more thinking

I've been thinking more about my project and I'd really like to explore using digital cameras, recording people and cutting the segments to "alter" my message. I think that doing the color scheme, it would be interesting to find out in a particular color area how other people respond to it and then cut and paste the commentary to create an effect by me (author). I want to humanize the peice while allowing for interpretation. I was thinking about the idea of interviewing various people about what they think of when they think of "purple" or what they imagine (I'll have to think more about what the question should be) and then having these varied and interesting responses to a simple word. It would be intriguing to take a sort of talley, and depending on my results portray a message to the audience. I'd like to work with different types of cameras and recording; I can't wait to work with imovie in class. I don't have much experience so I am excited to learn.

I like the idea of doing something in the group along the lines of "color" scheme. I think that it allows for individual creativity while connecting other possible individual themes. Theme wise I like the idea of integrating the personal and creative in a collective peice. Right now though, It's a little too early to tell exactly where the groups are going. I'm interesting in something aesthetically appealing, but also a peice that speaks to emotions and reality, so I'm still in the process of thinking about possible directions.
