7: One smallhttp://wordpress.susqu.edu/engl390/2018/03/06/7-one-small-pitch-for-men-one-giant-pitch-for-mankind/ Pitch for men, One giant Pitch for Mankind

For this project my partner in crime is Ashleigh Tomcics. Idea number one, the best on in my opinion, is a musical medley which is when you use the same chord progression to perform the different songs. As of right now songs that would be used are: I’m Yours by Jason Mraz, Hey Soul Sister…

7) Remix Ideas

  1st idea: I will create an interactive, hyper-text version of Molly McCully Brown’s collection of poems, choosing bits of writing from the entire collection and mapping them in interesting new ways. If the technology allows, I will create this on a background of a rough-drawn map of the Virginia State Colony, having sections of…

7: My Remix Idea

The idea that I’m most interested in pursuing is creating a video where I combine clips from the movie trailers from the 50 Shades of Grey series and break up the clips with text that gives statistics, quotes, and, possibly, personal journal entries on domestic abuse. At the end of the video, I was thinking…

7) Pitch: Interactive Imagery

To be honest, I did not have many ideas when we first started discussing this project. I originally wanted to turn one of my short shorts into an interactive create-your-own mystery game. However, after trying to find a somewhat usable website to create the game, I could not find any site that would do exactly…

7: Remix Brainstorm

I am working with Kay and Mitch to create a website that features our individual remixes of newspaper headlines on Trump’s presidential campaign. Idea 1: Interactive Map of the United States Purpose: This map will visually demonstrate the varying regional sentiments towards Trump’s campaign with hyperlinked images of newspaper headlines from major newspapers around the…

Sup Pitches?

Working as a team with Mitch and Emily, we will be using newspaper headlines to analyze societal reactions to the Trump Presidential Campaign. The audience would e anyone who’s interested in American politics, as well as media bias and representation of current events. I have two separate ideas as to how to remix the headlines. The…

7: Remix Project Ideas

Here are the three ideas I came up with for my remix project–the first one is my favorite, but I guess that the other two are slightly workable. I’m really not very good at brainstorming. A video about snowflakes Choose Your Own Adventure Shakespeare Web-text of love poetry/toasts to women 1: A video about snowflakes…

Tattoos, Sheep, and Bicycle Safety: My 3 Ok-est Ideas

My three potential ideas for the remix project are as follows: -I can create an erasure poem of “The Life and Adventures of James F. O’Connell, the Tattooed Man”, found on The Public Domain Review, and then write the erasure poem out with actual tattoos that people have received. This could either be using tattoos…

7: Remix Ideas

So far, all of my ideas are pretty nebulous at the moment. My clearest and most cohesive idea is to take Anne Carson’s essay “Kinds of Water,” which describes her journey along El Camino de Santiago in Spain, and remix excerpts from the essay (either recordings of someone reading the essay or just text from the essay) to…

7: Geographical Poetry Turned to Song

Back when I wrote poetry and took an Advanced Poetry class, I wrote a collection of fifty poems, each based in a state in the US. My number one idea for the project is to select multiple poems from this and turn them into songs. Play guitar, give the words melody, and record and mix…
