I am planning on making a 3 minute TikTok that will help show my arguments and the texts I used for my Research paper.My research paper focused on the emo sub-genres of hiphop and how they affect their listener.I believe that a TikTok can help make this project more relatable since TikTok is something that we use on a regular basis, which would help make this project more casual.

I am trying to show my audience how listening to these more emotional genres can help the listener feel like their problems are accepted and also make them feel like they accepted some where.Remixing my project won’t affect it that much since I feel like it will just enhance it for the people that aren’t familiar with topic.I feel like visuals are important since they allow people who are not familiar with the topics to still be able to understand everything that I will be talking about.Also this is my first time doing something like this some I am excited to see how is going to turn out.

For the remix project, I am making a slideshow presentation with voicover narration. I am choosing the topic from my first paper about neoliberalism. I want the presentation to be both informative and argumentative. I think a slideshow is good for showing visual information that has to do with neoliberalism, and I can explain the issues with the voiceover.

The plan for the presentation is to expose the truth about neoliberalism, and how the push for it hurts and exploits working class people, who make up most of our community. I also want to focus on the hypocracy that comes with neoliberalism, promises that it will benefit us all, while it hurts the most vulnerable.

Instead of just reading my paper, the presentation will provide more visuals, as well as audio that evokes feeling and emotion about the issue. Hopefully, this will push people to look at what’s happening in our city and in the country in general, in a more critical way.

I want the remix project to act as a mini video/audio essay talking about the exploitative push for neoliberalism (as my paper is also titled). Because this assignment is not long enough for me to do an actual audio essay/reading, it will be more like a teaser or a trailer for the video, covering some key topics, and propelling people to want to watch the whole video.

I think that this also makes sense in terms of my research for the paper and with neoliberalism in general. I cannot talk about too many issues with neoliberalism. However, in the hypothetical audio essay, many of the issues I don’t discuss in my paper would be covered for the listeners.

 

For the upcoming remix project, I am going to remix my research paper on Breaking Bad and how it became so influential (as well as what conditions led to it being so unique in the first place). While I am not entirely certain how I will be doing this project, I have narrowed it down to two choices. The first choice I have decided on is a Google Slides presentation featuring pictures relating to my paper and maybe even a short 30-second video included at some point in the presentation. The second option will be making my own video where I might even do a voiceover (no promises there) summarizing what I argued in my paper. As to how I will specifically present these ideas, that is still up in the air. By far the biggest challenge that comes with this project is trying to come up with concrete ideas for how to execute my presentation. With only 3 minutes to present, this adds an extra constraint.

The main reason I want to tackle this project is because of my infatuation with the show and its universe. The show’s writers did a good job ensuring there is a lot to explore, which I already did with my paper, which is why I want to use my research paper for this project. Considering the short length of this project, I will probably have to cut out some things I brought up in the paper (such as the show’s moral compass and cold opens) to make room for an overarching point, although I hope I can cover at least one new thing I didn’t discuss (or just overlooked) in my research paper.  Since Breaking Bad is visual media, it just makes sense to incorporate my own visual media for this remix project.
