This week’s work on the final project included creating two aged images, two pieces of audio service announcements, and one gif, in addition to numerous tweets that help make the overall story more cohesive. In addition to my work on the final project, I completed my advice post for future students. I focused my advice on promoting strategies that I feel make the workload more fun and engaging.
The full twitter account for the final project can be viewed here. Essentially I’ve created a page that impersonates Julius Caesar (as a character in Xena: Warrior Princess) that provides his perspective on Season 4 events. I found inspiration from the companion twitter accounts created for the web series Carmilla and the companion tumblr account created for the show Wynonna Earp. Essentially, fans of the show would be able to visit the account and view what can be considered another layer of storytelling. On this account, “Caesar” has tweeted a total of 22 times, which has included 4 pieces of image editing, 1 piece of video-editing, 3 pieces of audio editing, and 1 gif. His account itself can be considered a web assignment, and the whole project can be considered a form of fanfiction. I must say, some of his tweeting style may have been inspired by recent political figures… An example:
Xena attempted to assassinate me today and failed epically. This is getting ridiculous. #Pathetic #FindHer

Enjoy, and thanks for a great semester!
