In this Trek 3 blog, I tried to explore a great deal of things, and it turned out that I wanted to do too much. After my first part of the Trek that I took to Atwater Beach in Milwaukee, I decided that I needed to focus on fewer things and, for the most part, I decided to keep that focus on what was around that beach. For my visuals, there was so much to look at such as animals, trash, things washed ashore and the water itself. When I went over my imagery and my sound, the strongest clips came from just merely exploring the water and absolutely nothing else. The imagery of water came through as extremely beautiful and intriguing. Also, in my sound recordings, it is hard to get away from the water when you are on a windy beach, but I wanted to show things visually so you weren't quite sure where you were, and match that with audio that made you not quite sure as well. In most of my posts, you can see a pattern were I try to give very little away about surroundings in terms of sound and visually right away, but then slowly reveal information to the viewer.

I, Andrew Nordstrum, put this post in mp4 format, so it should work with most computers. In this post, I decided to take the clips that I had put together from the Trek 3 post and manipulate the timing and order of the clips that I used. At first, I wanted to make the sound in the beginning very obscure, but I realized that since my visual was, my audio did not have to be. I wanted to make it so what the viewer is looking at is not obvious right away. I wanted the subject of my blog to be slowly pieced together through sound clues and visual aid.
