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.
