Ingredients:

  • two different locations; rural + urban
  • Canon 5D3
  • Recorder (HR Zoom)
  • iPhone 5S
  • tripod
  • Mixer Apps

Method:

  • Taking long (10 minute) and short (3-5 minute) videos and sound bytes of environments

Outcome and Reflection:

I found I was focusing on people moving throughout a space instead of focusing on things in general.
I moved on to what captured my attention throughout the use of sound and found that the bigger pictures were interesting to hone in on as they made up the spaces for the smaller fragments.
The longer I waited, I found the more impatient I grew, especially because I was continuing to notice things outside of the frame of view and I grappled with the idea of what type of recordings I should do (video) -do I pan, do I hold fast and keep still.
