Production Diary 3

Filming
Today (Saturday 28th February) Me, Frankie, our actor Dan and another actor Steven we used went back to Leak Street London to get more shots that we needed for out title sequence. We took a list of things that we needed to get on with in order to get most of our footage from this location. The weather was appropriate for the day by there being clear skies and no rain or weather that distracted us from filming. We used a DSLR and go pro to capture our footage. The go pro camera was used for a shot where we kidnapped a politician by putting a bag over his head, by using go pro it made it more effective.















We used the DSLR for other shots like our actors running towards and away from the camera wearing a gas mask and hospital masks.

 We managed to capture a clip of Dan dragging a baseball bat along the gate wearing his gas mask which is what we wanted and also a clip of him dragging to bat up a slope on the underpass where we would track him with the camera handheld last time. We successfully got what we needed at Leak Street for today and as it is covered as it is an underpass the weather didn't effect any of our filming.  We also captured the spray paint shot that we didn't manage to get before, it wasn't as good as we had hoped but we still included it. Here are some pictures from the day:


We later went back to the houses of parliament and captured the bus shot that we didn't manage to get in focus last time.

Production Diary 2

Filming
Today (Monday 23rd February) we filmed our news report using Mr Grimsley as the news reporter. We used the green screen so we could edit it later and make it look like a news studio so it is more realistic. We planned to do two new reports inside and one outside where he would be on a London 'street' reporting the riots but as it was raining that day and we didn't have the right props we decided to film three 'studio' reports. We shot a storming of the new studio which we thought ended up being better as it is a better way to end the violence and anarchy.

Here is one the shots that we filmed today;

Production Diary 1

Filming
Today (Saturday 7th Feb) Me, Frankie and our actor Dan went to London to start filming our title sequence. The aim of this journey was to make sure the location we had thought of was what we expected and to try and capture some of our opening  shots we had drawn out for our storyboards. We travelled to Leak Street underpass under Waterloo East station. We managed to capture a clip of Dan dragging a baseball bat along the gate wearing his gas mask which is what we wanted and also a clip of him dragging to bat up a slope on the underpass where we would track him with the camera handheld. We successfully got what we needed at Leak Street for today and as it is covered as it is an underpass the weather didn't effect any of our filming. Unfortunately due to not being able to make the stencil yesterday we couldn't film a spray paint shot that we hoped too but will do it the next time we go to film. Being at Leak Street it gave us potential ideas in which we could use certain  areas for our violent footage. Here are some pictures from the day:


 

We also went to the houses of parliament in order to gain some shots of the publics feet, big ben, the houses of parliament itself and a bus driving past. The weather was what we hoped for this shot but we couldn't seem to capture what we wanted at this location as it was too busy. This is a photo we took that wasn't what we hoped but is a rough idea of what we may have wanted to get.

Song choice

Me and Frankie both agreed on the found on onhttps://audionetwork.lgfl.org.uk after hours of research. We feel it has a distorted kind of feel to it so it matches our theme carried out throughout the title sequence.
