met to discuss ideas for the topic of our presentation. Unfortunately Kendra was unable to attend due to circumstances beyond her control, which has been understood by the group.
The main focus of our meeting (besides completing this week's portfolio task) was to discuss our ideas for our presentation. After much deliberation the group settled on the theme of Fan Communities and their creative output.
Collectively we decided that amongst academics the topic of fan creativity has failed to be studied in much depth. We have decided to look into the way fans actively respond to media by looking at online forums. There are several questions that need researching. What is the value of the fan fiction and art that fans post online? Does this alter or influence at all ,the way the programme is made. And what do people use fandom for?
We decided that in order to examine this topic further we could look at many different aspects of the media ranging from books and magazines to films, TV and music and decided that our task before next week was to each pick an example of one of these types of media content and join a 'fandom' forum based upon it.
This pretty much sums up this week's festivities... and what do we have to show for our efforts ? Photo's of course !!!!
Deep in concentration...
Leanne makes 'The pyramid of cultural power' cool !
What an attractive bunch we are !
