My thoughts in general: After watching the film, I went to the film's official website, http://www.bekindmovie.com, and found it to be quite fascinating. On the website, there are all the "sweded" films, a page where you can upload your own face onto a film poster, and a way to upload your own "sweded" webpage.
Here are two examples:
Sweded Ghostbusters Trailer
Sweded Robocop Trailer
My thoughts on application: This website was really intriguing to me because of the way it extended the film viewing experience. In thinking about media literacy, this use of media was interesting because of the way it employs a different medium to continue the experience of the film. Bringing this into the classroom would allow for discussion about the ways different media approach content to make it "its own." I think it would be an interesting assignment to have students create a webpage for a video that they produce themselves. This assignment would force them to think about how online content and a web-based medium alters their approach to their own creation. Thus, making them rethink and revise ideas for different media could initiate some good discussion about media literacy.
