Group: Evaluation of Shoots

On Tuesday 30th October 2012, Alex and Dan went to South Bank and Camden in London for our first shoot. They went to the skate park and filmed several people performing tricks on their scooters, bikes and skateboards. They also got some shots of street dance performers and urban scenery. After watching these shots back on the computer, we have realised how successful these shots are and we have achieved exactly what we wanted to: a wide range of short interesting shots of different angles and movement. The only problem that there was, was the fact that they did not ask members of the public to look directly down the camera in order for us to have some 'people' shots. However, we took this into consideration for our next shoot that we had planned in Brighton.

On Friday 2nd November, we went to Brighton for our second shoot. All three of us attended and went visited several areas of the city to get as many shots as possible. Firstly we filmed Alex rollerblading down the road along the seafront, then we filmed scenery and people from our walk to Churchill Square, to Brighton Train Station and to The Lanes. We have achieved an even wider range of interesting shots and this time we had the confidence to ask members of the public if we could film them for our video, increasing the amount of 'life' shots. We also had more equipment when we went to Brighton: the track and the steady cam, meaning we could get more professional shots. However, we had a few problems with the track as it was not as long as we wanted it to be.
