Yesterday during Dr. Alec Couros’
presentation there was one thing he presented which has made we walk away
thinking about it enough to want to do something about it. We were on the topic
of how stories can be moulded and twisted until it becomes a completely
different story. He spoke about people taking movies and twisting them into a
different story and the example he showed blew me away. Shining Trailer Remix
is AMAZING!! They’ve taken the classic horror by Stephen King and twisted the
story to make it look like a love story.
After seeing this I’ve decided to speak to my
schools English coordinator to have this incorporated into the curriculum.
However if in the case of being unsuccessful, which I will not be, I plan on
attempting this on my own anyway because it was THAT awesome!
