Week 1- Conspiracy Theory Research

Class Exercise-Creating a Conspiracy Theory in Partners

Drew some ideas on how to show the conspiracy theory

We tried to act out and visually represent a conspiracy with our partner as an introduction to the project. I guess that it helped to branstorm different ideas as a inspiration for the project. It could help to progress the progect in terms of creatively linking ideas together.

Independent Research for next session

I researched up both the moon conspiracies and dinosaur conspiracies, to be able to decide which one I wanted to visually represent as my Magazine editorial image.

Dinosaurs

Conspiracy theory 1
Dinosaurs were made extinct from the meteor that crashed into the Mexican peninsula because it created a dust cloud that blocked the sun. When the sun was blocked the herbivore's vegetation died causing them to die and with the herbivores dead the carnivores had no food and eventually died as well.

Conspiracy theory 2
Dinosaurs never existed and the fossils are made of different parts of bones from existing animals.

Conspiracy theory 3
Dinosaurs became extinct from the poisonous gas from the volcanoes. The poisonous gas infected the herbivore's food which caused them to die and with the herbivores dead the carnivores died.

Conspiracy theory 4
Dinosaurs became extinct from the meteor both land and water. Some survived through Noah's Ark ( 2 baby dinosaurs each).

The Moon

Conspiracy theory 1
The first moon landing was staged and never happened.
