My Creative Project!

For my creative project I created another trailer about my topic. It displays the usage of social media (youtube in particular for this video) in the lives of those serving overseas. My trailer shows how they use it for both laughter and tears.

Creative Project Ideas

My ideas for the creative project are still being thought through at the moment. I'm not exactly sure what I want to do yet, but I have a few ideas floating around. I think it would be cool to make a soundtrack to my project, but it might be difficult to find songs that really relate to the topic. So that's something to look a little farther into to see if it would work. I definitely think I'll do more trailers with it because I enjoyed doing the first one and this one would probably be more specific than my last. Overall there's a lot to choose from so I need to look at all and see which ones would work best with my project.

My Video with XxtraNormal discussing my project.

A World Without Oil

I found this video about the cause quite inspiring and different. It definitely makes you think about what would happen if there was a sudden extinction of oil, or even about other world crisis that could happen. The site altogether was great because it was started by ordinary people all over the world. No big names where starting it or government lobbyist, just people who really care about the cause. Some people really enjoyed getting involved and it was described in the short video as being almost "a game" in some way for getting involved. The notes from people all over the world including our country were especially great to the overall cause as well.

253, The London Tube

I chose the work of "253" since I've been on the tube in London and thought it would be a better choice for me. It's an interesting way to look at the transportation system that millions of people use in London without a single thought. The work itself is very different from what I'm used to reading because it's so interactive. One can simply click on whatever section they'd like to jump to and see different things. It makes the work different for every individual that decides to read it. The Journey Planner especially is very interesting because there's so many different people on each car and you can click on each of them to learn about them. I would say overall this work is very similar to the London tube itself. At first it looks a little confusing and hard to navigate, but it's clearly marked and after a short time one can easily make the trips needed to get to the destination.
