Day 22: More with Multimedia

Today, I just wanted to share a couple more examples to inspire you.


I love this example, because it deals with an issue using a particular medium, which is closely related.  It's clever, and the concept is simple; although, it wouldn't be simple to make necessarily.  It's a video that basically uses a poem, and some text, and some images in interesting ways.

Here is another narrative based game with nodes using Youtube for the television show Homeland: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1qCW2gnkbE&feature=plcp.


Heck, some sixth graders made this an alternate reality game: http://juliemcleod.org/1destination/index.htm.  If sixth graders can do this, you can do this.

Here is a run down of the elaborate Dark Knight viral game/scavenger hunt where The Joker even asked the participants to purchase cakes with cell phones baked in them hidden around the country...


Or this crazy site--http://www.scariestthingieversaw.com--that was developed for the Super 8 film.


These are rabbit holes into really wonderful and complex worlds that do something to us.  Why is it that a secret is so persuasive?


Media are amazingly powerful rhetorical tools.  Use them well!

Your Daily Assignment:


Keep working on those projects.  Our last day of class is coming soon.  They'll be due on then at midnight, which will be here before you know it!


Finish up your own little minimovies for Monday, and they aren't due until midnight.  


And the extension for your final draft is for today.  Try to get it to me before the Olympics opening ceremonies tonight!
