An update about the lack of updates

So lately I have not been posting anything. This is because I had final exams and projects, and last week I flew home where I've had family obligations to attend to.

But alas, this is the final week of my thesis project. Luckily I got a little bit of extra time to finish. Honestly I was overloaded with the amount of school work and job work I had to do but now I have a lot more free time to focus. Hooray!
Sorry but no image for that one because googling for images about focusing just gets me a bunch of pictures of the damn car.
To kick things off I think I should probably employ one of my many talents - list making. Time to figure out what I have to do this week.
1. Litvestigation - Yea, I know. I have to finish it. I'll get there.
2. Another video? - If I have time I'd like to make one more. Unfortunately I do not have access to all of the gadgets and gizmos that are available at my school, but I do still have a few tricks up my sleeves.
3. Bonus topics - I wanted to discuss the differences between analyzing a TV show versus a web show but it is not extremely pertinent to my thesis project (I mean it is but I can live without it). So this is another one that falls into the "If I have time" pile.
4. Make a new theory - This is the hardest part. I need to figure out a possible way to look at transmedia storytelling that is more effective than The Scene Function Model. I can make a nice useful metaphor here but I am not quite sure what transmedia is similar to. Or at least the LBD project in particular. Things swerve in and out so much, which makes mapping it very difficult. But I'll keep brainstorming.
5. Conclude - After I propose my theory and make a metaphor I will need to conclude. That shouldn't be too bad.
Ideally I don't have much left of the mandatory stuff and I will just have to gauge how much time I have for the bonus material. I also wanted this to be a project more heavy in the transmedia (utilize social media and video more) but this was an experiment after all.
Until next time. (Which should be soon!)
