Our idea is to basically intertwine a group of people and individual experiences into A documentary that shows the necessity of global awareness and how being a part of the world at large can individually effect people in such different and yet the same way. In the process we will film and document the experiences of each person through confession room like interviews and personal reflection times, weekly video diaries, blogs, really any form of contact we can establish to develop an in depth story of each person. We hope that through getting in contact with these people we will find and create connections between each situation that will support our global awareness/ global compassion goal. We plan to get in contact with people, thinking about studying abroad, currently studying abroad, and people who have studied abroad recently. We will follow these people and ask key questions to link each individual story to our larger picture and in the mean time witnessing the changes people undergo through these experiences.



First project blog:

January 31st.

My partner, Jimmy and I met up at Dutch Bros on Friday to get started on our project... Finally. Up until this point, we honestly hadn't really done much except talk about how good the project can or cannot turn out.

Upon our little meeting, we discovered a few key things: who it is exactly we need to talk to (that is, interview) and about what. Between Jimmy and I, we have many many names of people who are a)about to travel abroad b)are currently abroad or c) have traveled abroad. This is what we need. We also chatted a little bit about the layout of the documentary and the different elements we want to add in to make it aesthetically pleasing and emotionally gripping.

I feel good about this, mostly because Jim and Joc have some pretty creative juices- if I do say so myself. Our first filming session is tomorrow.
