Filming - On the streets

Me, Eleanor, Jadar and Moshope have started to film on our streets locations - Lea Bridge Road and other small roads next to it and our college. We decided to start filming on road near Lea Bridge Road as we found it a good location to film on our way, the reason why is because we believed that filming in these roads were quiet and  we were not distracted by people walk.

At first we did practice runs to make sure we know what we are doing. The reason why we did practice runs was because we had a prop which was a crown which was required to be broken during the shoot, so therefore we only had one chance to get it right, So the practice was effective as we got the shot correct the first time round.

When we started filming at Lea Bridge Road lots of cars and people were coming past as it is and open area / public place. What we did was that we decided to take some establishing shots and do a performance shot as the cars and buses behind me were out of focus and for me the artist was in focus. This was one creative thing we done. However there were minor problems while filming, one was the lighting for example the sun would come one minute and go the next. However we decided to wait for a couple minutes for the sun to disappear as the song is called Cold Streets so it can relate. 

Overall i believe that the shoot out on the streets went well as we managed to get the filming done. We made sure that everyone in our group was hydrated. There were no major problems and hazards, and we managed to get back to college safely.
