Filming In Bristol:
Today we headed into Bristol to film the romantic scene between our two characters. Unfortunately the weather was bleak, pretty dull and rainy. This had a few consequences which I will explain later.
Locations:
Firstly we started off by filming in Cabot Circus. Our aim was to get shots of shopping, light hearted fun and some scenic shots. However, within minutes we had to stop filming and leave the premises. This was because the shopping centre has to be careful and be suspicious of photographers as there is belief that anyone could be assessing the shopping centre, picking out weaknesses and planning to attack. The security explained the whole situation and it was completely understandable and perfectly reasonable since we didn't make them aware of our presence beforehand. They checked my camera and assessed the footage just to make sure I wasn't trying to exploit weaknesses in the infrastructure. Luckily they continued to let us film - just as long as it was out of the borders of the shopping centre.
Around Bristol:
We went to a few places in Bristol - The bridge over the river, the water fountains near @Bristol, and a few of the streets in the area. The weather was awful and this effected both the lighting of the shots, and the moral of the actors + Emma and I. By the end of the day we were desperate to get back home - this caused us to rush filming (as well as having a time limit to get our actor home in time for work) so the footage is not as good as I would have liked.
