The following is an account of the various situations that I encountered during my treks that opened my eyes to such things as cultural and social issues I ran into, surprises, emotional reactions, and outcomes of my on-the-field decisions.
One rather interesting social issue that I came across came when I visited the Germantown park. I should have known better from the beginning, but it was funny to see just how many skeptical glances a mother with a child at a park will give a silent, beared, wool-capped, microphone toting man. Another surprise was my reaction to the projects as a whole. After learning about the style of this class and the projects, I was definitely skeptical. After experiencing the harmony and peace of the sound recordings and the asthetic beauty of the locations I photographed and filmed, I had a much more positive outlook. One more instance to document was my on the spot decision to create the stop motion ride down the slide clip. I was originally going to do a stop motion clip of me on the swings, but after realzing that I had to redo part of the clip a few days later, I found myself unable to (after starting) due to the fact that the weather was drastically different the second time around (a factor I had not accounted for until I got out to the field). Thus I decided to change the entire clip to a series down the slide which became one of my favorite clips.
