Review of 16/09/2011 – 5pm/10pm shoot

Positive points

The shoot went well during the times [5pm -7pm] with only light showers as the weather report predicted. Although there was a time when it got heavier and had to stop shooting for a while.

The locations turned out better than expected as there was a few evening events going on in the square/quad such as the Derby Big-wheel which I didn't know was in town, which made a lot of the shoots look more interesting as it represented how far away from the centre I was as well as how active the central area was, this helped my theme of inner and outer city more visual to the audience.

The other location that was more interesting than what I was expecting was the Derwent river which had a good representation of division between the inner and outer city as one side was more simple with trees and walkways while the other was busy with construction sites, larger buildings, bright lights and more people.

As the evening got darker it allowed me to get more interesting shots since the bright lights within the city stood out more and gave the footage a mellow/exciting mood. This is a good way of showing the entertainment venues at their peak because most of them only open in the evening or at night.

Negative points

The only problem within the night was most of the venues don't start to gather people until after 8/9pm so it was hard fining ones where people begun to populate, I wanted a large amount of people to gather around evening venues to make the city look like it was busy/faced paced and popular at night, although I did try to combat the lack of people by shooting the same location from multiple angles and using two shots one being and establishing shot and the other a close up of the venue and people, these techniques helped give the illusion that there were more people just by the use of using two shots instead of one.
