Having now filmed the videos that will accompany each individual post, there were a lot of things that worked well during production. Lingering in each space allowed us to to pick up on unique happenings in our surroundings, such as leaves falling or the passing of cars. Observing in each space also gave us the opportunity to notice things we wouldn’t normally pay attention to. In particular, the calm atmosphere of the park was striking in contrast to the bustling nature of the urban environment. I am satisfied with the quality of the DSLR camera and the use of the microphone to pick up sounds, as well as the use of both close ups and long shots to capture these spaces; this was something I liked in Christian Santos’ creative work City vs Nature. In it he juxtaposes shots of natural landscapes with manmade objects (power lines, a spinning turbine, the pavement of a road).  This allows us to hone in on specific details as well as capture the overall atmosphere of our surroundings.

During production we also decided to alter the formatting of our page. Instead of having one large 3×3 configuration of posts (9 posts total), we will now be doing two large scale compositions 2×3 (6 posts each, 12 in total). This will feature one image of buildings and one of a nature landscape, which were taken prior to filming. We made this decision because it will allow for a clearer comparison of both spaces, and establish a strong relationship between the two environments. We also wanted to ensure sure that in the bottom row of each composition there would be some form of human activity; the aim of this is to further establish the relationship people have with their surroundings.
