This week has been mental as weeks go. I have so much other work to do from other modules as well as all the troubles that have faced us about our film.
Abi did not have much luck with any shoe shops as they all said that they were unable to allow filming to take place. Luckily I had spoken to one of my friends Elspeth who had managed to organise a filming slot with the newly opened Treds in Southgate. I decided to go into the shop in person and managed to talk with the area manager who said he was happy for us to film their, permitting we did not take up much room, were organised and did not disrupt his trade as it was going to be a busy weekend. He also wanted us to show the brand name in our film (i.e. the brand on the bag). This was such a result, especially considering that is was our last possible option of finding an actual shoe shop to film in.
Another location that has caused us a headache is the Job centre. I have been trying to organise a meeting with certain members for weeks now, but they don't ever seem to be around. I had eventually give up and passed the number onto Abi. She had more luck as they said it would be fine for us to film, although they would not be open any time over the weekend of our film. They did give us permission to film outside though.
In terms of Post office, Yaz managed to sort this out weeks ago. We had also arranged to use Yaz's garden for another scene. Abi has also arranged some actors from the drama department to come down and take part in our film which is great.
One aspect that really annoyed Abi and myself was the fact that Chris had not taken on any responsibility outside of the classroom, but had also failed to show up to the Camera demo, which was his only commitment to the project.
Luckily, Mike had arranged a practical workshop earlier this week which really helped put everything into perspective, and also allowed us a chance of a mock run through. It also provided Chris a chance to practice and pick up some key points in using the Z1.
