i want to focus on gender for my final project...i still need to gather a lot more audio, and figure out a structure. so far, most of the stuff i have is from the same person i used for my aud. portrait....
I like all of the different short stories at the beginning. While listening I slowly realized that it became just one person's story. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I think maybe it should be multiple people's stories or just one person's....unless you can weave them together.
I think that you could go back and re-interview the people that didn't give you as much at first. I think that even though only one was very open at first, that if you pursue the other people's stories with different questions (maybe not pertaining so much to looks) or ask them how being mistaken makes them feel...or maybe if they want to be mistaken and would prefer that.....those things might be interesting. Keep at it, good clear signal, and good luck!
Very interesting approach, i think interviewing the people and getting feedback in the form of stories would be great, I especially like the one about the "line was long and so I went into the men's bathroom, and in there I saw Urinals and I freaked out and left"... it reminded me that i did the exact opposite thing, but i didn't freak out and leave, only did that when I came out and this lady walked in. Maybe try to stay in one direction with the questions so that you can make connections to everything at the end?. Or have people imagine themselves being the other gender.
I like where this is going, I think it's really interesting how you have all the people talking about their own experiences. What are you trying to achieve by the end of the piece? I think that should be the focus.
i really like this piece and how other peoples voices were used and not just your own voice. i think you could go into the picece a bit better b y having more of an intro but good job

ReplyDeleteyeah, i want it to have more than one person's story, but so far only one person had a whole lot to say...
