Testing the MMP

Before you start doing your Design, you should devise appropriate test for your MMP. How would you know that your MM poem is effective and of appropriate quality?

I would show my MMP to others and ask for their opinion. Then I would make changes according to people's advices.

Multimedia poetry
Video poetry is a mixed media format in which poem, image and sound interact symbiotically. A well integrated poetry video strives to achieve a unity of mood with each factor enhancing the other so the synergy is more effective than the poem or image presented separately. The highly condensed nature of the poem provides the ideal scenario for a short film or video. Good video poetry integrates poem, image and music into a unified work of art.
