Filming

Tomorrow will be our second and most important day of filming - we will be filming the scenes in Spring Park and Bethlem Psychiatric Hospital.

The plan so far is to meet at 12pm at the entrance to Spring Park to do the beginning of our filming, we will then move onto Bethlem once we are satisfied with the filming in Spring Park. We have informed all of our actors of this and unfortunately some of them could not attend this session due to work and family reasons. However we have done our best to replace these actors with people who will feel will have an equalling amount of experience and proffesionality. We are lucky with this as we have left it quite late to film, due to problems with our orginal filming date, and are making use of our friends and family who are willing to cooperate. We will record these changes at an appropriate time after we have done our filming.

We have had our props and costumes prepared for a couple of weeks now as we had them ready for our orginal filming date during half term. As my Dad has his own construction and engineering company, we were quite lucky in the fact that he was able to provide several of the props we will be using. These include the rope that our victim will be hanging from, the sheets to cover the body with, the clipboard for the forensic to read the victims details from and the 'stretcher' that the body will be carried off on. I also took the liberty to loan several bibles from the school library today so we will have the option of using each one in the shots to see which looks most effective.

We have asked for each of the actors to provide their own costumes as there is nothing too specific apart from smart clothes - the boys will probably be wearing suits or dark clothing and the girls just dark clothing. The only thing we will be providing is a lab coat for the forensic to wear as Florence has her own for biology.

Hopefully everything will go to plan and the weather will be suiting to our criteria. However, as this is our last chance to finish our filming as the deadline is next Friday, we will have to do our best filming in whatever conditions. I don't think anyone is too worried about filming, we just need to make sure we produce work that we feel is most effective and that is the best of our ability!

We will let you know how filming goes and any changes or updates will be recorded here after filming.
