Day 2 of filming
On day 2 after school I went on my own to south Acton to film Beatruce (an upcoming artist) on her normal routine, to the studio she records her music. I met Beatruce and my cousin there, but unfortunately when I got there it was closed and I got pissed of cause I had to carry the camera and tri-pod on my own on the train. But I wasn’t going to waste the journey and I took location shots of the different estates around the area, to show the gritty areas most the artist’s come from, which will be used for our opening montage shots of different locations.
Day 4 of filming
I again went on my own but dragged my sister along with me to Hounslow were Beatruce lives and filmed her every day routine juggling sixth form, working and studio. We left early morning to get shots of her going to 6th form and coming back, which the group will use when we do clips of every day lives of upcoming artists and show them as normal people, as well as showing their struggles of breaking through in the industry.

Day 3 of filming: Inspirational moment
On our way home from a very long and tiring day of filming, Vipesh started playing music on his phone on the bus. This triggered an idea for the production. We decided to use the song he was playing (The streets) as a piece of non-diegetic sound and play over our montage of different location in the opening shots. We also decided that the order for the montage as a time continuum. As the day goes by, the shot reflect this in a change of lighting started with our bright early morning/ afternoon shots to dark late night shots.

Filming Diary 03 - Location + A Few Shots For Montage
Saturday 26th January 2008
Today Me, Rosanne and Avneet went out on a filming trip, we were supposed to film our first interview with an artist called castro, however he had to cancel, so instead we decided to film some locations that are important for our opening sequence. We visited shot in the following places:
1. Greenford
2. West Ealing
3. Acton
We filmed mostly estate area's and blocks of flats, this is because they connote the rough area that most of the artists grow up in and are trying to get out from, Music is one of the escape routes for most of these underprivileged people. We also managed to shoot one of Rosanne & Avneet's friend as well as Rosanne's two cousins saying who their favourite artists were and why. The filming of the block of flats were filmed with a panning technique, this is important as it gets an all round view of the whole location/area, this is a crucial technique. We also shot locations whilst on the E9 bus, it allowed us to get more of an overview of most places, it also will be very nice to look at for the audience once we have edited it. we also shot some walls that contained graffiti on it, this once again is crucial as it connotes the struggle and the rough areas that most artists go through as they develop their way through their struggle to become a mainstream musician.
While we were on set shooting some bits for our documentary we had some inspirational ideas, for example, whilst we were shooting a block of flats in the Greenford, rectory area, me and Rosanne had a great idea for an extra in our production, whilst we are shooting different things we could also do a "making the documentary to 'Sound Of The Underdogs'", we also had an inspirational moment whilst we were on the E9 bus, I was playing the song 'breakaway' by Tinchy Stryder and Rosanne said that this would be an excellent soundtrack for the locations part in our documentary, and it is another connotation of the struggle that certain people have to deal with in order to escape certain rundown area's, if you listen to the lady singing you will hear the words 'I want you to leave leave, I want you to go go, but you keep telling me the streets are all you know'. One of the other inspirations that Rosanne had on the E9 bus was that our shots of the locations are excellent, as they go in order of light, as we shot it from light to dark, so we wouldn't have to edit it really, as they are already in order.
Here are some Photographs of Avneet & Rosanne filming:
