On our first recce, we travelled to the agreed-upon location of Canary Wharf DLR station in order to do some preliminary filming on the DLR. However, as we stepped onto the train and began to unpack our tripod and camera, a TFL official stopped us and informed us that, without a permit, we were not allowed to do any filming. We switched train and stayed on a little while longer going for an empty carriage in which to get some filming done but it just got busier and busier, despite being in the afternoon of a Sunday.
Back in the classroom, we decided we would go out again the next week, and recce the still urban but hopefully more deserted route of London Bridge to Lewisham. However, this turned out to be as busy as the DLR, so we decided we had to change location completely. We decided that we would film somewhere in the city but not on public transport. After much deliberation we decided upon London Bridge and did a recce there which was fairly successful and seemed to be a good location which we could transfer our script to. Here is a video of the recce we took, showing how we transposed some of the shots from the train to fit the now street-based location. We have done a voiceover over the top, noting what we need to improve when we film it:
