A Sense of Place

I got some more interview material yesterday. It was hot but beautiful outside and I captured some more footage. It's the first of the interviews I'm doing of people from in the high school. It was pretty exciting. I almost didn't realize my microphone was dead right before I started shooting, but luckily went through the checklist I've been very cautious about since the unfortunate interview I had a few weeks back (check out my post titled Debbie Downer for more on this). 

I've also scheduled another interview for later this week with my government class teacher. I think she'll offer some perspectives on topics that other people I've interviewed haven't discussed. Right now, we're learning about the development of the city of Ithaca and what gives it a sense of place (including zoning, development, and layout). I'm very excited about this, because our discussions relate to what I'm trying to get at through my film. We read an article, which I will link below. It touches on a lot of points of the quirks of the people who live here.

Here's the article from the Ithaca Times and the photo from the article: http://bit.ly/1EYd1uR
