Production Strategy

1) I will explore the areas that could be seen from the tower on North Avenue. This includes going from the tower towards Lake Michigan, and the other direction down North Avenue.

2) I will gather images taken at night, images incorporating water, and images using a Dutch Angle.

3) I will capture sound by recording with the microphones as far apart from each other as possible, and as closely as possible to what I am recording.

Ten Questions

Are there any striking vantage points?
Is there an interesting river bank area?
Are there many people on the bike/walking path by the river?
Can I stand in the middle of North Ave. anywhere?
Are there rocks that I can stand on Lake Michigan?
Does the sun go down over the lake?
Are seagulls still around?
Can I get away from the sound of cars anywhere?
Are there many elaborate neon lights on North Ave?
Are there any smaller pools of water on the beach?

Trek Assessment #4

I had been taking pictures of the tower at the end of North Ave. and was walking past it on my way down to the beach. I was wondering what exactly it was and what it had been built for when I saw an old man walking by. I caught his eye and said hello to him. He must have seen me taking pictures before because he just started talking about the tower and telling me about how it had been built as an old water tower. I loved that there had been this nice, jolly, old man there to answer my question immediately after I thought it.
