Pop Culture: Everything I Ever Needed To Know I Learnt From... [Thurs, 1st Period]
"Morning, kids," Oz greeted the class cheerfully. Perhaps too cheerfully. "It's time for your final."
"See, remakes and adaptations are a valuable and lately very noticeable part of pop culture, they take existing stories and redo them, and whether they choose to update the details of the original or do them as period pieces, they will always in some way reflect the times and culture that makes them. So, for your final, you're going to take a story, something you personally consider a classic of some sort, for good or bad reasons, and you're going to write a pitch for an adaptation or remake."
"Your pitch can take the story and details in any tack you like and translate it across any media you like, but you have to explain the impact your decisions will have on the story, how it changes it. Then if anyone is feeling particularly proud of their ideas, they can present a high concept pitch, that is distilling the idea to a paragraph or less, preferably less, to the class for extra credit."
"So start pitching."
