Week 5 & 6 - Tutorial task

Since this week were all about Culture Jamming and its impact on the world, the task given was to make our own. In a group of four (Mia, Angela and myself) we started thinking about the best way of getting CNNs attention. Mia did not attend this tute, so the two of us began searching the web for material. After brainstorming and writing down several ideas, we could process it and come back to it the next day. We spent some time during the week and tried to figure out how to get CNN to contact us. The group figured that it would make most sense to use a celebrity or a case that was in the wind at the moment - this way it would seem more believable.

In the next tute I was sick, so Mia and Angela had to shoot the video for our story. They went to Angela´s house - this way the location was "real" - and shot some raw videos that Mia and I are going to edit and post on CNN iReport very soon.

This is our story-line:

Yesterday the Gold Coast Bulletin recieved a letter from a Miss Gretel Anderson, a former body sculpting champion, who claims to be having a relationship with the current priminister Miss Julia Gillard. Stating that she was sick of being left out in the cold by Miss Gillard and to feel ashamed about her sexuality, because it has never been acknowledge publicly. Miss Anderson also states that there relationship has been an on going affair for over 10 years, and she hopes that by finally speaking out about there love affair will bring out the importance of sexual discrimination and maybe bring about the legalising of gay marriage rights in Australia.
