Today we shared out pitches in class for the transmedia project.

A project that really stood out to me was “Dodging the Bullet” about cat fishing on social media. It’s a topic that’s really relevant in today’s society and that I find really fascinating. It’s a modern day thriller. I love how social media is used, and the screen captures of a computer tells the story. It reminded me a lot of a trailer for a new film filmed completing using screen captures and Skype videos called ‘Unfriended’. (CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE TRAILER). Another plus was the music and the suspense created throughout the hovering over buttons and such. Really well presented!

In terms of our pitch, I wish we had a little more time just to make our parts a little more cohesive. I do agree with a lot of the constructive criticism that our group was given. I do feel like we have a bit too much content and could do with cutting some out. I guess it’s hard to make everyone in a large group happy, so putting something in that everyone wants was an easy way to satisfy everyone. However I think we all should have a meeting and discuss what cab be culled. Personally I agree with the idea of scrapping the video logs as I think that can all be said in the diary (yes I am a bit biased because I’m excited for this section of our project). However I think it would add an air of mystery to our project if we get rid of Connor all together.
