Final Project idea

For the final project I’m going to take the media route instead of writing a paper. As tempting as a paper sounds, I feel like some type of media project would be a fun way to approach Whedon’s work. Also, I like working with video and editing and since I didn’t get to do that in the group project it’d be nice to work with it for the final project. That being said, I’ve decided to dive deeper into the fandom section of the class and make a Whedon fan video. It will incorporate clips from some of his bigger works like Buffy, the Avengers, Dr. Horrible, Angel, and Firefly/Serenity, and maybe Cabin in the Woods. I was thinking of making it a music video of sorts, editing the clips to the song “Hollow Moon” by AWOLNATION. I chose that song because when I first listened to it it reminded me of a lot of Whedon’s characters and what they go through as heros and I think it’d be an interesting fit for his work. By making this video I’d be able to get a sense of how invested Whedon’s fans really are. There are a ton of fan made videos of Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dr. Horrible and pretty much all of Whedon’s work all over the internet. Whether good or bad they take a lot of time and hard work to make and I’d like to personally see just how far fans are willing to go to show their love of Whedon.
