As the semester comes to an end, as does the workshops. This was the last workshop, Evolution, that brought us one step closer to the finalisation and evolution of our project, our character, and our storyworld.
During this workshop, we listened to the very interesting presentations of Emma Keltie, director of the Newtown Girls, who explained the process in which she created the series, and where it is at today.
Witnessing a young media student achieving quite brilliantly and getting back from the audience really motivates me in making my character work.
After that, we got to listen to the very interesting presentation of Karla Conway, about her "reality game": 35° 17 South. That makes players live a real life experience through a digital platform.
I think all these presentations just made me realise that the feedback provided by the people, their interest to the story and their involvement in the activities is the best reward you could get from this kind of production. And it makes me want to make my character as fun as possible, so that the students at UC can rely to him and be involved.
After these enlightening presentations, Emma did a recap about the sustainability projects at UC, talking about the UC garden development, the "Winter is coming" phrase to make people aware they have to dress for the weather, and we had to form groups and choose one of these subjects, find a quick idea and make a pitch about the subject we chose.
After these 10min reflexion, we had to present our ideas to the "jury" composed by the professionals of cross media.
Our group picked "winter is coming" came up with the idea of selling our body warmth, as a personal snuggle buddy ! You can book you buddie online, share him/her with your friends on social media and never get cold ! Just another silly idea we had fun coming up with. I guess it's a good thing we didn't get to present that in front of a jury ! :)
