Filming Day 1 - Moreton (1970s)

We arrived in Moreton at 8:15 am on 10th December to begin the first day of filming. We walked to the first filming location - Sedgefield Road - to start filming the 1970s section of the video.






We encountered a few issues while filming. Firstly, the amount of people who came out to see what we were doing. A few people asked if we were making a YouTube video, and one man asked if we were filming ourselves "jumping off the walls".


Another major issue that set us back was one of continuity. While discussing shot types, Ryan zipped up the jacket, which is unzipped in previous shots. We didn't not notice this for about an hour, meaning we had to back-track and re-film a number of shots.


When we completed the '70s section, after about 3 hours of filming, we got the train to Oliver's house to film the 1930's section.





While Ryan was styling his hair to suit the 1930s Mob Boss character, the rest of us set up the camera on top of the tripod and dolly.

We had some lighting issues,  Ryan was red on the camera and we realised this was due to the red wallpaper in the room we were filming in. We fixed this issue by closing the curtains to block out the sunlight, and pointing a lamp with a white light at Ryan.
