Surveillance Project

Where did you set up your camera first?
The camera was half hidden in my jacket pocket, and when I was taking a picture of classrooms, I put the camera on the corner of the windows.
Why did you select the area to survey?

I selected the areas that I took because it was a place where people were concentrated on something else which was easy for me to take a surveillance shot.

How long did you remain in the same area?

I stayed at the same area not for a long time. I just took the picture and went right away because I did not want people to know that I was taking a picture of them.

What sort of images did you capture?

I captured images of people working or walking.
  
Were you satisfied with the results? Why or why not?

I was not really satisfied with my work because since I was walking while taking photos, most of them shook and then I had to delete them.

Describe your favorite image; explain why it is your favorite.

I like this because it really shows what she feels like in science class and it shows that she does not enjoy doing science.

How did people react to you?

Most people knew I was doing surveillance because everyone had their cameras taking pictures of people so they didn’t act like I was some creeper trying to take a picture of them.

How did you feel while you were taking the photos?

It was actually pretty fun because it was funny when people found out I was taking a picture of them and I would run away laughing. Also, I felt like a stalker.
