Description of the recording place
We choose to shot the Italian Market, an open air market in South
Philadelphia
Description of the recording location
We placed the camera on the northwest corner of the market to try to
capture as much of the market as possible. We wanted to capture the
vendors opening their shops and preparing for a busy Saturday. You
see the store fronts, their colorful aunings, and cards lining the
sidewalks. The shops generally are located on the ground floor of row
homes which are typical of this section of Philadelphia. Most likly.
the shop owners live in the apartments above their shops.
What is special to the choosen location
The location is special, because it combines so many elements - it's
a market place, an urban landscape, and a cross culture nub. I think
it is also an excellent cross section of Philadelphia - of it's
architecture, it's landscape and it's people. Everyone who comes to
Philadelphia visits the Italian Market, yet it's more than just a
tourist attraction, it's "life" in Philadelphia working class.
What does the recording show
The recording shows vendors preparing for a busy shopping day.
Unfortunately, things weren't as busy as we expected, but it was a
chance to see the market start to come to life. You see many
pedestrains, cars, trash trucks, and vendors. You also see a few dogs
and a cat looking for scraps of food in the street.
What can be heard
For the most part you hear cars and trucks driving down the main
street of the market. You also hear several pedestrains asking what
we are doing and at the very end you here a car screech to a half
behind the camera as it hits a dog in the street. The dog is fine, in
fact he ran off down the street immediately after he was hit. You may
here some music in the background and one man singing as he walks
down the street.
