I believe the sound of the wind and footsteps recorded in this video reflects with today’s sites because the first park we visited was on a pier and therefore, very windy. At times, my hair brushed against the phone and made a swishing noise, which I slightly captured in this audio. The sound of wind was not only representative of our time at Gantry State Park, but also in the rooftop gardens/farms we visited today in Brooklyn and Queens.

The sounds of footsteps walking in the Nature Walk and around Newtown Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant is representative of the different materials our classmates stepped on at our sites today. The Nature Walk was made up of mainly gravel materials. The substances we stepped on today were countless; ranging from wooden pathways that led us to the different tanks at the Oko Farms to the crackling of the oysters that were places in the soils of Brooklyn Grange Organic Range Rooftop Farm.

Yes. Today's experiment really made me think about what types of sounds I want to incorporate in my final film that would reflect New York City's dynamic landscapes. Whether it's a tour guide explaining the history of a rooftop garden, the sounds of sirens from and ambulance, the songs of birds in the morning, or the sound of waves hitting a pier. Subtle sounds like stepping on gravel or tree branches brushing up against one another in the wind could also be very powerful parts of my film.
