As the task or assessment requires, this one asks me to go to an unfamiliar location of my partner’s choice which happens to be the Royal Botany Garden for my recording portion and Southern Cross Station for hers. These 2 location seems to be fairly suitable for our purpose, as I personally am not a huge fan of nature (And vice versa) meanwhile she don’t seems to be traveling through Southern Cross very often.

As for the method of recording, we intend to record multiple 5-10 sec phone video starting from shooting (As in video shooting) our feet then look up to have a glance of the surrounding, we’ll continue doing this every 10 min within the area.

As for the “content” that I’m expecting to see in the area, I was at one point a furniture student, so I had been there a couple years ago for a short tour of seeing some of the more common woods that are used in furnishing. Although as I was an ignorant teenager, I pretty much forgot at least the majority what was there, here is a short list of things I remember that were there or used to be there.
1. Trees or plants of different species
2. Long chairs or any park related furnishing
3. Elderly people
4. Small lakes
5. Metallic door frames (Entrances)

Following the event occurred on last Wed and Thu (2nd-3rd), a few of the questions were left on the whiteboard hanging all the way in the oddest possible spot of the room.

Q: What kind of thing did sound help you notice that images might not have?
A: By taking away the visual element of the media, sound becomes the dominate form of transmitting information from the media to the consumer which results in noticing details that would otherwise ignored or covered by visual distortions. Similar to reading a novel where visual elements are very limited, the reader will often have to imagine the scene that writer originally intended, while sounds works in a similar fashion but would often be more affected by one’s perspective, leading its listeners to a narrower range of possible imaginary scenes.

Q: 3 in 1 question as followed
1) What was the difference between listening to your own ear & then listen to recorded sound?
2) What did you notice differently?
3) Was there anything in the recording that was curious to you?
A: When recording the sound, everything seems and sounds just about as normal as it could possibly get, likely due to having visual elements as a strong base of support, once the visual are taken out, a sense of what will happen next becomes more apparent.The curious part of the recording isn’t exactly a part of the recording, but rather what comes after it, as the trolly passes further and further, there was a sense of something quick and loud will soon happen at some point, despite it never actually happened.

So…the result is roughly about the same from the 4 people from my table, not much outside of what I personally have noticed in my collections of the photos. And no, I don’t think I am very attentive to my surrounding to a point where I know absolutely every thing, probably due to I wasn’t sure what I was suppose to show…yes…very…likely…
