Rough Final Clip Sequence- "A Child At Heart"








For the final clip, I took a little bit from two of my rough clips and added them together. I changed the audio a little bit by adding some background noise throughout almost the whole clip and changing the length of sounds.

Swing Life Away









In this clip, I wanted people to feel like they were on the swings themselves. I wanted people to imagine how it feels to be on a swing and how it felt to play on the tire swings in grade school.

A Day at the Park









In this clip, I wanted to get the feeling of excitement at a playground. I wanted viewers to feel how children feel at a park, how they are energetic and rambunctious. I wanted to take away the sounds of the children and people, and focus more on the sounds of the playground sets and how they make kids feel.

Car Alarm


I took these pictures at the Mckinley Beach parking lot, as well as the car alarm sounds. There is also the sound of a garage door opening, which I found on my way walking to the beach. Someone was opening their garage door and I asked if I could record him opening and closing it. It was a little strange, but the lady was very friendly. I also recorded the sounds of dog tags as someone walked past with their dog. I tried to use that sound as if it were car keys.

Production Strategy

For this trek, I plan to go back to Lake Park located on North Lake Drive. I intend on working more with the playground this time. I also plan to go to Mckinley Beach again and work around the kite stand. I am going to see what kinds of sounds and pictures I can get at this time of the year. Since it is getting colder outside now, I anticipate there being far less people in these areas. I want to see what it will look and sound like without so many people around.
For my image capturing strategy, I will use the extreme close-up, which is no wider than 8 inches. I will also use the least expected angle as another strategy. For sounds, I plan on recording only things that I hear at the playground and around the kite stand at Mckinley Beach. At the playground, I plan on trying to stay away from sounds of people and steer more towards sounds that the playground sets make.

Ten Questions

1.) What other kinds bridges are there in the area?
2.) Are there more houses or restaurants in the area?
3.) What kinds of differences would there be on North Lake Memorial Drive between night and day?
4.) What other kinds of sounds can be found on the playground?
5.) What kinds of sounds can be heard at the beach?
6.) What does the kite shop look like at different times of the day?
7.) What kinds of differences are there at the park and the beach at different times of the year?
8.) How do different angles effect pictures of the same object?
9.) What kind of differences in feelings can be portrayed from the playground?
10.) How does the park look and sound when there isn’t anyone around versus when it was full of people?
