Drift Assessment 3

An unexpected situation I encountered during my first drift was the conflict of consistent sound recordings of nature. I felt that I was to experience how to capture sound but had ignored how to do it in a way that would work for me. What I mean to say is that, I didn't have an idea of what things I want to capture and work with in audacity. In doing so, my sound recordings were all over the place. It could be looked as a good or bad thing, depending on what type of person you are and how you work with things, but I'm more of a person that likes to plan things before they start. That is why I feel my work in drift 2 was more successful and satisfying to work with because I was able to plan what theme of imagery I wanted to capture versus sound recordings, you record whatever you find is out there at the moment.

A second unexpected situation I encountered was during my second drift. I didn't expect the weather to be so cold that it would prevent me from capturing imagery during my walk. However, I had to go out multiple times through the same route to make sure I captured what I wanted. Even so, the most surprising thing was that with all the imagery I captured, there were a lot of good shots that I was able to take and choose from to compose my silent film. I was very pleased with my overall imagery and so my hard work paid off in the end.

Another astonishment was the final recordings I had gathered from my first walk. It was too loud or too quiet. I didn't like what I was hearing. The cold weather prevented me from going out again on such a long walk. It was a situation where I was forced to work with whatever I had and go from there. I was extremely unsatisfied with the results but I hope to divert myself away from this problem again or else improve upon so that I won't result in any more suprise bad recordings.
