It was a difficult task because making sure we find appropriate mostly local locations is key as it makes it easier for the whole team to get to where they need to be.
We rang up a restaurant named 'Frankie & Bennies' to see if we can film in there, but as they have said to us they need to ring their 'head office' for permission as they are a franchise, we have got a back up restaurant just in case, which is a pub in our hometown called George the 4th. Both are really dark and old fashioned restaurants and suit what we need a lot more than any other restaurants around. I hope that it is possible to film in our first choice. Venetian blinds are present in both for example, so they do fit the criteria already for 'Film Noir'!
We have worked out for each of our scenes where we shall film them and also worked out a filming schedule. After we know about the restaurant we can be sure of a timetable.
On Thursday the 1st of February we are going to a village road to film the changeover Bonnie does which is narrated by Bobby when he tells the story of what she is doing to detective Carter.
We will have two suitcases for props to make sure the point of the flashback story is clear. This will not take us a great deal of time to film, but we must make sure we stick to time limits so editing can be done efficiently.
Making sure that all of our cast can make these various occasions is really important. All 3 of our team must be there, but also because then we can all contribute to making sure the filming goes to plan.
We phoned the restaurant F&B's a final time and found that we could not film in our first choice of location. We have decided to film at George the 4th instead.
Our Schedule:
Scene 1 & 2: Tuesday 6th March, 11.20-1.20pm, In a school office
Scene 3 & 4: Monday 5th March, 5.30-7pm, George the 4th Pub in Baldock
Scene 5: Wednesday 29th February, 7-8.30, at a house of our own
Scene 6: Thursday 8th March, 9.30-11.15am, at a relative's office
I'm looking forward to starting to film!
