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…

7. Text Based Adventures

My first idea will be to create a text based adventure from a story that I have written.  The purpose of this idea will be to expand the chosen universe and allow the reader to interact with the world being created.  The audience of this text will simply be anyone who enjoys text-based adventures or…

6: Remix Pitch

My best idea for the project is an interactive map of St. Petersburg, Russia. I would have a map with markers where I could have my own images from my semester there with my own travel notes/bits of nonfiction about experiences and what it’s like. I would have liked to find something like that before…
