The Annotated Bibliography was, to my understanding, a kick off for the entire class. We were supposed to take pictures from the archives and make a story or develop a theme to go with them. This took me much longer than I anticipated. The archives were fun to look through, but there were so many documents that I couldn't really figure out what on earth I was going to do with them. I wanted to think of something that I could keep developing, something that would actually hold my interest for the entirety of the semester. Because although I'm sure you could deviate if inspiration struck, I think the purpose was sort of to create a foundation for our media projects as the class went on.
I was rather happy when inspiration finally did strike. I saw this quote from Cedar Crossing, a novel by Mark Busby we were reading in class: "But in Spring semester 1964, I was like most nineteen year olds- looking at the world through a narrow prism, while around me, the world flamed." 1964 is decades before I was even born, and yet, as a 19 year old in 2014, I can relate to how Mr. Busby felt. That's why I decided to theme my projects around a timeless story. A story, that despite the change of date, people, and society, we could all find relatable.
