Location: Camden Town

Ellen, Claudie and I decided that Camden Town would be the most appropriate location to explore for our project, as there are multiple tattoo parlours down the high street and the general atmosphere is perfect. We not only gained a lot of knowledge about people's reasons for getting tattoos, but also a large amount of initial footage and location images.

We interviewed a promoter for a tattoo parlour, who allowed us to film him and ask him questions about his tattoos (which he showed to us whilst we filmed him). We also got a lot of footage of Camden Town itself for our final documentary, as well as many still shots of the surrounding area.
We left the camera running as we walked through the market and out the other side, as we thought the idea of over-saturating and contrasting the footage as well as speeding up the clip and putting fast paced music over the top would be a very interesting opening to our documentary. This will really express how vivid and exciting Camden is as a place, and reflect the individuality of the people living there, as well as being an engaging opening for the audience.
