Final Project: Abstract
Girls Having Fun: Creating My First Fan Vid
My final project this term will be in the form of an extensive blog entry that makes use of my earlier posts in LiveJournal as well as material created especially for the blog. I have chosen to use my blog created for my poetry class because LJ has character limits (one of its few flaws!) that the blog program does not. My blog post will be titled: Girls Having Fun in honor of the Cyndi Lauper song which was my first inspiration (but which doesn't seem to be making its way into the final draft). The post will include:
The final draft of the vid
Why I selected "fan vid" as my project for this course
Background information on the genre of fan vids
Background information on fandom
Background on the source texts and characters I use in my vid
Drafts of my work at different stages, with information on my process of revising
Plans for using writing with new media assignments in the sf core cluster and graduate course next year (where the assignment will be, basically, present an interpretation/re-mediation of an astronomically themed sf text in a new media form).
