SA - Shooting on Location (LONDON)

On Sunday 14th we went up to London to film clips of crowds and our main character, for our montage at the start of our opening two minutes.
We originally planned to film in trafalgar square as there are familiar buildings and statues that will relate to the setting of the whole film. However when we arrived, there was a St Patrick's Day celebration going on in Trafalgar Square, with thousands of people. There was no way we could film in the Square itself, so we decided to find a less crowded place to film. We filmed some footage outside the Square of Nelsons Column and the statues, and then wandered around the outskirts of Trafalgar Square and filmed at places along the street.
We briefly went to St James Park to film some people and the main character. After that we made our way to a grassy bit next to Big Ben and The Houses of Parliament.
We shot a 13 minutes of footage and we feel that at least half of it is useful, but now it is just a case of finding the best bits of footage to use in our final opening.
