Production Strategy
The one spot I always got a good shot from is the Park and Oakland intersection right outside my house. The lights flash, stay solid, traffic is always going through. I can see the intersection from my balcony, on the ground, in the intersection. There is many different views of the intersection I was able to access and many different light patterns constantly crossing the intersection. It was my main focus to get good shots of this intersection and only at night could you get the visuals that all the different lights put off. Night time shooting was my main focus because of the possibilities for lights to show. NIght time and sunset were mainly the times I went out to shoot. The sun at sunset gives off a radiant stream of light that I couldn't resist. The sunset had to be in my video but I had to figure out a way to make it, not just another sunset. I had to separate myself from the rest of the cliche videos that I figured would be created by other students.
Ten Questions
1. Can anything be captured besides the everyday occurrences of the city?
2. What would be a the best time for different lighting? Dawn, dusk, mid day, or night?
3. What are some of the places where people seldom go?
4. Can a different view of something greatly effect the way it looks?
5. Is there any way I can make an everyday item look different?
6. How can the time of day make an area more interesting?
7. Can I physically affect lighting to create a different image?
8. Is there anything out of the ordinary?
9. What is the lowest or highest view I can get of an area?
10. Where can I go that the rest of the Film 116 students have not gone?

Drift Assesment #4
The best moment of this entire experience was not the recording, editing or filming of anything but when I watched my final video with my roommates. My roommates are business majors and have absolutely nothing to do with the film department or even have a care for art. When I made my drift 2 videos they all laughed and asked "what the hell was that?" for all eight of my videos. To tell the truth I didn't even know what the hell my videos were. After adding colored effects and sound to my final video clip, they were honestly facinated at how I turned my drift 2 videos into the final video I have made for drift 3. Everyone that had watched the video said they either felt scared or it gave them the chills. To hear my roommates who had made fun of my progress and videos to say they actually felt scared or even the fact that my creation mentally and physically effected them gave me a sense of chills.
