Bristol Filming

On Saturday, I filmed the shots of the prostitute and the middle aged woman doing graffiti on a wall. I managed to get a good range of shots, which I can work with, despite the unpredictable weather. Although, it started out quite sunny, halfway through filing it started to pour with rain. Therefore, I will have to carefully edit the shots to get rid of any continuity. Originally I was unsure of the location for filming the prostitute. However, after driving around Bristol for a bit, we found a really interesting and dirty looking warehouse, in which I filmed against. A couple of streets down, we found a huge wall with graffiti all over it, in which I again filmed against, as my location for my middle aged woman doing graffiti on a wall. Overall, I got a better range of shots than I specified in my storyboard, which I will now edit together, to produce flowing and appealing shots.

Bristol Docks Filming

On Saturday, I filmed the shots of the old couple having tea on the train tracks. I managed to acquire a range of interesting shots, which portray the strange and destroyed society, which I am trying to portray. However, we came across some difficulties three quarters of the way through filming as a train came along. Although the train track that we used to film had not been in use for a long time, unfortunately there was party on one of the trains which was running on the tracks around Bristol. We were told to vacate the tracks as we did not have permission to film on them. Despite the fact that we were at the end of the tracks, which had been boarded up and where the train did not come up to, we still had to get off the tracks. This resulted in us not being able to shoot all of the required shots. Therefore, I am having to slightly adapt my story board, to fit in with the shots that I did manage to get.
