a nice outline to keep my thoughts organized as well as have the foundation of my project clearly spelled out.

Today, I started my mock-up outline that I will be using to make my final project. I did it on a Word document and organized but numbering each potential tweet in the order that they will be tweeted.

Why I did it

I did my mock-up on a Word document because it is the fastest and most efficient way for me to make outlines. I didn’t want to look in to the other ways of making outlines because I thought it would take too long to figure them out, and I’ve always planned everything I’ve created using either a pen and piece of paper or a Word document. This meant I could make an outline with ease and also in a way that is familiar to me.

While I was making my outline, I realized I didn’t remember as much about this certain episode as I thought I did. Therefore, when I get home, I am going to have to re-watch the episode to make sure I don’t forget any important parts.

10. Jesse Pinkman: “still haven’t shaved, showered, or brushed my teeth in this lab. Walter, you want to break me out any time soon? #beardgamestrong”

Today, I looked over a few of the tutorials posted on our class website as well as looked into the different tools that are available to use for fake social media accounts.

Why I did it

I looked at the tutorials because I am very rusty using tools such as iMove, Photoshop and things along those lines. It’s going to take me a while to figure out how to use these, but watching the tutorials at least gives me a place to start. I also looked at the fake social media account generators. Because there is no tool for making a fake Instagram, I think I’m going to have to look into using a different type of social media for my project.

• 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.

Story considerations?

• Cinderella
• Breaking Bad
• Where the Wild Things Are
