PRODUCTION- Day 1 filming
On the first day we filmed at Southbank, this location was for the skateboarder scene where we wanted to film certain people doing tricks on skateboards, bikes and also scooters. The weather when filming on the first day was no good as it was raining, we choose south bank as it was a closed place meaning that if it did rain in which this case it did we were protected from getting wet. There were many people at the skate park when wanting to film and we asked if would of been ok to film them as we thought they were really good most of them said yes. Most skaters showed interest in what we were doing and had also had experience with the camera (shooting skate videos) they gave us useful tips of how to film them when they were doing certain tricks for us. Most of the advice given was to film from an angle so we go the effect when they did a trick. We filmed the skaters from different angles in the skate park mostly from outside to get the action taken place, we also had to film where the right reflected most as the skatepark was dark due to it being under a shelter.
In south bank we also decided to use the graffiti walls to film a base track for our music video. We didn't intend to film the base track in south bank but we identified some graffiti walls that we thought would look good behind a base track. We filmed various footage of both skaters and some base tracks we thought it would be a good idea to film the base track just incase we wanted to use it somewhere in our music video although in the end we did feel the graffiti wasn't as effective as we wanted it to be.
When filming our footage we made sure we took plenty of stills as well as recordings of us making our way to the location and also interviewing our skaters.
