some questions to guide critique:

1. How clearly were the areas of the screen delineated?

2. How well did form and content work together?

3. Does the piece convey a meaning?

4. Does it grip the viewer?

5. What is the relationship of content to the formal, compositional qualities of the work?

6. Was a graphical, structural or architectural feature used effectively to separate areas of the screen?

7. Was separation of the screen into discrete areas done well technically (question of craft)?

8. Was the message/content clear, compelling, and original?

Interviewing

examples:

would you want to emulate this interviewer? [[1]]

what if the interviewer is looking for something different from the interview than the interviewee? (and what about running music behind an interview) [[2]]

interactive work on criminal justice system that includes interviews [[3]]

Where Are You From? interactive work on globalism and identity [[4]]

For the interviewer:

1. What do you want to know? what information is important for the audience?

2. What questions can you ask that don't foreclose upon unanticipated results, or

3. how can you ask questions that open up rather than close down communication?

4. What environmental or attitudinal factors could facilitate or inhibit communication?

For Veterans (sample questions):

1. When did you serve, and for how long?

2. What led you to join the service (what were your circumstances)

2a. What did you hope to achieve by serving?

2b. Do you think you did achieve that?

3. where and what were you assigned to do?

3a. what was that experience like for you?

4. What was it like when you came back?

edit the material (Audacity is good for this, free, and cross platform),

if time, create a visual accompaniment (since this is an exercise, you can use any images/footage you can find but don't distribute it beyond the class context)
