Independent project final idea

My most recent idea that I had that I want to do for my project is this:

Record all my phone conversations and create an audio piece, which plays with the different effects and repetition and harmony.

Then I will make a animation with all my text messages that is in sync with the music.

Independent project

I have had a lot of trouble trying to come up with some ideas that would be interesting and that would have a lot of information I could work with.

My top ideas so far are:

1. Go to as many small concerts (for example, ones held at funknwaffles) as possible.

I would videotape it and I would focus on the audiences reaction with the music. I would try to go to different types of concerts, rap, rock, folk, and the acapella groups. I would try to capture the differences of people in the audience and how they are reacting to the music. I would also try to make it more interactive by going up to people after the concert and asking them how they thought of it

2. My next idea is not fully developed yet. My friend told me about a site called JuicyCampus and it inspired me for this project. I was thinking of making two websites that ask some sort of question. One, you would have to sign in and use your real name to answer and the other would be anonymous. I would like to see the difference in what people say and if they hold back anything when they have to put their name down. I could also do this differently by asking people a question outside my dorm and having them write down their opinions with their name in one box and then I would switch and for another day I would ask them the same question but I will not make them write their name.
