Production Strategy
One thing I plan to explore on my third trek is refraction by using glass and unnatural light. I'm going to head to a busy intersection, Oakland and Locust, and use the unnatural light that will refract through glass objects. I think this will be an interesting concept to pursue due to the nightlife I'll be able to capture, which will further help me to create unique combinations when I edit.
Ten Questions
1. Do small objects work well for reflection?
2. Are there ways to get interesting refraction while moving?
3. Can light diffusion coincide with rapid motion?
4. Is there a way to shoot the moon at nighttime?
5. Can unnatural light create clear refraction at night?
6. Are there any glass objects in particular that will refract unnatural light at night?
7. What time of day does light seem to reflect the most?
8. From what angle does general diffusion look the most interesting?
9. Other than bodies of water, where does water make interesting reflections?
10. Can more than one of these phases of light be captured in a single image?

Trek Assessment #4
My favorite experience within the first two treks was being near the water. It made for a very peaceful environment that was easy to work in and provided me with some new thoughts for trek 3.
Trek Assessment #3
1. A very unexpected situation that I encountered on my second trek was a large sailboat being lifted out of the water by a crane. There were dozens of people standing around watching this, and while it was an interesting thing to film, I ultimately chose not to use it in any videos.
2. Another surprising event was the Badger football game that was going on in my trek area. Even from far distances around the Madison campus, I was able to pick up little bits of sound from the stadium.
3. Finally, the overall amount of activity was surprising to me, considering that both of my treks were done in the middle of the afternoon on Sundays.

Trek Assessment #2
1. One time when I felt particularly at ease was when I filmed at a lake in Madison. It was on my second trek during October, which still made for nice weather and a calming environment.
2. There was an instance when I was recording sound on the first trek and realized just how much sound the mics were able to pick up. When I played the recording back, I was very surprised to hear several sound elements, such as voices, that were a good distance from me when I recorded.

Trek Assessment #1
1. The major issue I had on both Trek 1 and Trek 2 was wind interference. Even with the windscreens I had prepared for my mics, a noticeable amount of wind could still be heard on some of my recordings.
2. Another problem I seemed too have a little too often was the sound of voices cutting through some of the things I tried to record. In most cases people were talking very loudly or yelling, which made their voices all the more noticeable.
