Production Strategy

My project has become about discovering an interesting texture and then tweaking it in a way that makes it totally unrecognizable. I think it’s interesting to show someone something they see everyday but through a new lense. I’ve found that this works the best with reflections and shadows. There is a parking garage next to my dorm building that has huge puddles on it after a rain so I am going to explore this further. The high elevation makes it easily reachable by the sun and the wind creates interesting ripples in the puddles.

I am going to restrict my image capturing by only filming things that can be changed into something unrecognizable, whether that’s by framing or effects. I want to capture textures. I’m planning on jumping from one spot to the next as I see it but if I get stuck then I will walk in the opposite direction the shadows are pointing to hopefully discover interesting shadows.

1. For my sound collecting, again I want to capture everyday things and from them create something totally unusual and different. For sound this might mean atmosphere sounds or just strange sounds that I happen upon.
