Creative Commons greatly confused me at first. The only result I could find at first was images. I searches the word “crabs” and got 26 pages of pictures of crabs; nothing more, and nothing less. Eventually, I navigated to the advanced search feature. I unchecked results from their photograph database, which limited my options to…
7: Remix Project Ideas
For my first idea, I was thinking of remixing either a screenplay that I wrote or a short story/play in the public domain into a digital choose your own adventure story. I would create a variety of different places for the story to branch off in different direction. The purpose of this remix would be…
7: Three Ideas for a Remix
Yet again I had a difficult time deciding what to do for this remix project, but then I entered the Public Domain Review and the possibilities were endless. My first idea includes silent films and e-books. I’ve been studying silent films in my film class and realized that a lot of them must be interpreted…
Remix Ideas
My first idea is to take a short story that I wrote and turn it into a Twitter thread. A twitter thread is when someone posts a series of tweets that tell a story. I do not have a twitter myself, but I see these crazy threads all the time posted on Instagram. They seem…
Remix Pitches
Remix Pitches With all of my ideas, I am interested in projects that differ from the way that we talk about racism and the lived experiences of black people in America, especially on this campus. I want to highlight contradicting narratives that are being made on this campus, such as the fact that this is a…
Remix Ideas
My first idea would be an interactive map of Scotland that follows the plot line of Outlander. Users could go through a map of Scotland and click on different locations to learn more about historical events that happened there at the time of the show and give descriptions of the surrounding areas. The project would…
7: My Top 3 Remix Ideas
For my next multimodal project, I have recently brainstorm three ideas that I believe have the potential to turn into something great. I knew from the very beginning that I wanted to create something for educational purposes. More specifically, I wanted to educate people on African American hair. Even though society is progressing, there are…
7: Ruining Music for the Masses
The original texts for our remix are lyrics and music for popular songs, put into the same or similar chord progressions, then made into a music video of some sort. This was our first and only idea (which Alex proposed to me before I even started thinking about what to do for this project), but…
7. Short Short Hypertext Fiction
I have an idea to remix a short short I wrote last semester. The text itself is very ambiguous, so how I was going to remix it was to make it into a hypertext fiction. I thought about creating a video, using another person’s text. But I really don’t know anything about video making, and have…
7: Project 2 Pitch
My first idea was to create a video trailer for a collection of poems that I’ve written. The purpose of the trailer would be to promote the collection of poems. The audience would be people who enjoy reading poetry. I would use visual, aural, linguistic, and spatial modes in the video through the poem’s physical…
