Collapsus is a cool website. It combined different media creation together in one website. What I see is, um, it has animation, video production, gaming, and …well many different kinds of media together. When we entered this website we will see a video first, and then it goes to animation. At the same time if we slash to the right there is some words and article. And also a short video. If we slash to the left there will be a world map, marked several people in it. This is a typical of trans-media. I think it was totally cool. I really like the first part, when I entered this website. And what everywhere we go, the video is always here. Anyway so this is not that cool. But really, I think trans-media works well in this website. They organized them well. The timing is great, like when we going to another topic of the video, you click to the right it also changed to another topic. By the video continuous, the world map also added things in it. We can see some place is colored differently.
I think trans-media is kind of trying attracting different people in different level or different ages. This is the benefit of trans-media. Take the collapsus as an example; young people will think it was totally cool, even this topic is about electricity. To some adults, watching the video and reading articles is better fit them. They have it to. This is the only benefit come out form my head now. To the opposite, I think trans-media will easily make people confused. Still, take that website as example, when we click all around, there are too much information. Too much media combined. If it is not well organized it will easily get people confused.
In this quarter, we learn many different things. Even we are in different major, I think Eric want us to know about how other media works. Therefore, in the future, when we work with different people to make a trans-media, we will know how to talk with them and well organized our work. So we won’t confuse our audience. Actually I really like the way that course teach. Even I don’t want to do different assignment, but it really helps. I am in a digital media major, for me I believe in the future I will do gaming or animating. The thing is the world is changing too much. Learn how different things work in different media, that way we won’t kick out from our area. Last time when I watching a movie. I didn’t just finish the movie when the story stops; I see the last minutes, which has different names come out. I just notice, they actually have many animators work in filming, even though it is not an animation.
I guess this is how our future media works. Games, video, animation, all different media, can combined and make a new media style.
