Production Progress 4

Part of our idea was to get shots of London specifically at night, however today most of the group had other priorities so i took it upon myself to help push our progress further by traveling around London and getting shots.

I came up with this idea of playing 4 videos of different locations as the titles appeared this would altogether lead to 16 clips. At first my plan was to get shots of tourists attractions (16 different ones) that make up London however after some research i found that i needed permission to do this...

This put me in a dilemma and caused me to think of alternative ways in which i can achieve this idea. After talking the idea over with my sister, she suggested that I could get someone to drive me around London while I recorded different landscapes. I also thought of changing it into 4 locations and getting then from different shots. 

From here we ended up having a mixture of both so then I will be able to choose from a variety when it comes to editing. So in the morning I headed out with my little cousin (who's only 5 and still managed to help me get some amazing shots so thank you to Sami) and we took shots of Tower Bridge, The Shard, City Hall and the Gherkin as well as the Thames and they are all viewable from outside my house, luckily. After i headed to East India (Docklands) with my sister and got shots of the O2 and Cable Cars. Then at night i asked my dad if he would be able to drive me around while I recorded some shots, we travelled to Isle of Dogs, Bethnal Green, Whitechapel, Bricklane, Aldgate and crossed Tower Bridge and I got some good shots which I am happy with. So a massive thank you to my sister and my dad for helping and supporting me, I hope to make you proud with the final product.

As I was driving around I thought of an idea of how I can edit all this in and not deviate from the storyboard too much. I came up with the idea of these night shots playing as the opening titles appeared and then have flash shots which would be the shots I took during the day and then have the film title and the head straight on into the film. Hopefully it will be a success in the end.

Now all there is left is to get 2/3  more shots of Andres on his phone, at the bus stop and possibly entering a bus as it drives off, which we will get once college starts up and then it's all perfecting editing.
