It's Liverpool- Filming

Our next filming task is called It's Liverpool. It is more of a shorter film making task than the People On the Move but this didn't make things any easier. The brief included filming a short (90second aprox) film showing Liverpool. We came across many difficulties throughout this project.

We decided we wanted to do more of a tour of Liverpool, so we looked at touring methods which we could use to help us film. We contacted the Liverpool City Tour Bus to see whether we could get permission to film on their bus which would then allow us to view all the important and most recognisable sites in Liverpool. Permission was given which was a relief and we got free access to the bus. However, living in England, weather is never reliable! Just our luck, the day we planned to film the heavens were open and we had rain. Not a good a idea to film on an open bus with camera equipment so we had to re-schedule.

Once the weather was more reliable and dry we began to film. Filming went well and we got numerous shots, plenty more than we needed which is always a good thing. We filmed the bus and its journey showing all the significant tourist sites in Liverpool.
