Half term filming

Monday 18th February 2013

We ended up filming a lot of good shots. We wanted to get people on their phones and establishing shots of buildings and different types of technology being used. While we were there we thought that a timelapse would work really well, with our fast pace documentary; we put the camera on the floor of a bridge at South Bank to get good, clear shots of people walking past. We did have some issues with it, when we arrived on the bridge there was loads of people on it, and then when we decided to put the camera down there was hardly anyone walking past, which meant that we had to leave it there for quite a while. After about 5-7 minutes, crowds of people decided they would like to cross the bridge, YAY!!

Dakota also thought that get people crossing the road at Trafalgar Square would be another good timelapse, because we wanted a sort of birds eye view of the street and we couldnt get any higher than ourselves, Ali made use of his brain and jumped on top of a metal box on the side of the street...

We managed to get some really good shots from there...woop!

It was coming towards the end of the day and we needed the sun, so we had to get moving. We wanted to get infront of the big TV boards at Piccadilly Circus, to film for our voice over. We thought it would be a nice idea to follow up on the timelapses for a alternitve ending, were Ali is standing on the corner of Piccadilly and traffic and people are moving fast behind him. This went very well, after we managed to find a tripod...

I was a human tripod...the only problem was that this kept making us laugh. It must have taken us over half and hour to get a 2 minute shot. We got it in the end, with a lot of laughs still in us, we went home.
