Shoot One: Filming in London 5/12/10

For our first shooting day, we decided to film in London as it is a very busy city where surveillance cameras are placed in every corner of every street.

We were able to get various shots to help our documentary opening, which was our first task to complete.

Our first location was Oxford street. We wanted to use oxford street as a place to shoot a couple of crowd shots from different angles. We were able to do this by attatching the camera to a tripod and placing it on a flat surface on which the camera overlooked the crowds.

Whilst in London, we took a look at Abbey road crossing of which a live stream footage captures peoples every movement and is shown on the internet for anyone to view.

When walking along oxford street, We came across a 'Mobile CCTV' Van of which police monitor peoples movements from inside the vehicle. We got the chance to look inside the van but unfortunatly were not allowed to film for legal reasons. The van monitored all the streets and crowds in oxford street to help prevent crime.
