Production Strategy

In my final trek I have planned to explore more extensively the park area that lies at the end of Layton Avenue as well as the journey to my trek area (this would pertain mainly to my bus ride over to Layton Avenue).

I have created totally new capturing strategies for my final trek. I plan to capture video of objects only while the camera is zooming or moving and always ending a video clips with a movement that will set me up for easy transition in post production (this strategy will be understood more easily upon viewing the final and rough clips).

For my sound capturing strategy I have made it a goal not to record any sounds I did in my first trek.

Ten Questions

1. What areas explored during trek 01 and 02 have changed?
2. How far does the beach span?
3. Is there and alternate entrance to the beach?
4. How does the weather compare to the prior treks?
5. What points of interests exist beyond Layton Avenue?
6. Does the park at the end of Layton Avenue have more visitors than before?
7. Does the day of the week have an impact on the activity in the area?
8. What mood are you in compared to the previous treks?
9. Will you spend more or less time on trek 03 than you did on the first two?
10. Is there animal life?

Trek Assessment No. 4

My favorite experience of all my treks was the discovery of the hidden beach I mentioned in the previous post. I would say this finding made my treks worthwhile. I'm surprised I even found the beach in the first place since it was so tucked away from the world. Embarrassingly, after almost killing myself on my journey down to the beach on my first trek, I found a much more practical means of accessing the beach on my second. However, during both of my visits to the beach I encountered a very haunting vibe attributable to the absence of people. I was the only one present on this huge abandoned strip of sand and rock. If I yelled I doubt anyone would have been able to see or hear me. When I stood at the end of one of the docks all I could see behind me was a tall wooded hill that spanned miles down the beach. It almost felt like my presence was wrong - that I wasn't supposed to be there. It was a very unique experience to say the least and one I will reflect on for hopefully the rest of my life. Luckily I brought along my 35mm still camera and took a few photos to capture the experience. You may view the photos below.
