This document is an edit decision list for a media studies portfolio project filmed in London. It reviews 53 shots taken around landmarks in London like Trafalgar Square, Camden, Westminster, and the London Eye. For each shot it provides the camera code, length, shot type/angle/movement, whether it was a good or bad take, and any notes from the camera operator. The purpose is to select the best shots to include in the final portfolio project that showcase different areas of London.
