This weekend I will be scouting for locations in East London, around Canary Wharf, East India Station, The Dome, Woolwich Road, the Tidal Barrier (of course), and up to Thamesmead. I will do stills and some video. I will uploads the stills, if they are any good.
Apart from the locations described in the treament, I am looking for images that may help me to develop the theme of the story. Flow. Time. Chance.
I will also try to capture a part of London that is all too must a part of the city: parts of the city that lack identity, no there there, as Jane Jacobs would say. They are places where people come and go, without being able or without wanting to take part in the time of the city. Their passing will go unnoticed.
These areas contrast with parts of London where the past seems to have been pressed right into the bricks.
These areas have always existed, but what is fascinating about Canary Wharf is that they are constructing this phenomenon in shiny glass and steel.
