Rough Clip #2

Rough Clip #1

Production Strategy

1. The place I would like to look at closer is the marina area of my Trek area.

1. Different sounds and videos of natural sounds.

2. Foot steps on different terrains.

Ten Questions

1. Are there any interesting lights in the trek area?
2. How much nature is there compared to urban architecture?
3. Are there any bodies of water that can be observed?
4. Are there any construction sites in the area?
5. Is there a certain time and place where there is a lack of any sound at all?
6. Are there any familiar sounds that can identify a certain location in the area?
7. Are there any landmarks or places of interest in the area?
8. Are there any areas that are usually always in shadow from tall buildings?
9. How many busy streets or roads are located in the trek area?
10.What different sounds can be heard in the trek area as the seasons change?

Trek Assesment #4

Out of all of the experiences of my first two treks I would have to say that my favorite experience would have to be the second sound clip I recorded in the marina. While I recorded this a heavy fog began to roll into the marina and once visible boats started to disappear behind this fog. This was probably one of the most peaceful, calm sounds I heard on treks 1 and 2. I even stayed around this area a little longer just so I could take in the sound and the sight. This place affected me because there was nobody else there just me and the boats bobbing in the fog, it was just an overall peaceful experience.

Trek Assesment #3

One of the biggest surprises I encountered on my 1st trek was the sound of the marina and how the wind would blow the ropes and create numerous different notes almost as if it were a song. Another strange thing was how far i could walk during my trek. I realized I could cover a lot of ground on foot even while stopping to collect video samples or sound samples. Another thing that surprised me was when I listened to my recordings after I came home I heard alot more sounds than I did when I was recording on the street. It seemed as if there were more layers of sound to my recordings the more I listened to them.

Trek Assesment #2

One of the situtions that I found peaceful was when I was down in the marina on my first trek. It was very foggy and i couldn't even see all of the boats on the water, but the wind blowing the sail ropes and pulleys against the mast almost created a song in the wind. Another situation that I enjoyed was on Trek 2 when I was walking down a bike path I shot some video on and the sun was just comming up while wind was rustling leaves in the trees while blowing leaves off the trees.

Trek Assesment #1

One of the problems I had was finding time to go on my treks. Having a tight school and work schedule made it difficult but not impossible. Another problem I had was that I decided to go out on my 1st trek on a fairly windy day and this caused some problems with my sound samples.
