Project 2. Assignment Description

I set the cafe as a 'public place'. In the cafe, I categorized visitors as students or housewives. After that, they focused on where they sat and what they ordered food. 
Public places can be restaurants, libraries, etc. as well as cafes. I thought the easiest thing to observe was a cafe, where I experimented.

Project one 'Interaction observation'

  Situation 1.  In 2020, many people reveal their own desire and dark side in front stages. Because of covid – 19, in new normal life ,they are tired to be gentle. I thought this situation shows how back stage comes out of front stage.    Regions:  front(public place) I think every public place is front stage. People share the place and face lots of people in there.    Descriptions:  Because of covid – 19, most of Korean wear their mask outside.

Also, they have to be on makeup or wear a fancy clothes all the time in front of the camera or in the show. They can be shoot anytime.  Normal people don't do like this. Most people are rest in their home when they are tired or have a health issues. And not everyone be on a makeup all the time. Because everyone don't mind about them. But TV idols are different. They have to be perfect in front of the camera. So, I think the front stage of TV idols is all the time when they are in front of the cameras.

Extra credit describing blog about assignment.  Project 2 observed people's behavior and timing of visits in public places. Clearly, people at dorm restaurants were a little different from cafes. The number of people visiting the dormitory restaurant was very different depending on the time and day they visited. So there is break time and during that time there is time to reorganize the restaurant. When visiting a restaurant, the method of selecting seats was very different depending on the person who came alone and the person who was with the group. People who came alone usually enjoyed eating sitting alone in a window seat, but those who were with the group sat at the middle table and talked to them for fun.
