Contemporary Media Issues- WIKI MAKING!

More Wikis

:( personally I don't like them, but you got'a do what you got'a do.
So this time we had to make a Wiki about a topic in a book we were assigned, ours was "Transmedia storytelling" from the book "Convergence Culture, by Henry Jenkins" 


This is the link to the main page of the Wiki we created, I put some pictures and a great video on there that explains what transmedia storytelling is:

I also added some threads to this Wiki with some other examples:

http://contemporarymediaissues.wetpaint.com/thread/4789829/Using+Harry+Potter+as+an+example+of+Transmedia+storytelling

The last link has a link to a prezi I made about Harry Potter as an example of how transmedia storytelling is used in real life, this is the link to that prezi:

Production Practice- PEOPLE ON THE MOVE

Made some progress on our ideas about our story

get this....

We aren't only going to follow one person, we are going to swap through 6 people until we get back to the first person!! So we follow one person, until they bump into another, then follow that person until they meet someone else and so on until we come full circle back to our original character!! Pretty clever right!?

We have sorted everything out, locations, props characters, THE LOT so now all we need to do is film and then edit it.... lets see how that goes....

Production Practice- new assignment PEOPLE ON THE MOVE

This assignment is to create a short film showing a journey.
Our groups got a few ideas going on but so far the most popular one is a story shown through only showing shots of peoples feet, no head shots or anything! My God we know how to make things difficult for ourselves! Not yet sure what the actual story is going to be but we are liking this feet idea :)

Contemporary Media Issues- WIKI MAKING!

Well this was my first time making a wiki, everyone brought an article in and teamed up with people of similar articles to create a wiki that would link them all together.

I had an article about google TV and joined the group about issues int he media as google TV represents a way in which we can engage with TV in a new way, combining two media powerhouses and countless other platforms, I discussed some of the issues this might raise


This is the link to the thread I added to our Wiki:

Production Practice first assignment

NINJA TIME

Well the ninja storyboard was great, looked brilliant and I think we conveyed the story pretty well

heres a few little ninja pics....

  

Heres the feedback we got after :

First assignment (Production Practice)

MAKE A PHOTO STORYBOARD!!!!

Sounds dead easy but in reality its quite hard!
We had a few varying ideas but settled on this one:

"Pop quiz gets announced in school, three daring students dress up as ninjas and break into the university to steal the answer sheet the night before the exam and then ace it!!! Apart from the token idiot of the gang haha :)"


Pretty good idea I think, funny and exciting, loads of opportunity for some great artistic photos... plus we get to dress up as ninjas ;)

lets see how it goes.
