Progress Target setting

In order to complete our research and planning we need to:
- complete our editing diary
- complete our filming diary
- complete relevant online tutorials

In order to complete our production task we need to:
- film some establishing shots (when we go to America)
- film a few more shots of our antagonists
- film the exterior shots of London (at night)
- finish editing

Diary of filming - 16/12/15

Date: 16/11/15
Location: London
Cast: Chloe Hicks



Whilst up in London for the day we decided to visit St Pauls, this could stand in for the exterior shots we needed of Lincolns memorial in Washington. In America they may have been tighter on filming regulations and we may not have been able to film nor had the time to and so by filming it in London we were able to guarantee that we got these shots. We were unsure what shots to use and after arriving later in London were on a tight schedule so didn't have time to get a variety of shots but i feel we have enough to use in the trailer and is enough to make people believe we were in Washington. 

We still need one more shot but this can only be done when in Washington as it requires the background of the Lincoln memorial - the reflecting pool opposite and so we will shoot this next month when we're in Washington but it is not crucial so if we fail to get it we can still finish the trailer.

The only remaining issue is the fact there amy be snow on the actual Lincoln memorial but this is an issue we will have to wait and see if it becomes an issue or not.

Diary of filming - 01/12/15

Date: 01/11/15
Location: Leatherhead
Cast: N/A

Today we went to shoot a time lapse in Leatherhead to use as part of our trailer, we went at around lunchtime hoping to get the most people walking past as possible. We originally shot sat on a bench with the camera facing down Leatherhead high street, there wasn't as many people as we had hoped and we weren't sure if the angle was right so we decided to get another one as a reserve. For this we felt a high angle would be good and so we figured if we went to the roof of Leatherhead shopping centre we could get the right angle, we managed to get 2 good time lapse's and will hopefully be able to incorporate them into our trailer successfully to add to the value of the trailer and make it look more expensive and professional.
