Collaborative Research Update

Thus far for our Oral History Project Christie, Ashley, and myself have had some difficulty landing the interviews that we had wanted.  The main person that we wanted to interview was against being videoed or voice recorded.  After discussing this minor set back Professor Mangini said that we should try to push for the interview.  That is what we are going to do.  I personally feel that his interview could be vital to the success of the project.  So far one of the interviews was completed.  This was an interview with a twelve year old girl and a thirteen year old boy who raise livestock for their 4-H program.  Overall this interview was difficult to conduct and I didn't feel comfortable using the new camcorder that was purchased.  A reinterview will be conducted this week.  As a group we are hoping that by the end of this week we will have completed the three interviews and start the editing process.  Once the interviews are completed a new post will be up describing the interview process in its entirety.
