Watching

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.
Thursday: I was heading to lunch and saw 2 people walking into the building and 4 people walking into the café ahead of me.
Friday: I was walking to class and saw 3 people in the lobby talking and more furniture was place in the lobby when the past days had none if any.

I noticed a few interesting points throughout this week that lead to my idea for my location based narrative. The first this is that the people I saw were rarely the same people. I would of thought that on Wednesday and Friday, the people I saw were the same people I saw on Monday due to those days being in a rotation of classes. The same idea carries to Tuesday and Thursday. Also that the furniture in the lobby often changes many times a week. I can assume since the main building of the LLC often holds events like weddings and banquets, that the needs of the space often changes. Now these two ideas somehow got me to think of my idea for my narrative.

My narrative is going to be a "Where am I" game where the follower or viewer can interact with a picture and guess where I am. I am thinking about including a riddle into it but I am not sure yet. I am still also deciding if I would like to have this on Twitter or Instagram but if you would like to play along please follow my Twitter @mitcherz35 to play along and for updates!

The Story of the Uknown World

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...

Telling a Lie

Hello Everyone, This week, my journal prompt is " Make up a really good lie about yourself to tell a stranger. Write a story to back it up". And well I thought about what I could lie about myself and whether I should go extreme or keep it simple. I decided extreme because as the saying goes, you can't make this up. Here is my story... I moved to Pittsburgh when I was five years old. My family we came from a small town in England called Gateshead. We lived near our family church, The Cathedral Church of St. Nicholas. But we had to move to the states because of my mom needed to help her family. When we first came to the states, my accent cause the kids at my new school to make fun of me that I eventually changed schools and forgot my English accent. At my new school, I did my best to learn an American accent and before I knew it, my English accent was a thing of the past. I feel guilty of hiding my true identity but I've kept it a secret for so long that my American...

Being Boring

Hello Everyone, This week the journal entry I chose was "Describe what I do in six words". This prompt took me a bit to think about because it made me think well what do I really do on a day to day basis. As a college student I do my studying but then what else? I play video games, watch movies, hang out with friends, etc, but when I reflect on it, I came up with what I do in six words... I am a boring college student. I think there is something to say about being boring. I enjoy the simple things in life, I just like to sit back and watch what is happening, that is not to say that I won't chase what I want but I'm not one to go and have a wild time out. I like sitting in my room with my friends and just talking and bs'ing the night away. I'll go out and have fun with them, but we don't go looking for fun, we just go have it. I think boring can be a good thing to be, I get my work done, I can manage my time affectively, and I can still have a great life....
