Draft Production Strategy

Well for this project I think I am going to try to focus on Frame Park's stretch of the Fox River in Waukesha, WI. After going to Frame Park for various other recordings and videos, I've found that this particular area sticks out the most to me. I was very peaceful there, and I felt most connected to the spirit of the park. So when I go out on this next trek, I'd like to explore why I felt that way. I'm not going to worry so much about people noises or activities, or any specific noise, really. I just want to get the atmosphere. I think I'll back up and walk close, etc, so I can feel the atmosphere change, and be able to see why it changes ad from how far away. I also want the pictures to show how I feel while I am there. That's a bit harder, because I am trying to get an overall feel of the park. I think I'll focus on the water itself and the dock. I'm not going to worry so much about the shore itself, unless it's the very edge. Most of my pictures will focus on areas of the dock and water. I want this video and its sounds to be atmospheric and slow, quiet and relaxing even. I'm not sure yet if this will come across as boring or too "spirit" like. I don't want people falling alseep necessarily. I want them to feel drawn in, like they are engaged and invited to come lay on the dock with me. I want them to want to be in the area I depict.

If you've never been to Frame Park, this is its basic location:

Unfortunately there are no better maps than that online.
