Day 6

Starting off a new week, my group spent a whole day working on our poster and documentary. Claire and I finished off our sketches of our interviewees. After being satisfied with the sketches, we painted them using acrylic paint. Our idea for these sketches was for them to look cartoonish and animated but still resemble our interviewees. We spent almost the entire day on this as we had 7 sketches to work on. After finishing the paintings, Claire and I began working on the writing for each of the interviewee's stories. While Claire and I worked on the poster, Jack made progress on the documentary. Jack realized we needed more B-rolls, so we went out to film to finish off our long workday. 


Total work hours: 7.5 hours

Total accumulative hours: 50 hours

    Love the idea of cartoonish sketches. Look forward to seeing this.

Day 2

Today was our first day of interviews. We decided to do two rounds of interviews: one round in the morning, and one in the afternoon after lunch. The overall consensus was that we were all very nervous. None of us had done public interviews like this before and were all anxious to come up to strangers. We were anxious about being turned away, discouraged, and were overall intimidated by the idea of talking to strangers. However, the beautiful weather in NYC today helped put us all in a great mood and made us feel much more relaxed.  We started our first round of interviews at Washington Square Park. We started by walking around the park to see if there was anyone approachable enough for us to bring up the courage to come up to. Our goal was to interview a wide range of people: different ages, genders, and races. Most people in Washington Square Park were young college students which made us feel much more comfortable coming up to. I saw a girl sitting on a bench with a book and dec...

 Last day of Senior Project!!! Today was a travel day. We went 4 hours by train from NYC to Boston, and 2 hours by car from Boston to Proctor. It was a crazy and tiring day. Carrying the huge canvas and our heavy suitcases was exhausting. On the train, I worked on the reflection paper and continued to work on it when I got back. Finishing the paper was also the last thing I needed to do for the project. Finally, all done.  Total project hours: 1hr Total accumulated hours: 88hrs

Day 9

 Getting closer to the end of Senior Project, our products are finally coming together. In the morning, my group had a final meeting to go through all of our interview clips and decide on which clips make the cut and a final storyline for our documentary. For the past few days, we struggled with poor organization as we didn't have a common vision for our products, especially the documentary. We had a few arguments over the past few days and that took a lot of our time. After spending the entire morning on the meeting, we finally came to a final common vision that everyone agreed with to avoid any future confusion and arguments. We also decided to make adjustments to which interviews make the cut, resulting in Jack having to make adjustments to the documentary, and Claire and I had to re-do some of our sketches and narratives. So, that took the rest of our afternoon---poster work and documentary editing.  Total work hours: 8.5hrs Total accumulative hours: 75.5hrs
