= = On wikis, you can easily display things; it's like a container to hold other types of media. A website is also like this. One benefit of a wiki is that you can display things using many different types of media, like videos, powerpoints, etc. However, a drawback is that it isn't the most exciting way to show your ideas. Readers can easily lose interest. The benefit of voice threads is that you can communicate with people directly. However, you have a time limit to what you can say, which is a drawback since you might not be able to say everything in that time.A video also has the same drawback. A video is an interesting way to present your project. Another benefit is that you can personally speak to the watchers. The benefit of a podcast is that you can talk directly with people. However, you can't show many things on a podcast, so it is'n't the most exciting method. On a conventional Web Site, you can include many things like videos, voice threads, etc. You can also design it to look more interesting. You can put links to other pages on your website and you can also make your website interactive. The drawbacks of this however is that if you include too many things, readers will get bored. You also have an overall time limit on your other types of media, so they can't be long and thorough. The benefit of a power point is that you can show information and your ideas to the audience in an exciting way wihtout having to use videos or podcasts since there are cool effects that you can do to your words and pictures. However, a drawback is that you can't embed certain types of media on power points.

=Design Brief= NOTE: the design brief is a document that goes to the designer and manufacturer that allows them to know just what you want them to create.

Summarize the Challenge
My projected audience are the people who are fans of books being made into movies or has been made into movies. My primary source for communication is to persuade criticizing fans to better appreciate the movies that were adaptations of books. Specifically, I want to show in my project that the reason why screen writers have to change many things is because they want to stress certain traits of a character or to be able to focus on new themes of the story. So, they have to use techniques such as crosscut, flashback, or dissolve. I want to show them why screen writers have to change things so they won't be so criticizing once they realize how hard it is to make a movie adaptation. The multimedia artifact I want is an imovie. I think it's the best for showing my ideas since it is able to include lots of information in an exciting way. I want the design to relate to movie and films to make it more exciting. For example, a border of a roll of film, or a picture of an Oscar statue. Also, there should be designs that relate to famous books.
