Production Strategy

I would like to try to work on Oakland by the houses to capture residential sounds. This is the place where I experienced almost complete silence. But there are also very interesting sounds and trees there. For Trek 02, I captured as many images as possible so that when I went back to edit I would have enough material to delete bad or blurry images. I will do this again with Trek 03. For sound, I am going to let the recorder run longer so I capture sounds I do not necessarily hear until I start editing. Then I get the best sound possible.

Ten Questions

1. Should I move close to the water or stay at a distance?
2. Will indoor images fit with outdoor images?
3. Which sounds will work for repeating?
4. Which sounds should be played straight through?
5. Do I want to use sounds of myself walking?
6. Should my shadow be used in my images?
7. Do I want to create motion through still images?
8. Do I want the microphones far apart or close together?
9. Is traffic noise something to use or something to throw out?
10. Do images look better with cloud cover or with the sun shining?

Trek Assessment #4

My favorite experience was from my third Trek. It was raining and cold but not windy, so good recording weather. The rain made unusual sounds in the sewers and I captured as much as I could. I wanted the sound to be different from the visual, so this dribbling sound was like glass and water; perfect.
