overall I think it was fairly successful we gained a large coverage of the city covering a diverse range of juxtapositions, shooting plenty of footage. The 6am edge lane had a great atmosphere with morning mist and a low sun peaking through the cloud. It was surreal on edge lane we were zigzagging between streets which got more and more deteriorated until one was just rubble, then there was a street with new builds on one side and edge lane boarded up houses on the other. I hope we managed to capture this oddity to share with the audience. It was a bit weired that all the roads were still open despite demolition being in progress, during the day there was a hive of activity with workers and trucks, we got a matching tracking shot which had completely changed by the day, e.g large skips had been moved, trucks and flatbeds blocking the view workers moving etc. this will be nice to have a repeat match shot showing the development and transformation of a city motivated for change.
These were our two chosen stills for the production folder which I think sum up our project well, focusing on different light throughout the day, taking one from the edge lane section and one from the city section which takes in culture, heritage and maritime themes. I used a stills camera to capture better quality stills for print, I also used this to take a photo of the shot I wanted then showed the camera man how I wanted the shot composed through the image, except he setting up the tripod for a static shot.
