Liverpool Day 2

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.
