Production Strategy

My production strategy is to start at the lake front right where Lake Drive turns towards UWM. It is a promising area because it is nearby a metropolis area and a wooded area, which I found to be a good mix on my first drifts. I am sticking to my previous strategy of shooting things with grooves and things we look through as it wielded good results and I am interested to see what else I can do with it. Also I found that it is interesting when you can combine these two elements, it mixes texture of objects as well as its surrounding. For sound I feel that going for steady ambiance noises and harsh clangy noises goes well with grooves and things we look through.

The Aggravation

Overall there were plenty of awkward moments and funny looks I had along the way, but the most stressing was being yelled at by a Qudoba employee for getting carried away taking pictures in the restaurant. Also it was awkward taking recordings in upscale neighborhoods and of children because because that is just a suspicious activity. Also the most aggravating feeling was seeing trash that had previously been hidden by snow but was now strew about everywhere.
