What is the task?
I was given a little sketchbook for the next five hours. I was to spend this exact amount of time at a location and in this sketchbook I was to record absolutely everything. Sounds, conversations, what I saw, what people thought, what was going through my mind at the time, everything. Page was to be completed. Luckily in my location there was more than enough to keep me preoccupied and to get the book filled with the necessary documentation.

What Next?
Now that the five hours are over, I now have to create a short film piece which explores a sense of place through image and sound. For this, I had the nice idea of choosing 5 different aspects from the book which I designated into the hours in which they occurred, and portraying them in the form of a journey in how I came about recording them. Sound will also be included by using the sound effects I had recorded prior to filming and also use captions to explain just in case people have trouble interpreting the sounds themselves.
