Review of 1st Time Lapse Location Shoot

we made our way to the shoot from a trip to the BFI, for a another subject and decided to shoot whilst we were in London. we started filming near the eye to begin with to get the sun going down in the distance behind and having big ben and houses of parliment inside the circle of the london eye, this shot was filmed on jay jay's camera for two hours continuously, we really enjoyed it till about an hour when we all wanted to move because of the freezing weather And i had spotted a mary go round on the southbank and wanted to film this. Jay's camera run out of battery after two hours, therefore we completed, packed away and moved on to our next part, whilst waiting for the film then noticed over the wall a merry go round, we then decided to go round and film there for a while too, Jay offered to go on the ride. whilst i shot it. We then moved onto Westminster bridge for our next location, this went very well especially with the people walking in the shot, it shows London's popularity and busy streets reflect what we want to achieved, a well established, desired destination. Following the bridge we went and had a break with hot drinks. Then came back to film Big Ben, a shot which i had seen when researching and i had spoke to the boys about it we was really happy to find it. we had one more tape with an hours footage left, therefore we filmed Big Ben for an hour and completed the night with a beautifully lit shot of the eye and the museum. Which became my favourite shot of the night, I really enjoyed myself and so did the group, seeing our footage we are really pleased.

Things we could of done better....
Took another camera for more footage to film.
Another battery pack to have more time for the footage.
make sure we have hats, gloves and something to keep us warm.
Food and supplies to keep us going and feel better.
Here are some photos...
