Production Strategy for Trek 03

In my trek 01 and 02 I explored both urban areas and wooded areas, but for my third trek I plan on exploring wooded areas. specifically the woods surrounding the river walk and the downer woods. i am looking for a contrast between nature and the unnatural for example brightly colored signs on trees, plastic food wrappers in the woods anything that will make an interesting contrast with the earthy tones of nature. as I traveled through the woods on the river walk during my first two treks i found some interesting man made objects hidden around, and not that the leaves have fallen the contrasts are even more obvious.

I will limit my image capturing activities by only capturing stills and video in nature.
I will focus on contrasts between nature and man made objects.

I will record sound from my specific area.
I will record mechanical(man-made) sounds to represent some of the natural sounds of my area.

Ten Qeustions

1. Can I show contrasts of the natural(e.g. vegetation, natural water,etc.) and the unnatural(e.g. garbage,man-made infrastructure,etc.) in my area?
2. What mood or feeling does my area have and can I change this with my photography? (if my area looks pleasant and calm can I make it eerie and unsettling)
3. Can I create any patterns in my compositions?
4. Are there any interesting sounds in the area?
5. can I create movement in my photography of the area?
6. Can I animate movement from still pictures?
7. Can I put mechanical sounds to natural visuals ?
8. How can I show interaction in the area?
9. What characteristics of the area do I want to exxagerate and what characteristics do i want to hide in my video?
10. How can I intergrate stills and video of the area and not lose continuity in my video?

Trek Assessment #4

My favorite experience was during my second trek when I photographed this school house it was on the weekend so the place was very quite and calm. With no body in my way i felt no rush I took my time experimenting with different ways of photographing things. this experience changed the way i thought about taking stills. I never realized how much more intimidating something looks when photographed from a low angle. Or how you can change the way people perceive things just by changing the angle.
