Mashup Assignments

Mashup Those Movies

Take elements from multiple movie posters and mash them up into one. You can change anything- the caption, the title, the main image, etc. Lastly, make it seem like it could be a real movie.

Crossover Battle Royal

Have you ever been asked a question like, “who would win in a fight Batman or Spiderman?” Do you feel like the answer to one of these questions is so obvious to you but not to others? Show people your choice then, take two fictional characters from separate universes and create a scenario of what their battle may look like. You can use any media format to present this battle: image, video even audio if you can somehow make that work. Here’s my example depicting Kisuke Urahara vs. Marian Cross: http://vimeo.com/41235764

Parallel Plot Media Mash Up

Take two different types of media which share a similar plot line and mash them up to better express the story. For example, use the audio from a book on tape and the film form a movie adaptation of the same story or maybe cut between two TV shows with episode that share a similar story line. It’s up to you, just explain your thinking!

Buffalax!

1. Find a video (music, newscast, etc.) in a language other than English.
2. Caption it in English.
3. ?????
4. Profit.

Just look at the example, for crying out loud.

Movie Trailer Mashup

_cokwr: Take your favorite movie trailer and mash it up with a different trailer to completely change the meaning of the original trailer. For example, if you have a funny movie trailer, give it the sound of a terrifying movie; or vice versa. You may need to clip the audio or the visual, use imovie and audacity to cut the clips to give you what you need. Good luck!, _cpzh4: Mashup, _cre1l: http://donuts56.wordpress.com/2011/04/17/mashup-finding-jaws/, _chk2m: duncandonuts56, _ciyn3: 125, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:
