My Inspiration for Project 2

I wanted to have my tactical media project make a statement about the dangerous and confusing signage and construction in the Tri-Cities, because it seems like there are an increasing number of them recently, as well as complaints about roundabouts, bumpy neglected roads, etc.  My idea is to take videos of these questionable roadways and string them all together into a video that will help bring awareness to, and maybe inspire action concerning these issues  Since I will be filming already existing signs, roadway lines, traffic lights, etc, I think this will definitely address the idea of essentially using existing media tactically to make a controversial point.

     The video will be informative, concise, perhaps satirical to add interest, and should be at home on the news feed of someone's Facebook, YouTube, or Twitter feed, for example.  The kinds of videos that inspired me to use this approach are Buzzfeed videos, which are [usually] viral videos that creatively satirize or emphasize truths from daily life.  The aesthetic of these videos is a little different from what I will be using because they have a clean, bright, professional style, and I am thinking mine will look a little more casual and be shot from a first-person view, and maybe even add some shakiness to indicate confusion or fright.  Those are my ideas and I am excited to begin filming.
