My goal was to interview four people about the trip.  I contacted professors, Kelly Sharp and John Crawford through email and asked students Jenna Fleming and Radhanath Thialan in person and all agreed.  Each of these interviews was about 20-25 minutes.

I recorded audio from some of the dance classes while in Shanghai and then had videos that were provided from the trip and took the audio for ambiance. 
Many of the videos I took myself, however, Jenna Fleming (one of my interviewees) had also taken some videos for the trip and I met with her to make sure that I could use her audio.

I too was a part of the exchange, so I got to immerse myself entirely in the experience and give accurate information based off of first-hand accounts.

I interviewed Associate Professor John Crawford.  I knew that he was a little more acquainted with the history of these exchanges and wanted to get thorough and accurate information.

I looked up articles on the previous exchange that took place last year called East Meets West, which took place at UCI.

I verified information on Tong Wang and John Crawford through the UCI faculty page, however some of the information I had already known from taking classes with them.
