There are a variety of interactive media that we have learned to do as a class. Throughout the class I have really came to appreciate the user friendliness of Mac computers when it comes to dealing with media- especially iMovie. I love having the ability to cut, split and otherwise mangle my own work and other people's work to make an argument- whether it be for or against what the media form was originally saying. Because of my new found fondness of iMovie I would like to do some sort of remix/mash up of NCIS for my final project. I have just finished a research paper on NCIS and I think it would be interesting to extend my paper into a non traditional academic medium(I stole the previous term from Dr. Malach). In my paper I analyzed each character on NCIS and discussed how each one represents seperate ideologies. In this project I was thinking of analyzing one character, most likely Ziva or Gibbs- and maybe adding some music. I could also do a mash up of all the characters and showcase their stark contrasts. I noticed while doing research for my paper that there is a ton of fan culture stuff that I could just go wild with- but connecting that to my previous ideas might be a challenge. I would like to work alone unless there is someone else in the class that knows a lot about NCIS. I realize this is a very infant idea, but the topic is something I have commited a lot of my time to this semester. On the other hand I could do something completely different- like maybe do a mash up of sexual connotations Scrat (the squirrel) in Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and another movie that is recognized for having some very adult sexual content. Here are a couple clips-one from NCIS and one from Ice Age.
