Day 1

Today was our third day in New York. In the morning, we went a very pretty art store that has basically everything we need for our poster. We got brushes, crylic set, oil paint, beautiful collage paper, and a huge canvas board. After that we went to buy some camera equipment and headed home. We tried to organize our stuff and designed how we want the poster to be like. We need to glue the color paper on the canvas board but the question is that the glue spray has toxic fumes so we can’t do it inside our room. However, we figured this out by just going down to spray it on the street—unexpected but so much fun. After we’re glued the color paper on the canvas, we went up again for the next step. Jack decided to work on setting up the camera, while grace and I started putting letters of our title “love in nyc” on the canvas. Since then on, we kept discussing about the poster design and the plans for the following days.

weekly reflection #1

  It’s already the end of our first week doing our senior project in New York City. It felt a bit unreal but here we are halfway through our journey. Before going on this trip, I was hesitant and nervous about what would happen in New York because every time I went to New York, I always became overwhelmed by its chaos. I was also scared of getting rejected by people we tried to interview and then being shattered by our failed attempt.  Feeling uncertain but excited, our journey has begun. On the first day, we went to an extensive art store for art supplies for our poster. The store basically had everything we need, so we got color paper, a huge canvas board, sharpies, glue, collage paper, and so on. While Jack set up the camera and the microphone, Grace and I started organizing the product we’ve got and designing how we want our poster to be.  I remember on the first interview day, a sunny day, we went to Washington Square where there were many people just chilling in eve...

day 9

 Because we had a few arguments in the past few days, this morning we discussed the documentary's common vision. It is sometimes hard to have all three of us agree on one point, so we took a long time comparing and deciding. Finally, we came up with one solution: whenever someone has an idea, one has to say it before actually working on it to avoid wasting time. After that, Jack edited the documentary, while Grace and I started working on the poster. Yesterday, we realized that we need one more figure to be on the poster because there's still space. So today we went over the interview clips to choose another girl that fits our theme, draw her out, and write the scripts. And we also redid some sketches and narratives for our poster.  today's work hours: 8.5 hrs total work hours: 75.5 hrs

day 4

 Today we went to Times Square and tried to do some interviews there. I used to think that it will be the easiest spot for the interview due to the number of people there are on the square. But the thing is that it's so crowded and overwhelming that everyone is so busy walking and no one will stop for our interview. Therefore, we decided to go back to Brooklyn since there were fewer crowds and people are just chilling in the park. So after lunch, we went to Dumbo, a Brooklyn bridge park, for more interviews. The weather is so nice today that a lot of people were at the park today, so we gathered many good clips of interviews. At the end of the day, we headed home to organize the clips we've got so far and wrote down each of them with the name of the interviewees and their stories.  total work hours: 8.5 hrs
