Preliminary analysis / conclusions: Provide an initial analysis of your main findings (2000 words)
Revisit the questions asked in field report 2 and consider whether your answers are still the same as they were three weeks ago. Reflect on these questions:
- What patterns do you now see in the phenomena you have been exploring?
- What issues, people, and places do you want to elaborate with your remaining time?
- What new areas have emerged which you still want to investigate before you leave the field?
- Based on the footage you’ve recorded,
- Does this material provide sufficient coverage of your key questions/concepts?
- Does it begin to tell a story? If so, what story? What additional materials do you need to elaborate this story?
- Do you have everything you need to structure your footage into a film or other output with a beginning, middle, and end?
Footage: Audiovisual examples:
- Submit 10-12 still images that provide a survey of key element (i.e., a photo-survey) or narrative structure to your project (i.e., a photo-essay)
- Submit 2 video sequences (2-4 minutes each) that illustrate at least 3 different moments that could play a significant/structural role in your coming film
- Submit 1 sound sequences (2-4 minutes) that provides significant knowledge about your project
Organizing and Logging: Send an update of your continued efforts to create a media loglist and field journal TOC/Index. This should give a nearly complete overview of your entire collection of research materials. Calculate how many hours of rushes you have.
