Being the end of semester, here we are at the last assignment post BCM240 students are suppose to submit. It is quite a bittersweet moment; throughout the August session, blogging and cramping our brains to come up with something interesting to write about have somewhat became a way of life, and so quickly here we are bidding farewell to this habit we’ve grown into and to this hectic semester.
The last task at hand was to get involved in digital storytelling. Upon weeks of deliberation and research, my team mate, Christine, and I have finally agreed to produce a video about the Sex and the City fandom from our personal perspectives as we both are such fervent fans of the series.
It was an interesting topic to cover as we were so familiar with the materials in hand and we were able to relate to the comments made by other fans from all over the world. Linking and relating to fandom theories and concepts were also made easier as we were able to put ourselves under the microscope and ask, ‘is that really true?’
At the end of the project, we were able to identify that people watched this 90’s sitcom up till today, making it a cultural phenomenon that influenced the way women thought, dressed, led their lives etc because of its ‘human dimensions’. Fans related to the girls on screen when it came to men, fashion, career, and other daily issues.
Enough of words, let’s get to the juicy part..
