MP4 Write-up

For this project I decided to use my dorm for all three videos. For the first clip I used my phone to take a video of the water hitting the floor in the showers of Park-Stradley. During my morning showers before class, all I really only notice is the sound of the water beating against the floor and how cold the air is when I get out. Above all, the thud of the water hitting the floor of the shower is the most distinguishing sound.

My second clip is of the door to my room being unlocked, dead-bolted open, and then swinging shut, bouncing off the door frame as it collides with the deadbolt. The main thing I notice about this action is the sound of the bang as the door smacks the frame, and the sinking feeling that I will have to pay for its replacement when it inevitably breaks. If I were to close my eyes the sound of this bang would immediately let me know where I was.

My last clip is of the blinds being opened in my room. This is a sound I hear almost every morning when I wake up, and typically the first thing I notice (besides the loud noise of the chain) is how bright it is outside as my eyes are starting to adjust to the increase in light. In all reality if I closed my eyes and heard this noise out of setting I might not recognize it; however, if anything were to familiarize me with this sound it would be the chain being pulled through the mechanism.
