Shoot report

We were filming the rest of our footage today we had from about 2 o'clock and I had to get the gear back to long before 5 at the latest, so we had time. It turned out to be an eventful shoot.

we got into town and ran through what we were going to shoot so everyone in the group knew what was going on.
However as we were about to start shooting we were stopped by Lion Yard security who told we weren't allowed to film their because it was private property. This surprised me as I always thought it was a public space, but apparently it's all owned by Barclay's-you learn something every day.

So despite this seemingly disastrous turn of events, as we had been planning to shoot the entire rest of the sequence in Lion Yard/Grand Arcade, we persevered. We decided that instead of running through the grand arcade the chase would be around the outside of Lion Yard and then into the stairs and lift the back entrance.

At this point I should make the point that it was only Lion Yard people who didn't want us filming there, the Grand Arcade employees were quite happy to let us film near the lifts. So go Grand Arcade!

anyways we managed to shoot pretty much all the shots we needed despite the start of heavy raining. We will see how the footage turned out and whether it can all be used when we come to edit.


Also some pictures of the locations should be up soon
