My 20% Project Blog Week 2

This week we are planning to continue scouting for a spot to film. We hope to find out how to get better reactions from people. For example, this week will go out again and find more people to converse with. This means that we will be gathering experience, so that when the time comes to start filming we will already be experts and will be able to get the best footage for our video. Also we now have someone to film the video for us and also get some time in the video. This is good for us because it means that will always have at least two people in the video while one of us is filming. This week we will mostly be focusing on getting some experience on the actual conversations with people, and also looking for a way to upload our video once it is edited and finished. This blog is for people who are quiet and unsocial and they want to change that part of themselves. Our project will show these types of people how to do something awkward and realize that it isn't so bad to be yourself.

My 20% Project Blog Week 1


  Week 1

Our project is going to be about my partner and I conversing and doing weird things in public to show shy and embarrassed people how to become open and more outgoing. This week my partner and I went out to to the mall to get a feel for how the project might turn out. Some people were more than willing to converse, while others were grumpy and just ignored us. Even though the results are always different you have to learn to be comfortable with who you are and just be yourself. Hopefully this project will teach shy/embarrassed people to become more open and outgoing. We are expecting to learn not only how people will react to embarrassing stunts, but also how people will accept who you are as a person and your personality. For the next two weeks we are going to brainstorm our ideas and figure out the best possible way to show how to be more socially interactive.
