Hertfordshire Uni Expo - 27/09/10 (NAT)

Even though it was pouring down with rain when we arrived at the University of Hertfordshire, we were sill optimistic that it was going to be a good day. Pen, pad and camera at the ready we didn’t waste no time and got straight to work. We approached students asking them these 5 questions:
• What do you think politics is
• What do you care about
• What grinds your gears
• Describe a politician in one word
• Draw a politician
Our aim was to get their initial reactions caught on camera. We moved tight as a unit approaching different people at random. As the day went on our confidence grew and instead of us going to people some came to us. We had a wide range of answers some quite interesting and some funny.

A lot of people seemed interested about Evolution Now as a project and wanted their voices to be heard as a lot of them feel that it isn’t.
Again like Brighton I believe that question “What grinds your gears” was misinterpreted and people initially related this question to politics.

Unlike Brighton the students at Hertfordshire were reluctant to be filmed on camera but were more than happy to give us their email addresses so that we could keep them up to date with the project.
