Reflection #1
Category: Analysis
I think the most important point of this weeks presentation was for us to learn how to interview someone, but just not any ordinary interview. One where we learned about the other person by asking the right questions. I learned and watched how a good interview flows as a conversation, and while the conversation may start off very bland it can progress into a great interview. I thought it was amazing to see the animated interviews because, the first one that was played in the Ted talk was a little boy. That had to be my favorite animated interview, because it really did show me that anyone can have a awesome interview no matter at what age, and to not be scared to ask any questions. Maybe you ask the wrong question and it turns out to be the right question that makes the interview become an amazing open conversation.

During this week's class, an idea that stuck me was in the Ted talk we watched. The ted talked about a program called Story Corps, this program allows you to record an interview with your loved ones and get to know them better if you haven't already. The awesome thing about Story Corps is that the interview is recorded and once you are done with the interview, you get a copy and another copy is placed into an archive for future generations to go back and listen to or watch animated versions of the interviews. This ted talk made me think a lot about my life and how little value I give certain things. I really started to think and as the video went on the guy went on to say most people talk about who they are, what they've learned in life, and lastly how they want to be different. I thought about the first two a lot and then the third one I felt was a question I could ask myself in the future. Then I thought why wait so long so answer it, why not answer it now and change myself now instead of waiting for the future when it could possibly be to late then.

An illustration used in this weeks class that I could personally relate to the most was the Facundo The Great video. That video made me think back to elementary through middle school to the first day of every year or whenever we had substitutes. Every year they would always mispronounce my name, or they would spell it wrong. I'd always think, " how hard is it to properly pronounce my name it's said the same way as Melanie, it's just spelled with ye at the end instead of ie". While my teachers never permanently changed my name, for the first two weeks of every school year I'd always get my name mispronounced. It was honestly the most annoying thing ever, I remember I would constantly ask my mom why she made me have such a complicated name. Now I don't think that and I really like the way my name is spelled.

My inspiration to draw this, was a combination of the Ted talk we watched mixed with the Facundo The Great video. I picked the name Ràmon, because as I talked about in my third reflection it's a story I can relate to. If you've never seen an original Story Corps booth this drawing can give you a small glimpse at what they looked like in the beginning. Obviously my drawing isn't the most detailed, and to make it my own drawing I did change it up a little bit, but it does give you an idea. I also drew a little paper that has the question that asks how would you have been different if you could've? I picked that question because it's something I'm choosing from now on to ask myself when in a difficult predicament. |
