filming week 2

Filming dairy week 2

I have been filming again recently and I now have about 25 minutes of film that I can use from the POV of the bike, now I think I need to add some storey into the film, most importantly the drug bits, I have filmed some short sequences of pills on a kitchen table, I think when I come to edit I will work these into the film as flashes on screen only on for a small amount of time.

Filming dairy week 1

*I have started filming my trailer and so far it is going well. I have decided to film at Seven Kings Park, as it has a skate park and the right amount of ramps and jumps for the action shots. This location is also good because it means there will always be a variety of people riding bikes and skateboards around anyway; this means it will look a lot more like how I want it too setting the appropriate mood for my trailer. I have mainly been filming by attaching the camera to the front of the bike and just riding around and up and down ramps. I have watched all of this footage and so far I have a few shots I think I will be able to use but I will be getting a lot more over the coming weeks.

making my film trailer and location shots

making my film

i have decided that i want to shoot my film in two locations. the first  will be Seven Kings park, Ilford, Essex and the second in a dead end street which i wont post the name of as i don't want people going there. to film in seven kings park i have sent a email to the people that run the park, and so far they have not replied and i am not convinced they will reply at all. i have gone to the park office and asked there and they refereed me to the same people i had already emailed. Although the park keeper did say that he didn't mind if i used the park to film my trailer.the road that i am going to film on i have taken location shots for and these are below, i have asked all the residents within this area if it is OK for me too film there and explained what the film will be used for.all  of the residents there have said it is OK for me too film there.
