Todays work-3rd (Pardeep)

Today all four of us went bond street and oxford circus to start doing some serious filming. We got up soooooo early and by the end when i got home i was soooo tired but it was defiantly worth it!!:)

what we wanted to achieve was:

  • getting big crowds
  • filming inside shops
  • speaking with workers in the shop to get their view
  • names of shops for our montage sequence
  • getting vox pops
  • to place the camcorder in front of a shop-so when we edit, we can speed it up to show the amount of people going in and out

we successfully managed to get our crowds from different angles, especially high angles looking down and we got many shop names.
However, when we went inside the shops the mangers told us that we needed consent from some department to allow us to film- so in a sense, it was a let down as we were unable to interview a shop worker and get a variety of shops from the inside :(
Regardless of this, me and Kareina (as Dipz had to leave early and Simi was on the way) still went inside Mango and got some filming done (of shoes, clothes etc and it was really good), but then we were asked to leave by security. After this, me and Kareina went into Gap and filmed a bit on the sly :)
The day was not a waste of time, as we got footage of:

  • the inside of Mango
  • the shop names-like topshop, topman
  • the crowds which were the most important to show how busy it gets
  • shop buildings- camera pans up- to emphasis how big the building is
  • We also got footage of a queue which was emerging in front of HSBC, to reinforce the amount of cash spent.
