Project Five

For Project Five I created a Facebook event in order to try and make a Alternate Reality game that people can submit ideas to.

The link is Facebook event and it has another link on it to a scenario that I invented and posted onto my blog.

I started thinking about this idea when Sandy mentioned Lost in class. The thing that always amazed me about the TV show Lost was that even though there are hundreds of hours of the show, the writers never actually reveal very much about what is happening "on the island," they leave what is happening up to the imagination of the viewers. My friends who are addicted to the show spend countless hours a week on the message boards about Lost looking up theories for what is happening and trying to find trusty spoilers for future episodes so they can know "what is happening" ahead of time. This is the type of universe I wanted to create, a universe so vague and confusing (although on a much smaller scale than Lost) that it is open to any number of different interpretations. I encourage people to use multimedia in their project, and to make it as off the wall and insane as they want. I already know several people who are working on it, and I'm hoping it turns out really well.
