Day Two, horrible weather today so that will have had an effect difficult to go out although we did in the morning and we walked around the whole route and we made recordings of the museum staff talking about parts of the park we also identified the 10 different things that we would hide for the hide and seek we then got back and I couldn’t even get them to download the photographs they had taken they were far too keen on youtube and facebook and things like that I couldn’t wean them off that but it was also difficult maybe because there was another group in the room so we were rather cramped but they weren’t particularly keen on working today for some reason today so we put the computers away and I got the big map out and we were hoping to mark all the different bits and pieces of the sounds scape that we wanted onto the map and we made a start on that but again the interest very quickly waned and the interest, the lack of computers was too much of a disappointment so it’s really just group dynamic and group chemistry and maybe they were getting hungry I don’t know so then I got the computers back out and I was trying to get them to download ambient sounds and ran into more technical difficulties because a lot of the sites need you to log in a lot of sound clips aren’t free even though they are supposedly from free sound sites so I really need to find a comprehensive completely free downloadable sound site or else we need to go out tomorrow and create many more of our own sound effects and fill the thing with the noises that we make so some thinking to do tomorrow but lots of ideas for tomorrow as well we need to go out and we need to do more storytelling that is my main feeling
