For my final project I will be mixing mediums together on a web design site recommended by Kelsey called Atavist. I will be recreating the few Summers I spent at Hatteras Island in the Outer Banks. Atavist will be the main canvas to build a collage of media, which will include text, a remix video, and photos. The video will be a remix of different videos that include the activities I used to do while at the beach. It will almost replicate a travel commercial, but won’t necessarily include scenery from the Outer Banks, just the activities I did. The photos will include the actual beach landscape from Creative Commons Sources and will serve to compliment the video and text. The text will be pieces of non-fiction I have written/will write about the outer banks or the activities I used to do.

My final project will serve as a creative expression with web design as well as a redo of my favorite project from the semester. I really enjoyed making the video, and I think I can reuse my most successful techniques to make the video really fun to watch. I also won’t be trying to have an agenda like I did with he last video, so I hopefully won’t make the same mistakes with lame/off-beat clips. I’m going to put the video to the sound of the song “Amber”, by 311. It was my ultimate beach Summer song, so this web page is going to be a nostalgia bomb.

I’m hoping the progression of the webpage will be in the timeline of a typical day at the beach, which included waking up late, skim boarding in the morning, lunch, long boarding to the surf shop and local gas station for candy, and then ice cream in the evening before stargazing at night.
