Production Strategy
Since I got the idea to use the strategy of filming spaces that make one feel enclosed I ‘m going to try and find some playgrounds within my drift area that have tube slides. Also I know I saw a tunnel on one of my drifts so I plan on going there to have some fun with this drift strategy. This site with the tunnel is highly promising because there is a lot that I can do with it. It’s absolutely beautiful and is long, dark and enclosed and will make some interesting shots when the sun is out. Maybe I can play with whole “light at the end of the tunnel” phrase. I plan on limiting my image capturing strategies to this motif so it might take a while to find a lot of different footage of enclosed spaces and a variety of playgrounds. However I think it will be worth it for the video sequence I’m already imagining putting together.
As for the sounds, it’s going to be difficult to strategize how I will limit my capturing strategies since I pretty much walked the city to find them. If I’m lucky however and come across a lot of good sounds to record then my strategy will be to record sounds that will amplify the enclosed footage. Also I might try to collect some abstract sounds so I can play around and decide what I like best with my footage.
Ten Questions
1) What was the most video/sound appealing place(s) that I went to on my first two drifts?
2) Do I know of any visually interesting places I decided not to film in my first drifts?
3) Am I trying to focus on nature or man-made objects?
4) Did I like my material better recorded at night or in the day?
5) Are there any interesting buildings in the area?
6) Where were most of my sounds gathered in the city or the suburban area?
7) Am I trying to use a similar camera technique in this drift as the last ones?
8) Are there any parks or playgrounds that I saw on my first two drifts?
9) What was the most beautiful site within my drift area?
What was the most hideous site of my drift area?Drift Assessment 4
My favorite recollection from my drifts was finding this beautiful staircase in the sun that I used in my piece. I just stumbled upon it while walking near the dorms I was living in and became really stunned. This was honestly one of my first experiences making movies and finding that location made it really exciting. I had a lot of fun making my own soundtrack out loud as I filmed shakily walking down these stairs to capture them. Once again I’m sure I looked pretty crazy because of it as well.
