For this project I chose to do an episode from Black Mirror “Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too”. I remember using this episode form another assignment for this class but I cannot seem to find it. Oh well.
I used a newspaper template from Canva and found a scene I wanted to write about on youtube. I chose one of the final scenes where the REAL Ashley is trying to get her life back and they crash a car into the stadium where the hologram Ashley is performing. I didnt was to catastrophize the hologram person because in the scene everyone is excited to see specifially Ashley Eternal, so society already knows this person is a hologram. So the big event that happens that disrupts everything in society’s eye is that the car crashed into the stadium and almost ran people over, so this is what I focused my story on. I then thought about the rest of the episode and there is a lot that happens with the character Ashley where she gets poisoned by her aunt and then is replaced by a character called Ashley O. In the timeline Ashley gets poisoned and then there is a time skip fo 6 months. Therefor, the first “read more” story I chose to do a “Where is Ashley” story. I figured I would want to know what is happening if suddenly my favorite singer/songwriter disappeared for six months without announcing anything. The second “read more” story I was on the sudden takeover of Ashley O after the first Ashley disappeared. I tried to make the timeline of events semi-clear by adding dates to the story of when it was published.
Overall, I had fun with this project. I enjoyed reading into an episode and making sure I covered the story in a way that is effective and entertaining for the audience.
