Final Film
For my final I combined the sound of ringing glass with shots of Lake Michigan. I wanted to make my sound more abstract and have my film be more basic simple shots.
Rough Cut Sketch Three
For this film I recorded the sound of glass. I made the ringing sound by circling my finder on the edge of glass cups. They each had a different amount of water in it so that I got a different sound when ringing each of them. Then I put the sound with more nature shots.

Rough Cut Sketch Two
For my second film I wanted to use shots of nature with the recordings of chirping birds that I had gotten.
Rough Cut Sketch One
For my sound I recorded breaking glass, and some recordings of me tapping on metal. I wanted to use this sound only with film of puddles.
Producution Strategy For Drift Three
After my experience with drifts one and two, I decided to explore Lake Michigan in more depth. If you check out my google map, you see exactly where I decided to explore. I choose this place because for drift two I was able to film and take pictures at the lake when the sun was setting and it was very peaceful. I was hoping that I could bring that satisfaction and peace back to me by doing drift three there as well. I felt this was a promising place because it gave me joy to go back there and film.
I also want to film mostly nature, and try to create my own sounds at home. I wanted to be a little more creative with my sounds this time so I decided to really think about it and come up with some ideas that I could record at home. By limiting myself to only work at home, I was able to use more time to think up unique sounds. I came to realize that there are so many unique sounds just in my own home.
Also by limiting my filming to only my house and Lake Michigan I could decided what I wanted to film, and also try filming the same things at different times, to get different affects. My strategy was to only film organic objects, like trees, puddles, flowers etc.

Ten Questions
1. How will this look different if I come back during sunrise, sunset?
2. Should I try recording these birds at an earlier time?
3. Where does this railroad lead to?
4. Where can I find gardens to film?
5. Should I create my own rain or should I wait for it to rain?
6. What will this sound like if I record it numerous times from different places?
7. What will I capture if I just leave my microphone, or video camera on for no certain amount of time?
8. Can this mess up turn into something that might look or sound really cool?
9. Is it better to try to film more abstract or straightforward nature shots?
10. If I don't capture it now, will I really be able to do it later?

Assessment Four
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.
I had already gotten all of my video footage for my drift three but on Friday (4/25) there was a huge storm and I decided, at the last minute, to go out and shoot some more. It was really amazing because it wasn't raining yet but the sky was a grayish blue and there were no clouds in the sky. It was also really windy. It was such a surreal experience, like you expected to see a tornado cross in front of you. I think it affected me because it was also unusually warm and dark. It felt like something I'd seen in a movie.
