Super 8 City - Progress and planning 

Myself and jay got together, looking back on the footage that I had shot in the previous week, we started to write down a shot list for the production, we discussed about the middle content for our Super 8 film and how the angles and parts of the building could link on to each other, possible transitions, effects for post production or just manually using the film camera to achieve creativity. 

Panning shot from the water to the top of the building, parallel lines and a line of symmetry down the middle of the building. Using the water puddles to capture reflections and the remains of architecture on the outside of the Civic Centre. Looking at the different patterns and surroundings that we could film and use to create a narrative for our super 8 film, here are a few ideas that I came up with;

Wide angle of the Civic Centre

Reflections in the water

Zoom shot - Portraying the clouds in the windows of the Money Centre 

Experimenting with lights and shadows around the buildings, taking into consideration about the angles we could film to show the decrepit state of buildings. 

Possible Voice Over that we thought could be used to add a narrative to our Super 8 Film, would link the footage of buildings to the words i.e. the concrete struts around the Civic Centre and underneath the Money Centre. 

Here is the VO lines that we came up with;

Pebble dash is the new black
Concrete struts, the new white
Fragile glass towers
Monuments to man's bloated ego
Their original intent forgotten
