Tik-Tok Production

Part 1: Create three (3) TikTok videos that aim to “go viral.” Navigate the layers of meaning that are embedded in the platform’s latest trends, and develop a series of videos that you can use to contribute to the ongoing conversation regarding TikTok’s growing significance in the world of social media. This assignment is not intended to evaluate your work based on the number of “likes,” “shares” or “adds” that your video manages to produce, but rather on the creativity and the degree of thoughtfulness that you invest in the final product.  Part 2: Write a paper that critically examines your TikTok productions. This paper must demonstrate your strong grasp of the methods that we cover in Module 2 – namely, semiotics and audience theory – as well as your ability to integrate conceptual or analytical tools and media content. The paper must be 1,200-1,500 words in length, not including bibliography. It MUST abide to the MLA citation style as found here: https://owl.purdue.edu/. Please note that MLA style includes in-text references, bibliography and formatting. Please use .docx format.
