Photographs from filming

We had our first filming session on Sunday 24th of January, around Waterloo, Richmond Park and Hackney. Original plans were to also film in Greenwich and Vauxhall but time restrictions meant we didn't film in these areas and will probably just cut these ideas from our video.

I took some photographs throughout the day to document our filming.

Leake Street tunnel in Waterloo, London's designated graffiti area...

The lighting in the tunnel was perfect, and the colours of the graffiti came out beautifully. We utilised my fisheye conversion lens in our video and I think the results are really striking and unique. 'The first types of fisheye lenses to be developed were "circular fisheyes" — lenses which took in a 180° hemisphere and projected this as a circle within the film frame.' We love the distortion and effect the fisheye creates; we can capture more of the tunnel and create a more visually interesting shot.

We attempted filming some deer in Richmond Park, however, it was impossible to get close enough to any; we ended up chasing them, meaning any footage we got was wobbly and completely unusable. When we finally had a perfect shot the camera stopped working, so we missed out. We continued to use Grace's digital camera to film, and in the end we felt that using this camera was better, as the colours and quality of footage were superb. We decided to cut the deer footage from our video, as the footage just isn't of good enough quality. We will probably also cut the flock of birds as well, because we have not yet seen any.
