After doing some in-person brainstorming with my group, we decided to focus on if college works for the benefits of their students or against them. Since we all go to college and study the same major, we all related to this idea.
This idea seems extremely feasible, given our location and involvement in the University of Maine. All around us we have people that we could interview for our project. The best part is that almost everyone will have some sort of opinion on this. Since we have this huge access to people to interview, we can have many different points of views. I don’t think the topic that we picked will be too small or too large. Since it is almost necessary to attend college nowadays, almost everybody will have some sort of opinion on this and be interested in our video. The topic is bordering on being a little too big, but I think that we can handle it. The topic we’re investigating seems specific enough to not get lost in the big picture.
We should use emails to contact subjects to interview. These emails would generally be explaining what we are doing, what we are investigating, and asking if they would be interested in contributing. We would use these emails to communicate and set up appointments with professors or other people in charge on campus. For student interviews we can simply ask people to contribute in a public area.
We chose this project because we all relate to it and feel that college is working against us sometimes. We want to get outsider prospective and get an overview of what the University of Maine population thinks about it. Our team is made up of five people. Colby will be filming, Will Robertson will edit, Nate Reid will interview people and direct, and Will Herboldsheimer is the researcher/ logistics guy. I will be doing the audio. Most of the interviews will most likely be outside, but when we interview professors, we will most likely be in their office. The due date is quickly approaching, so we are intending to do all of our interviews and such in the next week.
