First filming session - 26/01/09

As we were much organised, on Monday we knew exactly what we were doing. Myself and my group arrived in our lesson very promptly which was good, because we did not have to wait around for any one we just got straight to business. As soon as everyone had arrived, we went straight to Mary, informing her that we were ready to leave. She then took our details, (as in our mobile numbers, what location we were filming in etc), followed by what equipment we were planning on taking. From there we just went straight to the technicians room where we picked up the equipment we needed, and then begun our journey to London bridge.
As soon as we had arrived at our destination, we got straight to work, Zeneath and Rebecca were the camera men, and myself and Tony were the actors. We started off with a slow pan from a perspective showing Tower bridge, across River Bank, then gradually onto the London Bridge, where the camera meets me walking down towards the camera. We then done a tracking keeping the camera focused on me continuing walking, however also focusing on my surroundings, which shows tony waiting by a railings. We then shot from many different angles, and many different perspectives, showing me walking down the stairs which leads to where all the drama is going to take place. At this point, the camera again pick up on tony while walking out a building towards me. Next, we show an over the shoulder shot, showing things from Tony’s perspective, over looking the River Bank, and me walking down another flight of stairs. We then use a long shot showing tony walking down the same flight of stairs. Coincidently, we saw a security man who insisted on playing a role in our script, therefore we asked him if he did not mind playing a police officer, telling me to stop hanging around. At this point of time, it had already reached 11:45, and we were expected to be back before lunch which is at 12:15, therefore we decided to pack up and start heading back to college, as we had finished majority of the filming anyway, due to our good teamwork and determination, leaving us a small minority left to do.
As a group, we decided to continue this filming in our next lesson which was on Thursday 29th.
