After a few set backs and delays with the starting of filming I've finally been able to go out and capture some film for the project.
The camera I was planning on borrowing ended up breaking a day before I was going to use it so I ended up borrowing one from the shop.
The video is being recorded into avid at the moment and should hopefully be ready to start editing from tonight. Some re-recording of sound may need to be done.

The area that I've chosen to explore for the second project of 211 is located down Lambton Quay in Wellington. I have chosen to explore the areas in and around tunnels in the city and look into things like sound, light, movement, shadow and maybe the path that people take. I hope to use either at least three tunnels or just one tunnel but explore it at three different times. It could be a combination of both though.
Then by editing them together, make it look like one tunnel that ends in all different areas. I hope to do this by following behind people through the tunnel, then looking down and then up into another area with the same person in front of me. This will enable me to keep a constant focus in the video and make it seem like the same place, only different, almost like a never-ending tunnel.
One of the main things that I want to focus on in the project is the light and shadow, maybe at different times of the day and I was thinking of artificially creating some of each to create a different mood during the video than you would normally see just by walking down the tunnel.
I want to do some exploration of sound as well because the effects tunnels can have on sound are always interesting, like echoes, the sounds coming into the tunnel while you are inside them and some aspects of it like that.
