Gullans Project 1-What is Electronic Lit?

My idea was to create a video with still photos to explain what electronic literature is.  I used a digital camera to take the pictures and I uploaded them onto the computer in sets. Then I put them in the order I wanted and organized it on imovie. The quality did turn out too great since I was moving the camera slightly when taking pictures and it sometimes make it harder to read descriptions. If I do something like this again, I should try to find a way to keep the camera still. After having written the “what is literature part,” I decided on a song and how I would organize the rest of the movie. I decided on can-can because it was a short song and I thought of this as something that would go at a fast speed. Though, part way through, it seemed to go too fast and it was hard to fit parts in that went with the music. My idea to organize this was to look like I was getting information out of the computer answering my question with a definition. I scribbled it out to show it in a more exciting way. My goal was to focus on describing three things, which were hypertext, interactive fiction, and computer games. Then I showed what they looked like. I learned that there are many different genres and styles for electronic literature. I found it interesting to view some of the hypertext stories and see how they worked.
