For micro project 4, I approach it in 2 ways:

1) Impromptu live interview @7am in the morning:

I have been taking the NTU shuttle bus for the past 3 semesters and I am quite curious about how other students/passengers think about the service so I decided to do a very short impromptu interview. In this video, I interviewed my lecturer for one of my modules this semester as well as the in charge (headcounter) for the shuttle service at the Marine Parade bus stop! As it is still quite early in the morning, it is hard to get my friends to come online promptly when my live streaming starts so I did not prepare that many audience/viewers. For the friends, I asked, quite a number of them couldn’t wake up in time. The bus will leave about 7.10am so I reached slightly earlier today and pre-empt my lecturer that I am doing a 3 min live broadcast and she was agreeable to be a participant in my broadcast. After the broadcast, I also asked if the Malay lady was okay with me posting this up for my project, I was quite glad that she agreed quite readily!

2) Nature- an expansion of my first video about birds:

On the topic of nature, I like the sense of continuity from the bird video in micro project 1 so I decided to find something similar to expand on! In the morning as part of my route from home to the shuttle bus stop, I will have to walk past this mini “Bird Park”. In a way, it is part of my daily routine hence this part of nature feels rather close to heart.

Here are some closer shots of them:

    

some other comments left by my friends:

This is actually the 2nd attempt of the video. The first attempt was at 6.45am in the morning with the mist but it is actually quite hard to video the birds so I went ahead to conduct my interview at the bus stop before heading back for a 2nd attempt on the way home.

Overall, micro project 4 is still quite interesting because I conducted my first live interview and I tried to engage people from the 1st space (physical space) as well as reacting to audience from the third space (replying in speech with live comments coming in)!
