Yesterday our group made great progress on our film project thanks to our friendly and outgoing ethnographer, James Moy. After conversing with a few neighborhood locals about our film idea, we were able to convince a few to allow us to interview them about their neighborhoods off 6th street and a bit about themselves as well. A few were a bit camera shy though. One trusting woman allowed us to record her audio commentary, meanwhile another young woman walking her dog refused to do an interview because she believed her appearance to be "less than perfect" (not exacly her words).
While we focused on some tripod shots on intersections throughout 6th street in Hancock Park, Koreatown, and Pico-Union district, our main objective was to establish rapport with locals and to get their general perspective of their own neighborhoods and of those nearby.
