Project scrapped.... : (

So, my first attempted project flopped...I guess I’m pretty bummed about it since I thought that it would turn out really cool, but whatever...I’m glad that I didn’t invest too much time in it so it’s not like I completely scrapped an entire project, but I would have liked it to work out.
I was planning on making a video in which I interviewed random people when I was at home and had them talk about what love was to them. Actually, it wasn’t going to be an interview, more like I was just going to let them talk. I wanted to get people of all ages, races, relationship statuses, etc. When I first tried to do this (with some people I knew at first) they seemed to need more questions to initiate discussion. So I tried again and used questions to probe the people and obtain sufficient answers from my "subjects". However, all of the answers I got were very generic and did not come out the way that I had expected them to. I guess I would have had to better prepare for this with giving the people time to think about their answers before I went through the process of taping them. Maybe I was expecting too much....I just didn’t want the same generic, fairytale answers about love. I was looking for more content and I still think that this would be an interesting project to undertake, it just did not work out in these limited circumstances...so I trashed it...I was just very disappointed with how it was going to turn out and it wasn’t what I wanted. Sheldon and I tried to think of how to salvage it, but to no avail...hence my new project: a study on various psychiatric disorders and how people with these disorders function in romantic relationships....I am almost done with it and I think it should turn out well...I am finding out a lot of interesting information, so off to work on that....later.
