You are to devise a plan to get noticed by 'normal' media. The tute task for week 5 consists of the planning and research you undertake to be ready to produce your news story/public report/local update (whatever it may end up being).
This was my least favourite of the tute sparks and exercises, and I think it shows in the quality of the piece. We spoke to a couple of the other groups and they had really good ideas which I think sort of put our group off a bit. Obviously we couldn't just steal their ideas and we wanted to get the filming/photography finalised in the week 6 tutorial as there was no other time we were able to meet.
Our culture jam was aimed at showing the growing dependence we have on the internet, specifically regarding academic studies, and the fact that we basically freak out if the internet isn't working. How does anyone survive without the internet?!
The slideshow is made up of still photos and 'statistics'. It is obviously a hoax and no media would ever pick the video up. I do think the story idea has potential but just wasn't executed very well.
We had trouble uploading the video to the CNN iReport website but I have uploaded it to YouTube and embedded it below.
