Same post on Hamish's blog:
ReplyDeleteExcellent ideas; another thought to chew on. The actions of the business man could be juxtaposed with similar shots of the homeless man.
You could also shoot some British institutions, i.e. banks that caused the crisis and County Hall so that your camera focuses on the institutions that are responsible for the austerity cuts i.e. The Coalition and local government. Though Norwich City is Labour the county is conservative thus County Hall would make an interesting backdrop.
I've Googled the conservative club in Norwich but nothing comes up!!!! The Royal Bank of Scotland is at 5 Queen Street - this bank had to be bailed out!!!!! So if you could shoot some footage in that location, or take shots of this location you could use dissolve transitions so that the bank acts as background to other action - as a kind of leitmotif.
Try to upload some of your raw footage - this from you and Hamish would be interesting and add further energy to your blog.
