Well....
That's how I started thinking about my final project. I couldn't decide what I was trying to get across and what I wanted to show the class. I wanted to expand the thought process further then just the school and enter the community and tell its story as well.
I began by driving around the community up and down National Avenue and its surrounding blocks to see if I couldn't find a reoccuring theme. Trying to navigate through anywhere in Milwaukee in the summer is a difficult task in itself, but doing so and trying to get a better understanding of an unfamiliar community was even more difficult.
My project is this; I wanted to show the major amount of community heritage that the National Avenue community has by pictures of Latin/Hispanic restaurants and community centers, the community pride they take in their community and the way the community is trying to rebuild itself into a better community as a whole (updating buildings, community centers and after school programs). The entire project is basically trying to show how the community is trying to have its next generation(s) strive to be better adults.
Without taking 100 photos this project is going to have few slides and having me speak through the project instead of showing a movie. I feel that the powerpoint presentation will work better, because it wont distract the audience from the glitz and glamour of a high powered movie and will better focus the audience on the presentation and what I'm saying.
I hope it works, because the more time I spent in the community the more I've realized how great of a community it really is.
