Newnessness?!

The proposal has been pushed back until October 9th.

Types of details:
  1. Roles, how each performed the roles--body language
  2. Specific embodied activities (typing--speed steps to reread; silently rereading)
  3. Speech (types/topics; sequence; tone)
  4. Level of Comfort (stumbling over words; pace of activity; posture; amount of discussion)
  5. "Other activities"--not doing research, pulling from own experiences; fidgeting, getting up; drinking coffee
  6. Clothing details
Notes, notes, notes:
  1. Observational notes: find out what's going on
  2. Theoretical notes: making a theory of what I'm seeing
  3. Methodological notes: questions I should ask the person later
Notes taken from the video: 
they are corroborating what they want to draw; one is the leader, the others are following what he is saying; the leader does take part in the actions, even though he is explaining what is going on; the leader, seen, explains to the peeps what he wants it to look like, but he has to do it anyway
Notes on specific clips
First:
they already have notes ready for what they're going to do; seen explains his to the others and tells why they should do that one instead; he is more vocal than the others; seen uses more hand motions than the others in the scene; he becomes louder than the others; there are several guys there, no girls, but seen is definitely in charge.

Second: 
seen shows them how it's supposed to look; tells the peeps where to begin the "piece"; the peeps ask him questions, but he still overrides what they say; again, seen is in charge; it's no longer about comparing notes; seen has decided how it's going to look, and he is telling the others how to execute his plans

Third: 
one person does the painting, the others are off to the sides, I would assume; it's not seen doing the piece, it's the guy he was explaining things to

Fourth:
the peeps explain how they think it looks, seen explains and overrides what they think; seen is now outlining, even though he is really good...he steps back and explains what is needed and what he's doing in the scene, he tells the audience and looks over the piece

Fifth:
he explains again how he thinks it looks...he doesn't correct anything, mainly b/c he can't; that's why he tells us why he needs the outline; he is doing the drawing now, along with some of the others; he likes it

Sixth:
seen gets upset at the others, even though he let them draw

Seventh: 
seen wants things a certain way, and others are trying to tell him what they think.  he, again, overrides them; he wants it the way he wants it; it could be considered a seen project, but others are helping him out

Eighth: 
seen explains what he did on other projects, and then proceeds to go more in depth when the people he's working with don't know what he's talking about

Ninth:
Seen is the leader of the group, and it keeps getting more evident; he has to give the peeps promises; then he shows them, with paint (you can't erase it), how to do it

Painting over outline; repainting!!  They DO revise!

Seen; graffiti artist; documentary; 1985/7?

Notes on the Reading:
(on eCampus)  Does Kliman (?) provide the assurance that she was there?
Analysis section now (third page); my guess would be that the examples she use would convince, or at least help, the audience believe that she was there making the observations.
Quotes from the people; pgs. 63, 64, 65--she refers to actual observation; why do you wait?
Observations from the text: p. 64
