For the first day of filming we decided to film the opening sequence in Finsbury park. This is because our main location was in morden and it was too far to travel and film within 1hr and 45mins. We decided to film outside Muhammeds house as we knew that there was a path up to his house. After a few hours of filming we managed to film the whole outside sequence however when we had the chance to edit it together we found many problems. The main issue was continuity, the different shots of him on the phone were either too close and to far from the actor so when we merged them together it became too confusing. The clip above is of one of our outakes. Due to not re watching our footage before leaving , we didn't realise that Muhammed was in the background and because we cant crop him out, the clip is couldnt be used. That was one of the vital clips of the opening scene and so we decided to re film the whole sequence again at the real location. The reason that we chose not to film that particular scene again is because of the change of weather.
However, we did think there were some good shots and ideas with these clips. For example by filming in this particular location we got a clip of tracking along a brick wall (shown in the video above) We thought this was effective as we thought that we could add the title sequence onto it.
