Reflection on Filming Sessions: King's Cross (Final)

Reflection on Filming Sessions: King's Cross

I'd like to think that King's Cross was one of our most fun locations to film in.

The first time we arrived at King's Cross we were planning on filming a couple of base tracks at the bird's cages because, the lights a top were usually on. However, when we arrived at our destination we found out that they were in fact NOT on and, we were definitely disappointed. But since, King's Cross is a very big location, we decided to go near the UAL University and climb up the View Point which gave a beautiful outlook on the whole of the city. 

Once we climbed at the very top and were able to see the view, we started setting up our equipment and turning on the lights. There was no one else with us, to interrupt our shooting so being the last day of shooting (or so I thought) I was very comfortable infant of the camera. We began shooting and everything was going great. The camera movement was top standard, we had filmed a variety of shots which we can use when we go back to edit. We happen to go near the little fountains which displayed colour, we were filming and then we ran out of memory space. Luckily enough, we thought that we had everything we wanted from that location.

I couldn't wait to go home and change out of my blue jumper and white t-shirt which I was freezing in. Anyway, we came back to college, and starting laying out our base tracks and looking through our footage when we found that we didn't in fact have enough close ups and variety of some of our medium shots. Back at it again, we had to meet up on the weekend again and go back in with shooting. This time we did everything, and we also managed to visit some extreme close ups of my face. The costume was the exact same as the last time we were shooting along with the makeup, especially the red lip. Everything was looking great.

I came back to college with Duygu and Esther, we added the footage back on to our track and began editing. It was a great experience. Although we came back to reshoot in King's Cross, we were more than happy to be finished with filming and carrying the heavy equipment everywhere we went.
