Week 1 – Catching visual and audio visual for bicycles

For the first tutorial our class were given the assignment of taking pictures of bicycles around the city and also capturing audio for it as well.  Our class went to a cafe to get to know each other and then we were divided into groups to capture the visual and audio material.  There was no shortage of bicycles to take photos of and I tried to be diverse in capturing the images.  But I struggled to figure out what audio to capture as bicycles don’t make much of a noise compared to other distractions in the city.  So I decided to approach a few bicycles that were locked up and recorded myself ringing the bells on them.  I felt kind of awkward doing this as passerbyers  were looking at me quite strangely.  Eventually I managed to capture enough material and am now interested in how we are going to utilise this material in the future.
