For my remix project, I will remix my first article, which exposes the effects of differential treatment by the government on the different clans of human society during the epidemic. My first idea was to find a lot of images on the internet, as well as some elements of the arguments I gathered, combine them and then I would explain them, but in this case the visual and aural representation would not be very satisfying. I think the pictures are still not enough to fully express my meaning, and inside my article, just reading the text may only get a slice of what happened, but not a more intuitive sense of its impact. So I’m going to make an iMovie, and I might improve some of the ideas in my article a little bit, make it more concise, and add some audio mixes to make it sound more comfortable. The video approach adds a lot of possibilities, using a combination of text and audio to make the content more creative and engaging, and I’ll show different examples in the video that focus on a general direction of the topic, and then make a summary at the end.
The change this will make is that it will make my article more attractive and the content of the article will be slightly overhauled. The content of my article may not be enough to fully show what I want to say, so I will add some extra content to make it look fuller. Nonetheless, it may not be as detailed as described in the article, but in the main it is a straightforward presentation of an important point. I think the video was the hardest part of the production process, and it took a lot of time to think about how to put multiple pieces of content together.
I enjoyed reading your thought process behind your choice of medium. It’s great you were able to assess that in order to convey your argument properly, images accompanied by an oral presentation were not enough. As you said, I also think the video approach will allow you to explore many creative and engaging outlets, which will definitely transform your article into something of your liking.
