Soundtrack - video are sound are definate components - think of purpose and effects of the sound. music vs noise - foreground/middle/background - music is pleasant ... noise in annoying. Choice and time are key elements. - music is sounds chosen in time! Ideas - soundscapes for bio organisms - understand symbiotic relationships -- does not have to be musical - thinkof it as a sound poster -- complex organism should have complex sound -- bio mass (pop should reflect sound bytes/length) -- sound should represent organisms not what they emit as voice/communication

Active Ecology - sense of place - system thinking - respect and responsibility - taking action - define nature (not human effected) -- are we part of nature? - location is key - defines needs for video (wwf - save water eg)

Video montage is powerful! Picture images in rapid presentation is powerful. Focus in on one point or theme.
