Filming Day 1 - 10th Feb: The establishing shots

Today we filmed our establishing shots and all the ones without our characters in them. We got shots of the traffic lights, Angel station, various roads and crossings. We got a panning shot and a still one for each location so we can decide on which ones would look better when we edit. We also got shots of a telephone box as we thought it was typical London iconography and would be good to include.

We had a problem when going to Angel Square to film, as we did not know it was private property and security guards quickly (and meanly) put a stop to our filming, which was a problem. The weather was also horrible today - it was raining and cold. My group and managed to get our shots whilst the rain paused for a little while, so we overcame this problem.

On Thursday, we will be getting all of the shots with our characters in them. We just need to pop down to the canteen to film these shots as we have done all the shots we need to travel for today. This weekend we will work on a rough script, but we have already planned the shot types etc.
