Since I have done a mashup before, I decided to follow the steps I did it with last time. My steps were basically to pick a topic and look for passages, quotes, poems any piece that could connect to my major theme.The theme I picked was solitude and I researched some quotes I have heard but did not know who said them, and a book I am currently reading, which is Oliver Wilde's Dorian Gray. I did not intend to use it but there were things I read in the beginning of the book that really stuck and were pushing to get used in this assignment.
I first pieced together all the excerpts, quotes and all together in a way that would make sense and decided to use the reflections as connectors in places that did not have a smooth enough transition, or did not go into as much depth as I wanted. These were the most flexible pieces I had to work with because the sentences and thoughts were not fully developed so I had room to tweak to the direction I needed in the mashup. I kept rearranging things in the end and cut out others because I had more than necessary and they just did not seem to fit right.
