12th October:
I did some research on the architecture of my favorite places in London, Covent Garden and had a rough idea of what I wanted my video to look like. On the same day, I headed there to start filming for the first day.

13th October:
This was the second day that I was out filming. By the time I was finished, I had gotten shots of all the historic buildings I had done research on.

2nd October: 
I made sure to start my planning for this video pretty early so that I could have enough time to film and edit my work. I started by drawing some detailed storyboards to have a clearer idea of what I wanted to shoot in order to put my video into a more clear perspective.

3rd October:
I was able to start filming this weekend while I was out in Oxford Street. Just some basic setting shots and also in store shots too.

7th October:
This was the second day of filming for this video. This time I traveled to Covent Garden to take more fashion relate-able shots that would hopefully make my video a little more interesting.

London Transport

Pre-Production for London Transport

Production Log

30th September:
I began planning to film for my transport video. Including drawing up a storyboard of the shots I might want to film. I also jotted down a few ideas of what I wanted to insert into my video.

1st October: 
This was the first day that I went out to film. I filmed the black cabs and the train and bus stations in Clapham Junction. Following that, I made my way to Battersea Bridge. Here I filmed various methods of transportation including boats, cabs and buses, and people jogging and walking. I then entered Battersea Park in the hope to film some skateboarders and cyclists.

This was the only day I was able to film which affected the quality of video badly. For my next project I hope to leave more time to film and edit my work.

Location Report

Location: Battersea

Address: Battersea Bridge Road, London SW11 3BZ,England

1st impression of location: Different variations of transportation/travel to film. Including, public transport such as buses and cabs, to skateboards and boats. Battersea, therefore being a great place to film a variety of transportation methods.

Lighting: Due to being out in the open, there was plenty of natural lighting to film in, which in turn lit my shots very well.

Sound: This location was surrounded by sounds of  vehicles, police and ambulance sirens, people chattering, boat horns, helicopters etc.

Sound  problems: When it came to issues with the sound, I believe there was too much background noise from the roads.
