The conclusion of this project consists of three interviews I recently conducted with members of my family. I am lucky in that my family is fairly understanding, but I think that the tension comes through. At least I haven't had to deal with the anger and alienation that others have experienced.
Analysis
I think this portion of my project was enormously successful in emulating the performative mode, since I essentially made three nano-docs that are actually in that style. The subject here is my personal relationship with my family and the emotions that are being expressed in that relationship, which should help viewers get a sense of my personal perspective. There were two main challenges to creating this post. The first was deciding what questions to ask in the interview, since I didn't think I could accurately anticipate the answers. When my father gave such a short answer to the last question, I had to ad lib, and I left out a lot of key ideas that I could have mentioned, like truth, morality, ethics, and family. The other challenge was deciding whether to put much of an explanation with the clips, but I decided that the footage speaks for itself to a large degree, and additional context is provided by the previous content of my blog.
