Filming in London: We had to be strict with our time frame for the two days of shooting. As all our filming took place in London, we took into consideration train times (early or delayed), weather conditions, the walking distances/ times to each location and timings for breaks and lunch. By acknowledging all these factors, we were able to structure our day better as we were now more organised in dealing with these factors. We had to film on two separate days (18th and 25th January 2020) due to our actors not being free. However, it was more successful because it allowed us to focus on the actions that we wanted our actor to portray.
The hardest shot to film: was in Piccadilly Circus because there was huge amounts of traffic and it was extremely busy, nevertheless, that didn't stop us. It took over 15 takes to get the right shot for the scene, where the associate (Jake) crosses the road and the female detective (Evie) follows. The main reason it took so long was because we had to wait for cars to pass by and for the traffic lights to go red. luckily we were able to, at the end of the shot, create a transition to the next scene via the female detective (Evie) walking past a public citizen.

Nicely presented account of two very demanding days' shoots. It must have been incredibly complicated in those locations with a relatively big cast!
