In the early morning I went to Southbank Skatepark – it was very deserted and allowed for me to go around and take shots highlighting the graffiti art and the structure of the place.

- The shot is very dark, added gain would be better.
VIDEO 2 – https://mediacentral.ucl.ac.uk/Play/115319
- Showcases the texture of the walls and colour.
- possibly could of had a wider shot.
- could be nice to have a subject positioned on the other wall towards the left.

- Wide shot of the park – feels graining so more lighting may possibly make it clearer.
VIDEO 4 – https://mediacentral.ucl.ac.uk/Play/115321
- I like the movement of the shot and general focus on the skateboard rather than the guy.
- lighting feels very cool.
- would prefer and “on level” shot with the skateboard and have it roll into view.

- lighting of the shot feels ominous
- I like the mix of colour and darkness
VIDEO 6 –https://mediacentral.ucl.ac.uk/Play/115323
- between a wooden ramp and captures a limited view.
- focus is set on the wood so may be nice next time to have the view on the background.

- Needs to be shot with a tripod or on a box to be more stable.
VIDEO 8 – https://mediacentral.ucl.ac.uk/Play/115325
- Decrease on gain to capture the writing on the light but limited the background.
- possibly increase the shutter speed rather than decreasing the gain.
VIDEO 9 – https://mediacentral.ucl.ac.uk/Play/115326
- needs to be more steady.
- should have the selection mirror the wall.
VIDEO 10 – https://mediacentral.ucl.ac.uk/Play/115327
- gives the feel of the space – should have recorded more individual quotes on the walls.
VIDEO 11 – https://mediacentral.ucl.ac.uk/Play/115328
- like the use of movement and lighting.
Overall some of the shots feel too dark, but the overall mood feels dark. It feels cold due to it being between the hours of 7-9am.
