JI: Finished Animatic

I finished editing our animatic last Thursday and now are just waiting for it to be uploaded on to the blog. Finishing this before our shoot was crucial especially when planning our shoot for the day, and gaining a feel for what our footage was going to look like.



We now have to start cutting and chopping the footage we gained from Saturday's shoot in London which went really well, and begin our editing process!

GROUP:Recce Reflection

On saturday all of us went down to London for our first main recce, where we planned to shoot most of our footage for our video. As a whole the day was very successful, we shot all the footage we planned to film there and also got some excellent stills for James's print work.
First we started at Charing Cross train station, where we filmed some band perfomance on the platform. We also filmed quite alot of filler shots for the beginning of our video, for example, we managed to film the train journey in and also the band getting off the train.

Next, we went to Somerset house to do some filming within the house grounds. We originally planned to use the fountains in our video however, the fountains had been covered by an ice rink. Despite this inconvenience we still managed to film some footage within the grounds.
After the location shooting at Somerset house we travelled to Southbank to film the rest of our shots. We filmed shots at the Southbank fountains and in the tree area behind them, the fallen leaves gave the footage a real autumn feel and also gave a coloured look suited the end of the song.

Individually, I spent the day doing camera work and helping direct the different scenes.
