More Filming

Finally after so many problems of finding a suitable day and location etc, we got a chance to book a camera for today. We ended up filming as Joe's house which was our original choice.

We also had a problem that we could not use Fraser's girlfriend to act as she was unavailable. We had 3 backups, 2 of which could not make it so we used Hannah. she fits the part very well as she has mousy brown hair and a simple look. She also studies performing arts which meant she was very good at acting and was confident to do everything we asked.

However we did have a few other problems as we only had a few hours to film. We did deal with this very well as we worked really fast and got all the scenes done that we needed to. We only have one scene left which we can film next week before the deadline.

Filming - Day 1

We had some problems with the tape as Joe had the wrong one so we were delayed at the start as we had to go Curry's/PC World to go buy tapes. There were 3 tapes each with 60 mins each which we all chipped in for. We then went to our first location 'The Albert' which is a small pub near Richmond Park.

Here we filmed for the lines 'I'm going from bar to bar'. This pub was chosen as it was close to one of our other locations and it had a classic homely pub feel to it which is something we were looking for. We then went to our second location which was Richmond Park - Kingston Gate.

We filmed in several places in the grounds, some of the actor in the narrative and some of the performance section of the song where he sings. I think we had a very productive day, the weather was gloomy which gave a depressing effect which is what we needed and there was enough natural light to film with. We will be filming again next week Tuesday with the male and female actor too.
