Production Strategy
1. I want to explore an area that almost combines my first drift and second drift, So I would like to stay around the Capitol and Oakland area. For my third drift I want to concern myself with lights and sidewalks, and other forms of reflection for the video, and long and quick durations in sound, and I think this area is the best place to do that.
2. One of my image capturing strategies shall be to film images with reflections or shadows such as sidewalks, glass, or water ect. Another one shall be to film multiple man-made lights at night such as stop-lights, lamp posts, car lights, store signs, ect.
3. For one of my sound capturing strategies I will focus on short hard sounds such as types of construction work, car horns, dog barking, bird chirping. Another strategy shall be to record long soft sounds such as, certain types of cars passing by, running water, airplanes flying over head, ect.

Ten Questions
1. Is there a location where something seems very out of place, or does not fit with its surroundings?
2. Is there a location that has great movement and natural rhythm, other than cars or water?
3. Where is there a natural looping sound, or a consistently repeated sound other than cars?
4. Where are there interesting locations that create wonderful contrast viewed from close up to far away?
5. Is there a location with great depth and layers in sound?
6. Is there a location with great depth and layers in video or still pictures?
7. Is there a location with visual contrast between nature and man made objects?
8. Is there a location which has long and short duration of sounds melded together?
9. Where is there an object that visually changes in a short amount of time?
10. Where is there an object that changes in audio in a short amount of time?

Drift Assessment #4
4. Describe your favorite experience, situation, place, or recollection from either of your Drifts. Be specific about what happened, how you felt, how you reacted, and why you think this particular experience affected you so much.
My favorite experience so far has been recording down by the Hospital loading dock. It was around 2:00 pm so the traffic was pretty steady and I stood right across the street from the south end of the hospital which was under construction, but currently not being worked on. I started to record up and down the street with the sound of passing cars echoing off the unfinished Hospital, I remember feeling very relaxed and comfortable not only with recording but with other people noticing me as well. I also thought there was such an excellent sound that was being recorded, but if you listen to it it sounds very much like regular cars. However, if you listen closer you begin to pick up this excellent echo that makes the sound much more dynamic. I think this experience affected me most, because it made me comfortable with the uncomfortable and it also forced me to really listen and focus not only on the dominant sounds but what is behind that sound as well.
