I followed my
plan, went quickly around the zoo until I found a good viewpoint, which I found
within 20 minuets at the lion enclosure. Due to the rain the lions had moved to
the sheltered side of the cage and presses themselves against the glass. There
were two large females and two female cubs, not yet reached adulthood. I could
see every hair on their backs, the hard texture of their dark paws and their
soft black noses. I stayed at lion exhibit for over two hours, observing them,
photographing and filming.
It was
unbelievable how similar the lions were to domestic cats. This is shown through
my video. I wanted to focus on their traits and movements, which was hard as
they spent most of the day sleeping! I used an upbeat track to create a fast
cutting pace and tried to show different angles and shots to match the beat of
the music.
