Filming Day One.

Friday 21^st October was our first day of filming.

We went to Volcrepe Warehouse in Glossop, Derbyshire. Here, we got lots of the shots of the lunatic and the person whose head she is in, and had a successful day.

The warehouse was abandoned and seemed old, fragile and quite dangerous, but it was not cordoned off and there were no signs that said no entry.

We managed to get shots on all four floors of the warehouse and used several areas of it to our advantage. There was an old toilet room suggesting it was used as a mill or factory when it was open. The wear and tear of the building added to our location targets, as there were holes in the floor and collapsed walls, which we loved.

We needed a place that would give the impression that the lunatic was deserted, isolated, and this factory definitely succeeded in this.

We managed to get shots of the lunatic sat in the window frame looking out on the Derbyshire hills which was effective in showing how lost and wandered her mind really was. Another effective shot we liked were the ones on the stairs as we had the lunatic, hanging her head, and looking depleted, alone and desperate.

We arrived at the location at about 9.30am, and spent the morning filming, we then went into Glossop for dinner and proceeded to film up to around 4.00pm, it was a fulfilling and successful full day of filming.

A few days later we got the shots onto he computer and noticed 2 faulty shots of our 51 that we collected in total. Unfortunately, these shots were vital, meaning we had to go back to Volcrepe the week a few to re shoot just a few scenes. One shot had to camera stand in the background, a basic error which needed amending. The other shot had a person in the background, who was not meant to be in the shot, again a basic and frustrating error, which has now been amended.
