For our content producer assignment, us as a group (myself, Stevie Day and Michelle Wong) are to produce a sophisticated media platform using the 'convergence media theory' as a guiding tool for this project.
We decided on a trimedia approach - using the concept of merging photography, film and radio to produce a piece of media for POOL. The only problem was to sourcing out a community or a 'tribe'. Rather than the usuals like photographers, item collectors, food lovers, film-makers, radio DJs, bands, we wanted to do something different. It boiled down between 2 'tribes' - buskers or street racers.
After much discussion, we decided on street racing. We felt that the illegal feeling of the topic made it even more exciting. It proved to be a hit with the other groups in the tutorial and it was encouraging to hear that they were supportive of it. Hopefully it will prove to be the same when we pitch it on Monday in lecture.
Here's to a fruitful production!
