Shooting

Day #1: Cuckoo's Hollow/ Gunthorpe Garages

During the half-term holidays, my group and I came together to begin filming our project. We decided that it would be best if we used actors for the film and the three of us focused entirely on filming.


The main locations we used were Cuckoo's Hollow in Werrington and a set of garages in Gunthorpe, which we chose to use instead of a set at Walton as originally planned. The reason for this change is that the Gunthorpe garages looked less decayed, and based on the idea that our film is a comedy, we thought it would be funnier if the story was set in a very leafy, green Suburbia kind of setting.


These are our actors: Anthony Race, Sophie Wardell and Joe Stimson. We dressed them all in the similar costumes of jeans and jackets to make them look both similar and entirely plain- we didn't want them to look sexualised in any way.

This is an image of our characters after they have been drinking in a humourous scene. We took some better quality photographs on the camera and are considering using this as our promotional image on both the poster and the webpage because it sums up the 'misfit' social position of the characters.
