For the Record

I am completely aware that all of my posts now have the time stamp that they are from the same day. I assure you that this is not the case. I had not uploaded something that was due earlier on time but i did tonight. However, seeing that blogger places everything chronologically, my first cut would have been on top, preceded by my final. I found that this would be confusing so i quickly changed it.

As you can probably deduce by just reading, i had not quite followed my original plan of starting in waukesha. This happened in part because i had spent a little too much time working on capturing my film when i should have spent equal on my sound. But also, add on to this the fact that i had become quite ill with the notorious chest and head cold that had been going around and much of my time being taken up by getting better and other mandatory requirements. but i did the best that i could with what i had and still had a fantastic time doing it.

I decided to change my location simply do to the large amount of people that were in the Third ward on this day. But i feel that i got better photo's than i could any where else.

Drift 2 Strategy

For my Drift 2 Strategy, I am going to set two different alarms on my phone. one for five(5) minutes and the other for eight(8). both alarms set to a different tone. That way, when ever the 5 alarm goes off, i know to take a left and when the 8 alarm goes off i am going to take a right. When the two happen to go off at the same time, I am just simply going to cross the street and start going the opposite direction. If by chance i can't make a left or a right turn when the alarm goes off, i am going to pause what i am doing and take a multi-shot 360 degree panoramic picture of my current location. This strategy is more-so geared towards my collection of visual elements for my final drift 2. For collecting sound, if i cannot make a turn either direction i will reset and turn the spot where i can't turn into my new starting point where i will get a base sound to catalog where i was and than i will switch which direction i turn for ever alarm. So if i originally turned left for every 5 minute alarm, i will now take a right and vice versa for the 8 minute alarm.

For my starting point in visual media, I typed in Milwaukee Third Ward into google maps and it points to a parking lot on the 600 block of Menomanee St. that is where i will start.

For my starting point in audio media, I am going to do that in my hometown of Waukesha, where i can get slightly more rural sounds with still a slight metropolis feel. I typed in Waukesha into google maps and the point lands at the 5-way intersection of North St, Madison St and Delefield St. That is where I will start.
