torture

As i said in class, the videos we watched, Dakota and Nukorea were torture. Nukorea more so than Dakota. For one thing, i think they should be reversed. the story line of dakota goes better with the video of of nukorea and the story line of nukorea goes better with the video of dakota. dakota was hard to read because it went by so quickly, to the beat of the drums. it wasn't quite torture because it wasn't that bad to keep up and the story wasn't nearly as disturbing as nukorea. nukorea on the other hand was 100% torture. the music was way too slow for the video. the only thing that kept my eyes on the screen was the changes in the sizing of the words. but even that didn't help because i zoned out a few times from the horrible music and how slow the words were going. but then when we thought we were safe, the words would zoom by before i had the chance to focus on the screen again. it sucked that this story had to go on for like, 10 whole minutes. i did not enjoy everything getting blown up and i certainly do not enjoy maggots. so i think the point is that i didn't like the story in general, even if it weren't set to slow music and the speeds didnt play tricks on us. because if it were on paper, it still wouldn't have been good. but i think people like reading digital stories better than reading books anyway. i am sort of glad i was one of the select few to be in class and watch the videos though, because i didn't even think of how technology affects literature in such a simple way as the MUSIC it is set to and the SPEED at which the words go by. if i ever want to do a digital story that will torture people, i now know EXACTLY what i need to do.
