Creative Gallery Progress
I'm in the process of working on my project still. I changed my idea to making a video with a bunch of people's twitter statuses, and making my own rhyming poem. I will use "thelongestpoemintheworld" as a way to search for people's statuses, then put together my own unique poem that hopefully makes sense. I am in the process of finding these statuses and arranging them in an order that makes sense, but i realized it is taking alot longer than i thought it would take. If i am able to achieve exactly what I want then i think my project will tun out really good, but on the other hand these next few days I am going to have to work really hard to find another statuses that will make sense and rhyme together and then put them into a video-like format to display. It's important to note that I am taking "printscreen" shots of each twitter so you actually see their twitter pages so i can llsutrate these are real twitter msgs and not jsut me making them up. It's going to be a real challenge to find all of these rhyming statuses but i think somehow it cna be done.

ReplyDeleteI think it would be helpful to you if you didn't concentrate on making the poem rhyme. I think you could still have a really interesting and exciting project even if your poem didn't rhyme and was more 'free verse.' Also, maybe the whole point should be that it doesn't have to make sense. If I remember correctly, thelongestpoemintheworld didn't necessarily follow a logical order, but it was still artistic and creative.
Good luck with the rest of your project!
I agree with Ashley, I think that you should focus on more of a "free verse" poem. As twitter really is so random, I think it would be okay for your video and poem to be quite random as well. I would also accompany teach tweet with a corresponding picture?
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Free verse will definitely save you time, and if you find cool rhyming ones then they will stand out if you put them in with others that don't rhyme. Pictures might be a good idea just to round out the idea. Even some generic/odd/disjointed images running alongside the text could be interesting.
