Final Check In 2 Group A: Aaron, Richard, James

Since our video acts like a survey, we want to capture the person’s whole initial response to our questions. This also means we won’t preface with the novel to not tamper with the responses of our sample. We’ll ask them about it after the fact.  As for how it would inform people about their responses, the novel brings up that the different cliques are geographically separated, so the average person may stereotype based on geography like those in the book. Yes self monitored videos are specifically used to portray a persona that the author wants to portray.

We’ll make consent form for people to sign on. As for editing, the school has editing programs on the computers. The length of the video will depend on how many people we interview. Our ideal time would be 7- 15 minutes.  The format of the video will also depend on how many people we get. Our audience would be people that have read or seen The Outsiders. Our audience would also be anyone interested in social dynamics and stereotyping.  To gain people’s interest, we can include a more outrageous response towards the beginning to make them want more.

This relates to liminality because stereotyping is gained from experience and a lot of initial experiences with groups you may consider different happens in this liminal time.  We can use the political spectrum, such as liberals vs conservatives, to see the correlation. Greasers are described as emotional like Liberals are radical, while Conservatives tend to have a social image is that of the higher class like the Socs. Then we can relate that to people in the middle like Hinton and see where they lean more towards as far as the cliques in the book.
