A small Hiccup

Well, The weather is absoloutley fowl at the moment and we are supposed to be shooting outdoors tomorrow. However we have come up with a backup plan. There were seveal options. The favourite was to shoot in the Graves Gallery. Ben had previously got permission to film there so I thought I would try. After a few phonecalls, I managed to get permisssion and they seemed quite happy to help us. So if we needed to use them I could contact Chris to let him know we'd be there and he's sort us out a place to shoot and makesure that all the staff were aware of the situation. Because of the weather I have had to follow up on this plan so I have phoned Chris who has said that it is fine for us to shoot there. We will be shooting in Gallery 6, 'the blue gallery. My only quarm with this location is the acoustics, the sound in Gallery's tends to not be brilliant, however I'm confident that this nis an issue we can overcome.
Another option we had was to shoot it in Mike's bedroom, this would not have been ideal as it could have made the film seem a bit on the dull side location wise. I think with the Gallery, it is an interesting location. I know the group had their hearts set on the park as it is a spectacular locations but sometimes you have to allow for constraints that are out side your control. I believe beaing able to deal with these situations is part of being a producer and I try to take any bumps in the road in my stride and overcome them while still aiming to create the best film possible. I think that the Graves gallery will be an appropriate indoor substitute for the park. After all we can't play god, we just have to make do and mend sometimes.

Location Scout Weston Park

location scout.
We decided that we wanted to the scenes between George and Jack in Weston Park as we knew how pretty it is. We then went on a location scout to find places that we want to use for the film.

 Cherry Blossom tree under which Jack and Geoge will lie while having a conversation.

Bench where George could be sat when Jack is pacing. Alternatevley where George is reassuring Jack.

Could shoot under here if the weather turns bad.

Pond, which can be shot from multiple points. Will give a great variety of points of view as they can move around the pond and we can also have them feeding the ducks, which will look loveley. Also they can have them walking over the bridge which we have experimented with blocking for.
