Filming: DAY TWO

Filming started on: 6th February 2010
Location: Weston-super-mare
Scene: 4 - 9

Day two of filming commenced on the 6th February 2010. Crew and cast that attended this event were Matt Hosgood, Livvie Salvage and Me (Paige Hiley). Livvie Salvage played the part of Laura in the scene nine. Matt Hosgood carried on playing the part of Charlie and I filmed the scenes with Matt's camera. The time was 4 0'clock when we met outisde weston Odeon to begin our shooting. We commenced by filming the establishing shot for the opening scene that was set in weston. We compared two car park top floors to see which had the best view of weston. Out of two choices, the NCP and Sovereign centre we chose to use the NCP car park roof because it had a better view of weston as it showed the centre of weston. The soveriegn centre carpark didn't have the city centre surroundings we were looking for, we could only capture houses and tops of buildings when we wanted to also show evidence of a busy area by looking downwards.
Considering it was a saturday we knew that the area would be packed with people, which is what we wanted to display in these scenes. We did have an issue with the people that were walking around, which was that at some points that got in the way of shots, it was also hard to run in between them when filming the tracking shots. In the end this worked out alright as it made the shot more interesting that just running in a straight line. We then found a recycle bin with bags of rubbish in it and by it, this was a great landscape for our scene where matt chucks his jacket away, and picks up a dustbin bag full of clothes. This ment that we could blend the bags in with the other bags with out it looking too placed. This was a success.
After filming the establishing shots and tracking shots we moved on to filming the speech scenes. We had to locate a subtable location for this scene as most of the toilets that were in weston, were used regularly. Matt suggested going to the winter gardens ones as they were not used as regularly, this worked well as we were only disrupted twice. Overall the session was a success, with hardly any problems.
