Draft Production Strategy

Promising location
The bridge over the Milwaukee River on Wisconsin Ave is at the heart of downtown Milwaukee. There are a variety of sights that are familiar to almost everyone who has even passed through on the bridge or Riverwalk Way, but there are also many things that may be overlooked regularly by even the most regular visitors. Gathering a wide variety of obscure and abstracted images from this area I feel I can create a video that is interesting to both people who have been there and people that have no ties with the place whatsoever.



limitations on light capturing activities.
I want to gather light in one of two ways. Using a small digital still camera I will take a series of shots creating the feeling of movement towards the open space created by the river at the bridge location by photos that sequentially become closer from four different directions. I will also gather a great deal of close up, abstracted images of objects around the space to use in the generation a rhythms and patterns using colors and shapes.

limitations on sound capturing activities
Using a similar approach to the one for light, the sounds gathered should be a mixture of identifiable and abstract sounds. The plan is to record ambiance sounds as well as using the structure of the bridge and other metal objects to gather unique and unidentifiable sounds to and the the sense of rhythm and motion.
