The Speech Bubble

Hello Everyone, This week in class we are talking about location based narratives. A location based narrative is a narrative that uses a certain location to help tell a story and engage the viewers. So our assignment is to create a location based narrative. To help come up with an idea for this assignment, I turned to the weekly journal post which I chose sit/stand/document the same spot each day for a week. The spot I chose was the main lobby of the Living Learning Center (LLC). I documented this spot each day when heading to class or to lunch in the LLC café around the same time. I will break it down by a list below. Monday: I was heading to class and saw 3 people. Two were heading to the resident side of the LLC and one was going to the café. Tuesday: I was heading to lunch in the LLC. I didn't see anybody in the lobby when passing through. Wednesday: I was heading to class and saw 3 people standing over the news papers and 2 people were walking into the building. Thursda...

Hello Everyone, This week's journal entry is to make a poem out of newspaper headlines. Well I am not one for poems but here is is...      Pitt-Johnstown recruit adjusting to the states      Backpacks assure weekend calories      Lodges' renovation noted at meeting      Ticket rubbish may cost $180 I took these headlines from the Pitt Johnstown paper from October 11th 2017.

Then we had the complete a project where the only original idea we used was the project it self and how to put it together. I made a motivational speech out of famous video game quotes and edited them together to make it somewhat coherent. This was my first time video editing in the sense and I enjoyed it gr...

Hey Everyone, This weeks journal entry was write a fan letter. So I wrote a fan letter to Bill Gates. I would just like to ask him how he got his big idea and what that felt like. But I would like to talk about my creative narrative in this blog. My narrative was telling a story about Commander Farsight and his adventure in a new world he found himself in. Now the interesting part is that I completed the narrative on Twitter with the help of my followers. I did the story on my second Twitter which I hope to expand my followers and eventually turn into a tech news and gaming news source, but I digress. I would like to tell you some of my experiences of this narrative and my overall thoughts about it. I had fun this this project, it was nice to tell a story that I didn't have any real limits. I was able to take it anywhere I would like but I had help. My Twitter followers were able to participate within this narrative by being able to vote where the story went next. Based on th...
