Creative Gallery

| |
So far in my Creative Gallery, I have created a Twilight GoogleMap as well as a YouTube video that adds to the expansive collection of Twilight videos on the site.

With my Creative Map, I have a majority of it completed. The purpose of the map is to provide user-generated snapshots of some of the important events in the first novel. The places may be visited at any order, and provide just a brief detailing of some important events. I have added pictures to each place, further combining text, images, and interactive features into a multimedia creation. I believe that the pictures add to the overall work, I just need to now refine and finish each place to make sure I have the semblances of a story.

The Google Map is almost complete, but I still need to work on my video. My goal is to have it almost three minutes long, but as of right now it is incomplete at only 1 minute in length. I would like for it to be a parody, using music, images, and texts to dramatize the saga in a comical sense.

As of right now, I am having difficulty finding the images to use. In my mind, I know exactly which image I am looking for, but with keywords and image searches, I'm not finding what I'm looking for.

It's good to hear how far along you are!

For these images that you're searching for, is there a way you could get these yourself (like taking screenshots from the movie)? I'm not sure how legal that is, and I am also running into the same problems with my video on Harry Potter.

I think the google map is a good idea, mainly because it puts in context where everything was taking place. I like that you are trying to make your video a parody, and I think it will work well.

Are there certain websites that might have the images you need? I'm sure there are hundreds of sites dedicated to the movies and books, but maybe try fan art or something similar.

I think you are on a really good track so far! I saw some of your Google Map in class the other day, and it looked like you had a really good idea, as I have seen Twilight I can really visualize what you are going for.

I am also looking into making a short video, your idea seems good so far! Maybe even collaborate snips of other youtube user's Twilight Videos. I think I might also try to make a short video just collaborating random secrets together, accompanied by text and music.

Great work so far, good luck. Looking forward to your results.
