Up until this week we always had an idea what media items we were going to create to tell our narrative, however this week we planned it more in depth. We firstly cleared up with Dan if you count each media outlet individually or as an umbrella group. E.g. we had several social media accounts and we weren’t sure if we had to count them each as a platform or social media as a whole.

Even though Dan told us that social media is one platform on it’s own, we decided to cull our social media to just the Blog and Facebook. This way the information isn’t spread as thin and it’s easier to locate information.

I started to make a list of all the real-world items we needed to start making to then upload to the blog. I started working on the articles, and also created an insignia for the society from 1901. Aidan and Bec created some posters to put around the RMIT campus and Melbourne CBD. And Jeremy made an interactive map where the bodies from 1901 where found, staff and guest lists from the parties and letters between the characters.

It’s cool beginning to implement our planning. There has been so much planning involved and it’s starting to make more sense to me now that it’s all coming together – I can see the theory from our readings in the start of the semester being put to effect.
