Neighborhood.

• What are your goals & objectives for the project?

My main goal is to gain a complete understanding of a chicago neighborhood.  The neighborhood we are going to do is south Chicago, an area I am completely unfamiliar with.  I would like to gain an understanding of the people that reside there, especially since I have only heard negative things about the south side of Chicago.  I would definitely like to see the good side of the area.  I also want to know the history, main attractions/things to do, and the population make-up of the neighborhood.

• Which guiding question do you want to focus on?

I would like to focus on what major things characterize the south side, and why it has the bad reputation is has today.

• What is your suggestion for involving people from the neighborhood in your project?
  

I would like to hear the people's insights on their neighborhood, and it would be very cool to film them talking about the place they call home, or engaging in activities that are distinct in the neighborhood.  An insider's view is always key to have.

• What do you want your audience to get from the project?

I want the audience to understand many different aspects about the south side, south as information about the people who live there, the main things to do, the work opportunities, and the history about the neighborhood.

• What specific skills do you bring to this group?

I am usually a very organized person, and am very good with communication.  I also have a semi-creative side and am strong in writing.
