COURSEWORK - images whilst filming

We filmed in a variety of places around Wymondham in order to fill up the rest of our two minute film opening as we hadn't made it to the exact time limit. we decided to fill it up with filming rough, high poverty areas around Wymondham because this way it would fit into the idea of being 'below the breadline' and the idea that society is changing rapidly over time, and that places around popular areas are not getting used any more and people are ruining areas by putting graffiti on 'nice' areas.

Where we filmed and why?
We filmed in an abandoned warehouse in order to get some good still shots of some rough looking areas. This warehouse was perfect because nobody lives or uses it anymore so it is completely trashed with just old usage. Another good feature of this warehouse was the graffiti on the walls. This made the building look like it had been taken advantage of and used by younger people as a place to 'hang out'. There is hardly any wall space without graffiti on the walls which also insinuates on how rough it looks. As you can see in the image, behind me is a pile of old bricks and rubbish that has just been dumped there, it is like this all over the surroundings of the warehouse which also helps make it look rundown and rough.
The next place we filmed was a rough looking house, with rubbish and rubble left outside. We got a 10/15 second shot of this house because it looks rundown and helps insinuate on which areas around Wymondham are run down. At the warehouse, I also got a shot of rain drops dropping down off the side of the building, I also tried to be as still and as quite I could be when I was filming this section because when filming I want to try and get the audience to hear the rain drops. The rain drops will help show off a sign of depression because rain is not a happy environment to be in, especially when being 'below the breadline'.

We then filmed at Wymondham train station on top of the stairs in order to get a view of the train tracks from a high view point. We got a shot which was not actually shot on the building, we did it the opposite way in order to make the environment look more still and poor in a way of there not being any busy movement.

We got about 5 different shots at around 15 seconds each to fill up the last few seconds that we need in order to finish our coursework for our video around wymondham of all the rough, still looking areas.
