Week 5 - tute exercise.

The tutetask this time is to go in groups and make a culture jam. Then we have to post on the blog who is doing what in the group, and how we are going to make the culture jam, and what it is about in week 5. The finished product, as I was told by the New Communication Technology team, is not due until week 9.

In the first tutorial there where hardly any people to make a group with, so I decided to wait until the next tutorial to make a group. But I started to do some research on culture jam. I found many interesting things, and idea`s. You can basicly do everything. Just not anything illegal of course. I am very excited about this project! So when I got in to the next tutorial I formed a group with Lisa, Sophie, Phill and Craig. And we started shooting idea`s. We are five people in the group, so it takes sometime to decide on something. But after a while, going back and forth, we came up with an idea with sharks. The way we came up with this idea is that we started thinking of what we can use in teh local area. And as we all know, here at the Gold Coast there are many channels where the sharks get in. This made us think about ways to make this a culture jam. Around the Coast there is shark nets, but there are some cleaver sharks that does not mind the net. So where thinking that we could make something that would "scare" people, something that would make the news. Because sharks are scary! And it attracks peoples attention. We came up with several idea`s of how we should do this, and I think the most of us where voting for the filming. We are all collecting information on how we could do this. So we are meeting up again to share the information, and start filming. We want to make something shocking that will attrac people`s attention, so we could make the news. My job is to search the web for shark stories, so that we could have a look at what people have did before, and accidents etc. That is everybody elses jobs as well, to search the internet for shark stories and gathering information about the subject. We haven`t really delegated the work, so we are all doing some research. We really want to do something great! So we are putting a lot of effort into making a great culture jam!
