May 14, 2008 – Afternoon
Location: Valley Library Quad
Feeling: Confident
Nick and I agreed to meet up a the library to shoot some reactions and environment shots of an Iraq war death toll display where small flags represented a certain amount of deaths in Iraq. The flags were spread out all over the quad, and the display definitely made you think. BUT, what do you know, the display had been taken down earlier that morning. Total bummer. Well, Nick and I printed out a few of the surveys we made up to hand out to students, went over again our other sources and content and tried to think of some alternatives to fill in for the flag display. We thought of talking to the protesters that demonstrate outside of the court house regularly. I think their ideas will contrast compellingly to the interviews we get with recruiters and military personnel, and of course the everyday student perspective. All is not a lost, I feel we’ve got enough content ideas to put together a nice piece.
