In the first two weeks of production, the group recorded the narrator's voice using a mini voice recorder supplied by the teacher. They had to re-record parts of the narration 2-3 times due to script and participant changes. They also conducted vox pop interviews of diverse students on their country of origin. They aimed to capture medium shots from the shoulders up to make the interviewees feel relatable. In week 3, they gathered cutaway shots of areas around London like the Thames river, London buses, and other landmarks to use alongside the narration. They filmed people passing by London Bridge and outside a moving bus to create a time lapse effect in editing.

2. Shooting Week 1 and 2:In the first week of production, my group and I began to record the voice of our narrator. In order to do this we used a
mini voice recorder supplied to us by our teacher in order to capture our narrators voice accurately. However, we did
have to re-record her narration to different parts about 2-3 times during this stage, due to some changes in the
narration on the script and also due to changes in participants. This also made her voice sound different during
different parts of the narration due to her being in different rooms. My group and I acknowledged that we would have
to edit her voice later on in order to keep the continuity of the narration.
We also during that week did some Vox Pop interviews of different students in our college to find out what countries
they originated from and demonstrate the diversity in the school. My group and I ensured that whilst using the Canon
Cameras we capture medium-close up shots, from the shoulders upwards so the audience didn't feel inferior and
were able to relate to the interviewees as individuals, as well as where they were from. We however to capture
pictures of ourselves recording the narration or the Vox Pop interviews so I took a screenshots instead from my
production.
These are a few examples of
the students we used for our
vox pop interviews.

3. Shooting Week 3:
During week 3 my partners and I began to gather cut away shots to use along side the narration in the
introduction of our mockumentary. These cutaway's were taken in the areas of Elephant and Castle, London
Bridge and Rotherhithe where were able to capture shots of the river side of the Thames, the London Buses
and other significant areas that make up the city of London. The weather was not helpful at times as the wind
was very loud and it was quite cold during this period which made it difficult to film.
We also recorded the movement of people passing by London Bridge and also recorded outside the bus while it was moving.
By capturing these shots we were then able to use the Final Cut Pro editing software to conform a time lapse representing
the passing of time to the audience. Here are some pictures we captured during our filming:
Here are some examples of the
types of shots we took for our
cutaways on London Bridge,
Rotherhithe and Elephant and
Castle also.
Here are some examples of shots we gathered of
peoples feet walking past for our time lapse, and
we also filmed some pigeons for effect to
demonstrate our range of shot types.
