Exploring & documenting my site

My site: Victoria embankment gardens

I went to the site, taking photographs, video and audio recording and also did a few very quick sketches. I want to use this content to help shape the visual part of the outcome: to work out what i'm seeing and how i want to portray this visually.

Documentation of the of the journey:

1. Coming out of the train station

This clip is from the train on the way. It was going past mansion house.

Listen!


2. Charing Cross Trafalgar Square Exit


3. Crossing the road toward the Charing Cross main exit


This video (below) was taken from the walk between the trafalgar square exit of Charing Cross Tube Station & Charing Cross. I shot it at a crossing and the sound from the road is very prominent with the noise of buses and cars.




this is a pure audio clip taken from the same place.

Listen!

This is a video clip taken across the front of Charing Cross station.



4. Side road connection Charing cross to Embankment station

5. Halfway down the side road. Huge amount of shops, and a view of the London Eye


6. Embankment station: there is an alleyway that you have to walk through to get to the park with shops such as an upmarket underwater sports supply store, and a few food shops. There is actually also a park on the left.

7. The alleyway


8. Embankment station: walking to the crossing.

This video (below) was taken between steps 7&8.



9. entrance to the gardens/


10. inside the gardens. beautiful luxury building overlooking it.


I took a very long audio clip that contained the entire walk in one long shot. Unfortunately audioboo has cut off the end of it, but at the end i just stood in one static place. I was planning to cut short sound clips.

Listen!

This is a shot from my sketchbook with a storyboard. I did a quick storyboard, and the page sums up the four main places along my walk and what i learnt: the timings, took note of significant places of interest, got the sound clips i needed and took some useful video recording and some useful photographs.
