3.9. Posts of technical and logistical successes during production

During the two week program of shooting my footage, nearly everything went well and smooth.

I managed to shoot all my shots at a minimum of 3 times, giving me a range to select the best shots when editing my footage.

I also managed to get better angles in some shots that i was looking to do within the first place. This means that i have a variety of different shot types to choose from once i begin placing shots together.

I experimented with a few shots, taking them from different angles (shot types) to see if i can get better shots which would build up the tension and excitement within the thriller.

The overall process of shooting my footage went really well and i am now ready to begin editing. :)

Monday 16th November 2009 - After having trouble finding clips on the internet of news channels talking about gang crime in London, i decided to make the protagonist watch a film at the begginning of the opening sequence, preferably watching a gang culture film, or a film that contained a sense on thriller. While searching through my DVD collection, i came across the British Award Winning film, Adulthood. I found an even BETTER piece of footage from the film than the news channel, which will fit in GREAT with the opening sequence. In order to use the footage, i got in contact with the Writer, Director and main actor of the film Noel Clarke via Twitter, asking him if i can use some of the footage for my opening sequence. In no time he replied back to me giving the all clear! :D
