My Production Strategy

For my Trek 03, I'm thinking of starting at a wildlife refuge in my hometown, South Woods, then ending my walk at my friend's house, about a 3 hour walk, if I circulate all the trails. South Woods, will provide the nature shots and hopefully the sun glare shots I hope to recreate. The walk will cover some ground I'm familiar with, traveling...in a car, not on foot. My friend's house has a pool table and ping pong table, for my second rough sketch. I'm using the same light capturing strategies as the previous trek, camera movement, rule of thirds, and the sun's glare. But in different ways or at least I hope. I found myself not limiting myself, but forcing myself to push on. The first two rough cuts came with ease, but the last one, was hard finding new material, and I'm not entirely sure I found any.

questions to ponder before Trek 03

1.Can I utilize the sun's glare again?
2.Are there parts of the woods I did not explore?
3.Will the forest sound interesting?
4.Is there more to nature then I have recorded previously?
5.Are houses as interesting as nature, to the eye?
6.Is there an aspect of life not filmed yet?
7.Are close ups just as “establishing” as long ones?
8.Are man made objects artistic as nature?
9.How will I stay warm for 4 hours?
10.Am I forced to stretch my trek area, for the sake of 4 hours?
