Initially we had the idea of capturing the atmosphere of a skatepark in the form of a time lapse reflecting the gradual change from the desolate early hours to when it peaks at mid-day portraying the sounds that would be apparent at these times. However this proved to be an unachievable idea as the skatepark was never completely empty nor was it extremely busy and so we felt it would be hard for the audience to distinguish the different times of day, so we decided to go for a more narratively structured piece outlining the characters journey to the skatepark followed by a variety of sounds that attempt to capture the variety of movement found at this place of recreation, ending in a failing trick attempt leaving the character concussed. We felt this twist the end would maybe come as a surprise to the audience leaving with them to think about after the presentation, crashes being a prevalent part of the sport and culture, something that must not be forgotten. My inspiration is shared by my work partner Tom as we both enjoy residing at the skatepark to escape, though I ride a bike I feel the two sports are similar in many respects, the sounds associated with a bike are heard throughout our work.
