Twilight Remix Videos and Multimedia Authorship

Creative Gallery for 11/12

| | 0 comments »
For the creative gallery, I will make a visual guide to my Twilight-themed project with Google Maps. In a small town in Seattle, I have marked the location of both Bella and Edward's house, the school, and La Push Beach. Users may click on these locations in any order, thereby learning the story of Twilight. However, since not all users will click in the same order, the story will be told in a sort of user-generated manner. Also, not the whole story will be told, only snippets of important locations.

My major piece for the creative gallery will be my own response to the videos on YouTube. I will use images, text, and music to tell a parodied version of the fist Twilight novel. By this, I will be responding to and commenting on the videos on Twilight as well as adding to this type of fan fiction video.

Creative Response to Topic

| | 0 comments »
For my creative response, I will most likely make a YouTube video. Since my central topic is based around "Twilight" YouTube videos, I believe that a video will be an appropriate medium by which to present a creative response.

Drawing from the lecture on detournment, I might consider transforming "Twilight" into a response and overview of my project, making it into a remix expressing my theories and thoughts about this particular type of YouTube video. Similarly to my slide show presentation presenting my theories, I could use mashed up and abstract images to showcase my project.

Another option would involve beginning my video with images of "Twilight," following it with a juxtaposition of central words and key ideas from my project. Rather than focusing on the actual story by Stephenie Meyer, I will present my theories through images and words that correspond to my topic. Drawing from the Buffy and Edward remix, I might consider using voiceovers and music to express my new ideas. For example, I might use a video clip of Edward, the main male vampire in "Twilight," saying that multimedia videos are the ultimate expression of remix culture.

Another possibility could be to rewrite the movies with my own plot line and story. Or, I could take an even more creative route by making a response to the "Twilight Puppet Saga" or creating my own version of the movie with friends and family.
