Micro Project Four

The video takes place in my car.  I spend a good amount of time driving on a daily basis, whether its going to and from work, classes, or other random errands.  Driving can become so much of a habit that you don't always realize all of the other things going on around you. There are always a countless number of things going on in the background when you are driving. For example pedestrians, people on bicycles, polices sirens, the radio, etc.  Not that you can close your eyes while driving but if I were to close my eyes these are the sounds that would make me aware of where I was.

I took video footage of me driving and added a soundtrack to the video.  In the soundtrack I tried to emphasize all the distractions that can occur while driving. Like many other people I am guilty of trying to multitask while driving. Therefore I tried to add some of those noises into the soundtrack.  For example I will talk on the phone on my way to work.  So I added in a cell phone ringing. Sometimes I also use my time in the car to think and simply have time to myself.  Therefore there are points in the video where there isn't as much going on.
