Location planning
As most of the places I want to visit are in the city centre, The time plan can be a little bit more flexible as most things are around 3-4mins away from each other. So Instead of having groups of areas to shoot, I will use this as more of a checklist of the places I would like to go.
Leeds Day Plan
Temperature: 8'C - 17'C
Weather: cloudy & sunny
Arrival
[7:26 - 8:52]
This time has already been decided when we bought the tickets and it's strictly because of trying to get the best pricing at the earliest time we could get there.
Coming out of the train station, heading left and following the road upwards, you will encounter the City square. A building sporting a clock tower and café with outdoor seating.
Heading further west will get you to a rectangular park surrounded by houses park square.
Because I will hopefully be attending Leeds Beckett as my university later this year, and evaluating the amount of time I had left with the Nottingham trip I thought it would be fine to use this day to also view my accommodation since I am here. This saves me from purchasing an extra ticket and hits 2 birds with one stone
Regardless I feel that the exterior of Marsden house seems pretty unique as an accommodation so I would like to film this as well if possible.
With its old architecture and open fields, the Headingley campus is the sports centre for Leeds Beckett and is the original epicentre of the Uni. I thought to fim there to show some of the history of Leeds are the location looks nice anyways.
With its location in the centre of Leeds. The building is its new addition to the Uni and sports its creative, Law and business subjects. Personally, I really like the architecture of this building be it a little bit biased since it's my uni of choice. Regardless it sits at a location next to the Leeds City Council building which I feel did impact the design as the Rose Bowl (also part of the uni) sits directly behind it mimicking its curves.
The Leeds corn exchange is a domed-shaped building with multiple small shops and a stage in the centre for performances. I would like to capture this area because when the first time I've been here I really liked its layout and how unique it looks.
With its clock tower and old architecture standing in the centre of Leeds, The Leeds town hall is one of the statement pieces of Leeds. I want to film this location as it really gives a sense of history with Leeds with the contrast between its different buildings and although contrasting still feels coherent throughout the city of Leeds.
Departure
Because we have booked Open-return tickets, We have some flexibility in overrunning in case we spend too long filming in a location or trying to figure out a problem along the way. But even though this is the case we aim to shoot all the scenery shots during daylight
Equipment prep Video
To summarise:
Included: none
​
Excluded: Portable recorder
-
It was unfortunate that I was not able to use the portable recorder for this shoot but because another classmate was in possession of the equipment I was not able to access this though I feel that I have recorded enough foley during the other shoots to use if I see fit
