At The Park Safe Haven Community Bayview/Hunters PointSan Francisco
The microphone is an awesome tool to capture the thoughts and sounds of everyday life, while leaving the listener to imagine what life must be for others. While working with group of young people in San Francisco’s Bayview Hunters Point I have come to realize the fun, excitement, and importance of allowing a group of boys to tell their own story.
I have learned that once a microphone is placed in a youth hands or one is propositioned with a microphone, the personally of all individuals involved changes rapidly. A sense of respect and command falls upon the people that are about to engage in conversation.
Although these young people spend a lot of time with each other, when it’s time to conduct an interview you would think that they are all complete strangers. Having an apparatus such as an electronic recording device between two people seems to stump their creativity and imagination. They seem to have nothing to say or are searching far and wide within their minds to udder one word.
The youth have learned quickly about the power of listening, proper microphone placement, and then realizing how powerful and sensative a recording device really is. When they hear there own voice amplified through a peer of professional headphones the word wow along with a big smile on their face is usually expressed when they realize the true impact of media arts.
