Tuesday: Audio Recording

Tuesday, the first day with NO INTERNET, was scheduled as audio recording day. Each group of three stepped into the studio to record the interviews with each other that they had brainstormed the previous day; after they finished, they “edited” the recordings for the rest of the day.

That’s when the mayhem began.

When I arrived, the Internet had been down for approximately 30 minutes, and many activities had to be shafted to future days. The gang ran around Youngstown with cameras, photographing everything in sight; played around with the PhotoBooth tool on the Mac’s, and occasionally edited their interviews.

As my job basically revolves around using a computer with a functioning wireless connection, I was at a loss for what to do with myself; after a long, hard brainstorming session, I decided to interview the YOL folks about their experiences thus far. The gang is halfway through the program as of the end of today, and their thoughts on the program are posted below:

Subject: Michelle
JO: What makes YOL interesting?
MN: The people in the class, because you get to communicate with the other students in the class and you get to see not only what you’re doing, but what they’re doing too.

JO: How has this been different from your previous summers?
MN: This is kind of new to me; there’s less people, it feels more hands-on, there’s more teachers, and lots of available help

JO: What have you liked so far?
MN: Using the cameras, because when you buy a digital camera, you think it’s good, but the big black camera is just better; you can change the lens and the zoom, and it takes better pictures

JO: What would your first move as ruler of the world be?
MN: I would try to help the needy, because I just went to a homeless shelter this weekend, and you just see too many young people struggling

Subject: Talon
JO: What makes YOL interesting?
TW: The wide variety of activities to do

JO: How has this been different from your previous summers?
TW: I get to work on projects; I get to use the media to my advantage

JO: What have you liked so far?
TW: The Photoshopping things I’ve scanned for projects

JO: What would your first move as ruler of the world be?
TW: I’d move and establish my own city as a capital

Subject: Tirhas
JO: What makes YOL interesting?

JO: What would your first move as ruler of the world be?
TG: End world poverty
