Production: Filming Session / 29th

Reflection: Today's filming session involved taking the 73 bus a few stops from Angel to Essex Road. We took this journey in order for us to film our scenes of the less privileged rapper on the block. The location we chose was exactly what we wanted as it shows the grittiness of the area and reflects the characters 'background' well. Again, our choice of costume was a success as the less-privileged rapper dressed in the stereotypical hoodie, sweatpants and trainers.

This is the only location we went to on our second day of filming as we knew it would take a while to get the right amount of shots, as well as travelling back to college. After looking back at the shots we took, we decided that we didn't need to re-shoot any shots because they were what we wanted and we thought that we had the right amount. However, whilst in the middle of filming, we did need to re-shoot a lot of the shots as little things such as the subject looking into the camera, or coming into camera at the wrong time prevented us from getting the best material to edit.

Fortunately, it didn't start raining until we left so this caused no delays to our filming schedule and we managed to get the camera on and off the tripod well.
