On day two we stuck to our original plan of splitting up
into two groups. Early this morning I recevived a text of the people who knew
Tomo who told us to go to a place called Dunnet Street where Tomo has done a
lot of work, we felt that this would have been a nice contrast when editing as
we could cut away to the work of Tomo.
On route to Dunnet Street we walked through the docks we had
a decent amount of footage. However we where soon stopped by security as you
had to get permission to film certain parts of the docks so that footage was
useless although we did managed to get a couple of really nice shots that we
where allowed to use. What we didn’t
realise about Dunnet street was that it was over a two hour walk. When we got
they I think we where both expecting the holy grail of graffiti, wall after
wall covered in graffiti. However when we got there we found only two-pieces of
street art. At this point I was little annoyed as we had wasted half the day
walking with all the equipment to find two average bits of graffiti. However we
made the best of a bad situation, we set up the tracks and got some very nice
footage, on the way back we spotted little bits of graffiti which we decided to
film.
Despite not wanting to do a six man interview we decided to
stick together for the Tristan and Tomo interview, to help set up efficiently
and to help carry all the equipment.
Tristan interview went really well, he was very confident
and what he where saying was great, at this point I started get a rough idea of
how I wanted the sound-to-sound like well the opening minute or so, where I
wanted to use part of the interviews to help set up the narrative while
overlaid over a sound track which I would create. Tristan said a lot of useful stuff about
street art talking about the future and the difficulties they had faced.
After Tristan interview we where all quite unsure if the
Tomo interview was going to happen as we hadn’t heard anything off him or his
friends over the course of the day. How after telling Tristan about Tomo we
where surprised to find out that they knew each other and started telling us
about the close community hey have in the street art world. We soon got a text saying that he was up for
an interview but nothing more.
Once we got to Tomo interview he was still doing work and
told us that we weren’t allowed to film. I felt a little uncomfortable at first,
as he was such a guarded character. After a while we finally got an interview out
of him. He’s friend told us about how privilege we where to get an interview
out of him ashe wants as little media attention as possible.
The day had been very long an tiring. Once again me and Alex
listened to the sound and started to get a feel of how I wanted the music to
sound.
