Major Changes to the Opening Scene

When we were brainstorming we had the initial idea that a lot of the production relied on too many factors, for example we put too much trust into the weather. We very much wanted it to snow around the area. Unfortunately we could not be able to film with the correct features we wanted, Also one of the locations we wanted to film was closed stopping potential production.

One key change we made was the entire opening scene itself, all previous locations that were mentioned and were photographed was not used during production. On our original production schedule we marked filming to be the 30th and 31st of December. However it did not snow on any of these days (and if your reading this you probably noticed it did not snow through the winter of 2015-2016). We fell back to our backup filming days and that was the 3rd and 4th of January, The main reason for this was because I spent time with my friends and family down in London.

We now changed our location of filming top three locations (Pictures and reason why for these locations will be put on a future post). The First location we are now filming is the school, For some of our scenes we are filming in the shape and form of a political meeting and the school can easily provide us with a setting of this sort. The second place we are now filming is Timperley Brook, This location provided us of a great place to film where we could create some action, we used the environment to our advantage including the swamps that were created due to the heavy rain and flooding. Secondly we had the abandon railway tracks to use for our filming which will be discussed later in a future blog post. The last place we filmed was underneath a bridge along the canal, this provided us with a suitable location for a key scene which again will be discussed later in a future blog post.
