Right sorry about the delay but...Hello, First blog of 2011. Start of my Final Major Project Moving images blog. This blog represents my actions for the pre-production and is backed up by the reasons I have used and the evidence present in my portfolio. It shows how I got to the stage of production.

Started writing down my ideas (by the way, all of my ideas are mainly Documentaries Ideas), first idea is about the Olympic Stadium, I thought of this idea when walking pass West Ham United's ground called the Boleyn Ground (Upton Park) when I was going to film another project a month back on a League Cup night, were all the stools are about to being open at around 3 o'clock.

The idea is based after the 2012 Olympics games when the stadium is available. The two clubs who are intention to use the stadium, are West Ham United & Newham Council against Tottenham Hotspurs and AEG (who own the O2 Dome) However Spurs are also looking to rebuild their own ground.
What I will like to do for this idea, is to ask West Ham and Tottenham Fans, also shops owners around each ground about the purpose new stadium, what would effect if they move stadium/or even rebuilding the stadium/or the thought of expanding the stadium.

My Second idea is about the South bank, were they Graffiting , BMXing and Skateboarding under the South bank.




What I like to do for this idea, to film at the South Bank and ask the people who graffiti, skate for bike, ask them creative questions, also I want this to be fly on the wall, try to be experiment with camera angles, when skaters and bikers are doing their tricks.

Third idea is were I live, there is possibility that they are going to build a prison near were I live, which is on the site of the old Runwell hospital (with these two links would help what I am explaining: from bbc, from echo). But lately they have put this idea on ice, due to economic reasons.



My idea is to film were the old Runwell hospital is, at this moment of time is like a ghost town, also I want to film in Wickford, asking the locals would they want this Prison here? While the Prison is on ice at the moment, would they like to have houses build instead on the prison?

Saw my Tutor today, to discussed my final major project for Moving images. Tutor felt the prison idea wouldn't be a good idea, felt it probably won't be built, want I discussing about it .

However with the other two ideas, he felt they will be achievable. Because I'm in the developing the idea stage. He said to me with the Stadium idea:

'Establish location shots, storyboard facts of the documentary. Photographs and drawings. Show next week.'

Meanwhile for the South Bank idea:

Get a camera and mic down to the site, start experimenting with different filming angles and taking interviews. Show in two weeks time.

And I've booked a camera next week to go up the South Bank, meanwhile with the stadium idea I'm going up to White Hart Lane (Tottenham Hotspurs ground) tomorrow to do a recce.

End of the blog for now. Next blog soon. Bye.
