This movie is my final cut of the imagery and sound I gathered to compose of a walk downtown. In building upon each rough cut, this final cut is what resulted from my overall review and hard work.

Roughcut 3: Looking Around downtown
This final third rough cut is composed of similar imagery of the the previous two. My whole thought on it was to work off of one another in my rough cuts and finally compose the final work of what I want to represent.
This is a look at downtown near North Avenue. It consists of 360 degree turns of the look of the city and walking through the streets. The purpose of this clip is to focus on the different perspectives at different locations in a given area.

Roughcut 2: From day to night and night to day
This second rough cut is the use of still and moving imagery. I wanted to incorporate a type of narrative in walking downtown by starting with my still imagery of the sun to the ending of the cars passing by at night back to day.
The point of this clip is to infuse the different perspectives a walker would discover himself/herself.
The sounds I used were of what would commonly be heard when going downtown passing shops with music playing, people talking, and cars passing.

Roughcut 1: An eye for detail
This clip is a representation of a walk with sights seen at a rare perspective. It is an insight of what one could really see if given the chance. But, you can really make up your own mind about what you think the narrative is, the clip speaks for itself.

Production Strategy
My production strategy consisted of being confined in one area to discover new and small things within that area range. In doing so, I was able to walk around numerous of times to rediscover things I have missed that were found unusual or just plain interesting.
This was applied to my still and moving imagery as well as for my capture of sound downtown.
My sound capturing strategy: Capturing the surrounding sound of people, cars and music; the life of downtown of what it really sounds like to be there.
My imagery capturing strategy:
*360 degree recordings of different locations within the downtown area.
*Unique and eye catching patterns
*Similar patterns that connect to another (Ex. the ray of sunlight that you will notice in my movie clips)
*Walking as if the audience was downtown

Ten Questions
1. Are there great connections between buildings downtown?
Yes. Most buildings that are located downtown are made of brick or are bars that have neon signs glowing every so often.
2. Is there a house that has a very unique and interesting architecture?
There is one house that is unique in that it stands out from all the brick and bars. It is a house in the middle of this busy bar and brick building pattern going on downtown. The house is a pink attached to a bar.
3. Are there any places where sound takes on a strange quality?
There is one place by a bar where there is a vent that is constantly making a loud noise, whereas the general sound of downtown is just music, people, and cars.
4. Where can I find music playing in the open?
Most of the music that can be found downtown are playing in speakers outside of bars and restaurants.
5. What differences are there downtown between night and day?
During the day, there is people walking, birds chirping, and yes, sunlight. During the night, all lights are lit and glowing, people are at bars, bars have their doors open, letting laughter, talk, and music into the night.
6. What are some strange things that are found downtown?
Strange things that are found downtown are just basically the structure of downtown. There is a laundry mat across Urban Behavior and right next to the laundry mat is a Korean Restaurant. Strange but interesting.
7. Are there any buildings that will give me access to a high and panoramic view?
Unfortunately not.
8. Are there any unique patterns on buildings?
The unique patterns are mostly found on the older buildings made of brick.
9. Is there an area that takes your mind away from busy city life?
Yes, there is a more resolute area by the library building. It is on that block that if you walk around, you can find less noise and relax your mind more than going deeper into downtown.
10. Are there any specific spot that is busy for the whole day?
By the bus stop on the corner of North Avenue and N. Oakland Avenue. The traffic there at the stoplights is nonstop. There are always people bustling out of the Pizza Man restaurant and people waiting at the bus stop.
