narrative and interaction

We had a group exercise the other day to focus on narrative and interaction. We all came up with a story by playing Chinese Whispers where each group thought of the next line of the story. The we had to photograph each line and make a new narrative from them. Also we had to swap one of our images with another groups via bluetooth. We also transferred our images from a cameraphone to the computer using bluetooth which was very easy to do, though I had no idea that computers even had bluetooth! Below is the original story and order.


There was a bang and the lights went out.
There was a shuffle and the lights came back on again.
There was a sausage with four eyes.
Then Michael Jackson came in the room and took his jacket off.

And an eagle flew in through the window.
Mike Ainscough was there aswell.
He's from Wigan and he got the sick's and shit's for Christmas.

Then he died. (another groups image)


This is the narrative reworked to make a different story.


Mike Ainscough, entered his dream competition,
from Apple exclusive to anyone with the name Michael,

to record a single

with the one and only Michael Jackson.

Mike's trip to the Never Never land mansion made local news.
Once he arrived at Michael Jackson's house he was greeted by one of Michael's servants- a rare variety of umpa lumpa.
Suddenly there was a loud BANG

A huge eagle smashed through the window and attacked poor Mike.
The eagle gave Mike bird flu and made him too ill to be able to sing with Mickael Jackson and his dream was ruined.
The End.
