Production Strategy
1. In my third trek my strategy was to explore Hubbard Park (Near E. Edgewood and N. Oakland) I want to be able to explore the park looking for new images and sound that is unique.
2. I plan to shoot only footage that seems to evoke feeling, and has good color/light.
3. I plan to record ambient sound that can be extracted to use as the soundtrack, and smaller individual sounds for effect.

Ten Questions
1. Where is there a place to find odd noises?
2. Where is the divide between the city, and Nature?
3. What is the difference in images shot in light and images shot in dark?
4. Does the sound of the city streets envelope everywhere?
5. Are there more than one places to shoot moving water?
6. Is there a lot of trash in the area?
7. Is the imagery in a higher or lower location, or both?
8. Is there a place where people can congragate?
9. Are people easily seen out in this area?
10. Is there a smell of sewage by the area.

Trek Assesment #4
My favorite experience with my treks was when it had started to rain on a cloudy day while I was shooting. What I enjoyed about this experience is that just after the rain cleared, the sun came out and enveloped everything in rays of sun, really bringing out the color.
Trek Assessment #3
What I discovered during my trek was that there is art and beauty in almost everything you see and hear. While recording the sound of my own keys jingling is almost like chimes, but it is not, only keys. I discovered also that even the inside of a fence pole is a great place for different images, and has an interesting light, and shadows manipulated by the sun. I also found that shooting images through things such as a glass bottle or a shard of a transparent blinker. The next days after my trek, I would see shards of glass, and plastic bottles and not think of them as trash, but as objects to further technique, and to create images not usually seen in everyday life.
Trek Assessment #2
During my first trek I was standing on the corner recording the sound of passing traffic, when I realized that although I was standing on a busy intersection, I felt as if it was just me and the comforting sounds of the passing traffic. At the start of my second trek it had just rained, and while I took pictures of the beads of water on leaves, the sun giving off reflections made me feel at peace with the calming nature.
Trek Assessment #1
One of the problems I ran into during the first round of sound collection was the mass amount of traffic and busy sounds. I was able to collect sounds
of all kinds, but that was just one of the things that bothered me. The second situation that bothered me while collecting my images for Trek 02 was that it started to rain during my trek, forcing me to end early, and go out another day to continue collecting my images.
