When you have a network piece to go through, it’s exactly like putting together a puzzle. You get all these bits of information and it’s up to you to put it together in a way that makes sense to you. With a linear story, you get spoon-fed the information in the way that they intend you to absorb the story. The pieces of information given in Patchwork Girl stand alone. Instead of “I need to know what comes next”, they illicit the response of “Wow, this is interesting, I want to learn more.” We link the networked piece together by bringing our own ideas into the story. We involve our own abilities of connectivity into the sequence of the piece, in a sense creating the sequence ourselves, our own unique and original order. When reading linear works, the story is revealed to the reader as he goes whereas with network reading, the reader must actively search for all the pieces of the story, then interpret their meaning on their own.

Networked vs. Linear
In a networked piece the importance is developed and created by the reader. There is no time line of events and specific map to be followed to create one overall meaning of the piece. The meaning or meanings are developed by the reader who therefore becomes the creator. Each piece is separate from the overall meaning and important in owns context to be able to develop an overall meaning of the whole. A linear piece can hold separate parts and each is connected in an obvious manner of some kind lending itself to the overall story. The cause and effect are eventually and easily identifiable leading to the predictable resolution.

Video Project In Class
Intro of video, shortly followed by my speech as the video of buildings plays out.
This will then change to the video of the first person speaking. (Probably done in the coffee shop) This will just be a brief introduction spoken by the person and myself. And then as the video plays out I will talk briefly about what is said. No background sound and no commentary aided by the interviewee.
From here I will go on to more clips of buildings. Not video clips but just actual clips. These pictures will be of only the buildings I am discussing and the people who are being interviewed. I will talk through this as the clips run through about the other two places; showing quick photos of each person as they begin to speak and/or respond to my questions.
Finally I’ll add some last minute video commentary, and clips of the video, probably done in the warehouse area of Southside, my last area. I’ll provide background noise, not too loud, but to add to the effect of where I am and what I’m discussing.
The last image will be of the three places that I have chosen. (Southside warehouse markets, 61c, and Carnegie Museum) And I’ll have the sound drone out about here.

Image: Completely black
Soundtrack: Classical (jamendo.com)
Voiceover: What do you hear? How do you hear it? What emotions does it invoke; what images does it bring to mind? Or would it be a better question to ask what the producer of the music intended for you to hear?
Soundtrack: Abrupt stop.
Voiceover: Ah, yes, that’s something one rarely thinks about when they pop in their favorite CD. What was the intention of the author? Musicians in Pittsburgh have a story to tell, but how closely are we listening?

Soundtrack: The song they’re playing.
