Production Strategy
I have decided that I will record images and sounds for my Trek 03 on the trails and land near the surrounding the Milwaukee River, between the village of Campbellsport and Highway 45. The area has many trails and paths on which I will be able to encounter the Milwaukee River, various trees, leaves, and plants, and other natural landscapes. On the visual end of things, I will capture my images at various distances and angles and will also record water and its movement. For sound, I will keep the microphones close to each other and also close to the sound that they are recording to give a close-up/intimate feeling. I will also record brief close-up sounds with intentions of later composing them into a larger sound.
Ten Questions
1. What differences are there between night and day on the Miwaukee River?
2. Are there any places on the river that have more interesting sound qualities than others?
3. Are certain objects more interesting when seen at different distances?
4. Are certain objects more interesting when seen from different angles?
5. Will certain areas produce more interesting sounds under different weather conditions?
6. Are there any objects that will help produce interesting patterns or rhythms in sound?
7. Are there any areas or objects that show unique movement?
8. Are there any areas besides the Milwaukee River where water movement can be found?
9. How have the leaves, grass, and landscape in general changed since my previous treks?
10. How will snow or rain affect my images and sounds?

Trek Assessment #4
The most satisfying experience that I had during my first two treks occurred while recording for trek 01. I was standing on a walking bridge that crossed over a river as I recorded stones being dropped into the water. This was such a satisfying experience for me because the setting was really serene and laid back. The river was calm and quiet, there weren’t any people or cars nearby and the sun was just beginning to go down. Al l of these elements together made for an excellent recording experience.
