I have continued researching videos that contains graffiti and skating in. First video I've looked at is DC Shoes 'Pro tour Vegas: skate highlights'. What I like about the video, was the use of Black and White in video gives it different edge to the other what I've seen, may use in my video. Also, I liked the use of the camera angles, they were quite basic to do, quite cleaver to use in my film.
Next Video is called 'Max Miller: Skateboarding is forever' another DC shoes video. What I couldn't work for my video in this video would be tracking. However, what I did like is the camera shots were great but simple to create, which includes a fish eye lens, which work well in the video.
'New York graffiti' I didn't like the video overall. Such as the usage of tag graffiti, which make it tacky and terrible overall what ruined this video. But, what I did like in this video is the use of the audio and connects well with the fast paste of the video, which I did like in this video.
With the 'Airbrushed graffiti name', what I liked in this video was quite different than watching the previous video I looked at. It was very basic to film, just filming the canvas this worked well overall.
'Adidas Originals - meet la graffiti legend Slick' who's an American who gone to East London and graffiti. This video was the most realistic idea what I would like to go into my Final Major Project Film, I would like to do this similar techniques at the South Bank if possible.

Had a Mid-Term review with my tutor today, discussed what I need to do in this project next week such as production schedule and completing Storyboards for the 9th February. Also said there is a few new cameras they bought called: Sony nex-vg10, which is more compact than the Sony PD170, it uses a SD card rather than a MiniDV tape.

Went up to South Bank to do some Recce work such as lighting, camera angles and where to place interviews such as there is a bench up stairs to do some interviews, were the noise is less noisy than down stairs were they skate and graffiti. Also asking skaters and gratifiers who long does a giant piece of graffiti takes, they say possibly over one and half hours to do a bigger piece, while a medium size piece possibly 45 minutes (asking on takes and batteries for the camera).
An idea for a camera shot. 
Another idea for a camera shot with the London Eye in the background.
This is a possibility were I can do the interviews with Hungerford bridge and MI6 building in the background.End of blog for now, next blog soon, bye.
