Research Update 3#

Here is my research result for types transportation in London in the time period, and the look of the city during the time.

These images have given me a great deal to think about when deciding which type of transportation to use in the animation, both the bus and train have their points, its difficult to decide between. The train would be a better choice as the addition of the steam and tracks would add to the foley used in the city, and strengthen the point you have been transported to a very busy London during the great war. But using a train would mean setting it in a train station. Although I could just have the train passing through on its way out of the city. It is not imperative I make a choice on this now so I shall wait, and just pick one to put in the pitch storyboard for now, then come back to it at a later stage of pre-production.

Here is the research result I've collected about the look of London during the time:

These have given me a much better idea of how I will show a busy london street in my animation. One important thing to remember is not to draw building over 5 storeys in height, as they were very uncommon in London at the time, and sure to stand out as odd to anyone with knowledge on the subject.
