In our lecture today with Matt, he covered the effectiveness of universes and re-introduced the module to bring everyone up to pace with each other. Here are a few notes I had taken from the lecture:
- Share characters and settings with or without continuity
- Tolkien called it his "legendarium"
- "Is fan-fiction a stolen universe?"
- Sometimes authors engineer a setting for others (writers, fans, contributors)
- "retroactive continuity" [quoted from wiki] (often shortened to retcon) refers to the alteration of previously established facts in a literary work.
- Rules & divergence & convergence
- Dopamine & interruptions
- "discontinuity principle"
- The crossing of universes (E.T in Star Wars)
- Films within in films (Scene where in Pulp Fiction, the woman tells the story of Kill Bill)
- If I was to make a trailer for my film, it would be fine as a submission for this module
Today I sat down with Matt to communicate my idea to him. Though he was very hesitant and concerned about the project, I managed to effectively pitch him. In result, he accepted my idea after approaching another colleague (I think Annie). He said to me that I would need to work as a group, which meant I could only work with my other classmate who wasn't present in the class at that time.
One interesting piece of software I would like to check out and use is "Team week". It looks fairly similar to Google Calendar and hope that it will be easy enough to operate.
Here are the outcomes I would like to include in my final portfolio for now:
- trailer or teaser
- character profiles
- twitter pages for characters
- Facebook page for project updates
- website created specifically for the project
- leaderboard on website for "move counter" scores
- Evidence of Team week being used to communicate
- Potential release to smart devices similar to Totally Amp'd
The class went round in sharing ideas about what each person wanted to do.
I also used a presentation website called "Prezi" to create an online presentation after a mind-mapping exercise Matt got the class to execute. This really helped with what direction to work in.
