Here are my two ideas for the class project, I had 3 but these are the two finalists, I hope you guys like it as much as I do.
My first story idea is to write about the nail art in the Bronx. Basically what I want to do it to do some research of how acrylic nails started to be more than just fashion. If you walk in some neighborhoods in the Bronx every one block you find a nail salon. I want to interview some people who actually do acrylic nails, storeowners and also some of their costumers and why they do it and like it. For my multimedia I would like to film a video of an employee on his/her regular day at the nail salon and a slideshow of his/her art.
For my second idea I was thinking of writing about the nightlife at Washington Heights and it clubs. Like we can see it in “Jersey Shore,” how “Guido/Guidettes” have fun in Jersey and their fashion. I want to write about how people have fun in the “heights” and their fashion. I would like to interview some club owners, bartenders and actually follow a person who parties in Washington heights for the night. For my multimedia I would like to film a video of this person’s night out, how does it start, where do they go, to what type of people they are attract to and how does their night ends.
