Production Strategy
For the final drift, I would like to walk the campus. Unlike many students, I have lived off campus for the last thirteen years and currently reside on the far south side. It seems natural as a student to explore the areas surrounding campus and thus I would like to focus on this area for my final piece.
For my image capturing strategy I will be capturing only extreme close-ups covering a distance no wider than 8 inches.
I do not want to limit my sound captures other than with the rule of keeping it to the campus area. I hope to catch the essence of the campus life style since it is not a life style that is familiar to me.

10 Questions
1. Are there any side trails off of the railroad tracks?
2. Are there different types of trains that might make different sounds coming down the tracks?
3. What does the environment sound like in spring as opposed to winter?
4. What difference will the return in migratory birds make to the sound environment?
5. What type of transition can I capture walking from an urban area into a natural area such as surrounding the train tracks?
6. If I retraced my steps would I record the same material?
7. Is there an area that I can survey both the naturalness of the tracks and the surrounding urban environment from?
8. What types of juxtapositions will happen between sound and visual filming the conjoining areas of natural and urban space?
9. What will be the difference if I go to the environment during day as opposed to night?
10. Will my personal mood be reflective of the way that I film the environment on that given day?

Drift Assessment 1
1. Describe two situations that aggravated, bothered, shocked or otherwise stressed you during Drift 1 or 2. (Please note that the situation CANNOT be technology-related.)
The first scenario that bothered me was that people stared at me with the camera which at times made me feel uncomfortable. The second scenario that was semi-stressful was the weather. The days that I filmed were extremely cold and either raining or snowing.
