Day four of filming

On Saturday the 7^th we all went up to Embankment where we filmed all the shots from south bank and on the bridge. We met at about 2.30 and worked until it got too dark for us to keep continuity levels at a realistic level. We found the whole day very productive and by the end of the day we all huddled into Starbucks where we warmed up with a hot drink. However while filming we ran into some problems. Initially I found it hard to remember the lyrics to the song, but we overcame this by writing the lyrics on paper so I could deviously read off them while looking at the camera. But the fates we having none of it and while filming on the bridge the pieces paper flew out of Alamaz’s hands into the Thames where they shall rest forever. Secondly, while filming the shots where I remained stationary while people walk past me, the public found it very hard to not look at the camera or back at us filming which was very frustrating to witness. Nevertheless, the whole day of filming was great. We had fun, got school work done and had some MORE Starbucks!

We are now up to a point of filming where we believe that we should focus on editing what we already have, which is about 5 hours’ worth of film. Once we have edited to a good enough stage of work that we can do the initial showcase we will continue filming the remaining locations, and if needed revisit the old ones to see if we can capture anything else that could work well.
