Listening To The Interviews Again
After coming home and being taken out of the element that Claire and I had worked in for almost 3 weeks, and re listening to the interviews, for me personally, gave me an entirely new incite into the actual opinions that those we interviewed had. They were no longer just interviews but genuine incites into the life of a Quebecer and the outlook that they had. Until i re-listened to the interviews, I didn't realize how emotionally charged they were. These people weren't just casually talking about a normal topic, but a topic that carries a significant amount of weight and that has been around for generations. This topic for a Quebecer is the equivalent of talking about if you are democratic vs republican as an American and why you support the party that you do. I did not realize just WHAT Claire and I were asking until I came home and reviewed what we had done for 3 weeks. It's really interesting be taken out of the element and reveiwing what you'd done for weeks and seeing just what you had accomplished and how people reacted. At the time of the interviews, I was not really paying attention to their tone, body language or expression but simply seeing if they were giving us a long enough interview to use for our final presentation. Going back and watching/listening to these interviews allowed to to see just how uncomfortable some of our questions made them. It was a really interesting revelation
