Progress Report

Acquired even more pictures to use this past week. Got some very good overhead pictures of West End Field, showing the surrounding area. The overhead views are good to show the comparison of West End Field and Fenway Park to show the same dimensions of the playing field. However, it will also show the overall size difference of the two stadiums as well. Fenway has significantly more seats and is a much larger overall ballpark. These overhead views will show these differences and similarities very well.

Noon Sunday

Here is a view from my bedroom at noon on Sunday. My bedroom is on the second floor of a townhouse apartment, and has a view of the parking lot in the center of the apartment complex. You can see my Jeep on the right side of the picture. This is my baby. I try to keep my Jeep parked off by itself as much as possible to try and keep away from door dings. This is why there is a space on both sides of my Jeep. You can see in the picture the screen of the window. The screen puts a checkered look to the picture, almost giving it a pixel type feel. It looks as though this may be on an old computer screen with a low resolution. You can tell how dry the area is by looking at the ground in front of the cars in the parking lot. There is not much grass left in the area. Also, normally this time of year the leaves on the tree would have changed, but they have not yet in this case. Some have a little, but not like they normally would have if we would have received a normal amount of precipitation. The shadows from the trees show you where the sun in. My window faces east, so you can tell the sun is pretty much directly overhead, in the south part of the sky, as it is casting shadows almost directly north. This picture has a lot to say about the day.

Progress Report

I have come up with a final list of 7 songs to work with in my video. This accomplishes my first goal on my project time table. Also, I have continued to collect pictures of West End Field and started to collect pictures of Fenway Park as well. I am looking for similar camera angles in order to better compare the fields to each other. I have been somewhat successful with this so far, but have a long way to go. I hope to have collected at least 30 total pictures by the end of this week. I am also trying to determine what is going to be a good program to work with in order to assemble this project. I would like to the video to be approximately 8-10 minutes in length. If this is the case, I must determine the approximate time for each picture to be represented in the video. A good portion of how long the video will be is based on the songs I choose to use in the video and the detail in the pictures in order to give the audience a chance to view the entire image.

Project Progress Report

This week I spoke with the media relations head at the Greenville Drive and found some good pictures of West End Field. I am working on contacting an individual with the Boston Red Sox in order to possibly get some pictures of Fenway Park and get permission to use them. I have looked through my music library and have come up with a few options for songs to use in the video. I have 7 options right now, will probably only need 4 songs at the most, so I will narrow that down once I start putting the video together. Next week I hope to have made contact with someone in Boston in order to get a few pictures from them. I also hope to have all of my pictures that I might need of West End Field and start to think of a natural progression of how to display them.
