Half term filming

During half term we had to reshoot some things that needed to be added to our documentary either because the sound wasn't good or the footage was really shaky. We as a group then decided what day and time was great so that we could get new footage. We then decided to film some London landmarks on Wednesday 17th February at 4:00pm meeting at Liverpool Street. On this day we also decided to do our ad shots as well and I had to take charge because it was my initial idea which I thought was good for our documentary. At the time that we met up a sunset was occurring so the lighting was really beautiful but we was running against time so he had to walk a little fast in order to get to the Gherkin . Once we got to the Gherkin there were a lot of things occurring around it such as building sites and cranes that we then had to decide to take pictures of a different landmark which was the Shard. Along the way we passed Southwark Bridge and we were able to get a great view of the sunset against another bridge that we decided to film to benefit our documentary. We also came across a boat coming with a large amount of passengers passing our bridge which we also filmed as another transition shot moving from one clip to another. I unfortunately had to leave a little early because I had other arrangements which I had organised previously.

On the following day we then needed to meet up at Springfield Park in order to film our interview with Jackie. We were meant to meet up at 1:30 but unfortunately some of us were running a little late and unfortunately one team member couldn’t make it. On this particular day the weather wasn’t really on our side because it was extremely cold. We met up at the café where then began to set up and then told Jackie what was going to happen. Because we didn’t have a tripod Andrew had to have a steady hand. During the interview there was a lot of noise occurring so we had to reshoot the interview so that we could Jackie more clearly. After finishing the interview we then began to film stuff which we would then use as segways such as when she would talk about her café we then had something to show her making something to make the documentary more interesting and were able to see her at work. Once we were done we then decided to film another initial ad which was the keyhole and we began to look for keyholes which we thought would enhance our ad and make it more interesting.
