Production Log Week 1

Production Log 1:

This week I went out to London South Bank to start the Introductory section of my documentary. Here I introduce the topic title which I will be finding out the answer to throughout the 5 Minute Documentary.

 We filmed around the South Bank to introduce the documentary as it has a lot of Graffiti around the area and I thought it would be a good start for the topic I have chosen to do.

I chose London as a location because of the sceneries and mainly because of the graffiti section along the south bank. Also as London has a lot of restaurants I wanted to do little shots of the all the logos and talk about how Graphics is all around us.

Also I planned on doing vox pops during the filming process but unfortunately it had started raining so I aborted doing vox pops which was a massive let down for my documentary itself. This is where I have filmed the introduction. I think the graffiti portrays graphics well as graphics requires artistic skills in order to take it. I have also done establishing shots which shows the area around where I will be introducing the topic. Also I wanted to show a lot of colours in my documentary as it is based on graphics and art so it makes the audience more engaged.

There was a big constraint regarding the filming of this section as the skate park was occupied and it was too loud to film as the camera didn't pick it up. Also there was a massive crowd which were talking and watching the skaters do stunts and the echo did not help on top of that. So I had to alter this section by not doing it in the specified area and had to do it elsewhere.
