Daliyl's final comments

1. What was your favorite part of the program and Why?
My favorite part of the program was the day we went to visit the Philadelphia Museum of Art. They have very interesting art there, including my favorite exhibit featuring the Armory artifacts. I also liked going to see the sites in Philadelphia neighborhoods where Zoe actually takes a lot of her pictures. I've never been to those parts of the city, so visiting them was new to me.

2. In what ways do you feel you have contributed to the documentary?
I contributed by filming with the video camera, which I became pretty good at. I also participated in interviewing several people with my team

3. How did working with the rest of the group shape your experience?
Working with everyone was good. It was helpful to work as a group, especially with nice people. We were all helpful during the team interviews and we could help each other if we got stuck. It was teamwork.

4. What did you learn in this program that you didn't know before?
I learned about video cameras- I didn't know how to work one before. I also learned how to talk to people in an interview format. I learned that there are all different kinds of art out there- different, nice, strange, etc. There were some things that I didn't think were art, but now I know that they are art.

5. How will you use any skills or information you have learned during this program in the future?
I hope to use a video camera in the future to make my own little movie. I also hope to take more pictures with my still camera. I think now that I might want to become a photographer.

6. Has your perception of art changed during the program? If so, how?
Before the program, I thought that art was interesting and sometimes moving. I still think that now. But there are now some things that I've seen that I would have not thought were art before. Like the drawing at the Art Museum that looked like it was done by a two-year-old. Now I know that it can be called art as well.

7. Has you perception of documentaries changed during the program? If so, how?
Yes, I learned that all documentaries are not boring, you just have to have the right subject, good music, and the right shots. I really enjoyed watching 'Rize' and the one about the homeless people living underground. I also liked watching the film made by students from Dobbins, even though it wasn't a documentary.

8. What would you have changed about the program and why?
I would have made the program longer; it could have continued until September. I would have enjoyed working on a documentary about another artist once we finished with Zoe.

9. Did the program help you improve on any skills or knowledge you already had?

I got better at taking pictures. They showed us how to use the camera in a different way. I think now that I will take pictures of different things instead of just people.

10. Do you plan on working with art, photography or video anytime in the future? How has the program affected this?
Probably. I think I will continue with photography and maybe video. I wasn't really thinking about this before, so the program definitely affected this.

11. Did the program meet your expectations? Why/why not?
Probably in a way. I think we actually did more than I was expecting to do.
