Update on Project and Remediation

Our project (Mackenzie, Mike, Meredith, and Jenny) uses several different types of media, but we present it differently than it was originally presented. For example, the focus of our film is Middle Eastern women's blogs--but the goal of our film is to give those women an actual voice. Therefore, the only audio, besides music, will be their blogs read verbatim. This is a type of remediation because we are taking something that was online text to audio on a film.

We are also using quotes by famous figures, statistics, and facts--but all as written text on the screen for our audience to observe.

We are using images and video clips of the events the women are talking about in order to give our audience images of the world these women are describing.
