My Interview with Saquaya

Round 1
1. Why are you doing the project? What is important about it? How do you expect it to turn out in the end?
My goal is to show a representation of Brooklyn and its natural beauty. Growing up in Brooklyn, I feel like it has a bad reputation and I would like to open people's eye to the beautiful, less gritty side of my borough.
2. What actions have you taken so far? What do you still need to do? What will be the evidence you produce? How do you plan on collecting data? What obstacles or roadblocks do you expect to encounter?
I have began setting up with my crew and I have taken a few shots of an abandoned building in my neighborhood and also a park. I have also edited a few shots that I have. I still need to complete at least 40 shots and decide exactly which ones I want to use in my gallery. The roadblock I have been facing is working around my own schedule and the schedule of my crew.
3. What are some different ways you have been working?
I have been working with different light settings and trying to figure out how to shoot at night. Not much, but it's something.
4. What evidence have you produced so far? What data have you collected?
I have a small series of shots that can be presented at the present time as evidence of my work, but I would like to work more on them in editing.

Round 2

1. Have you met your goals? What have you learned so far doing the project? Have you learned something about yourself? I have learned that when given an ample amount of time to do something I tend to procrastinate, hence I work better with deadlines. I always thought that I was the kind of person who was better off without restrictions, but I guess I've changed.
2. Have you had to make any changes to your project or plan? Has your thinking about the subject changed? Would you do anything differently now? I initially had a plan to create a film made up of a compilation of short movies addressing the different issues that a teen would face during their high school years. Then I figured that since I love Brooklyn mostly for how it looks, why not show the viewers what I see.
3. Does the project still make sense? Yes, the project is still relevant because it holds true to what I wanted it be in the beginning.
