Drunkern monkeys and police camera action!

Last night was lets say interesting...

It started off very quiet as 9:30pm isn't really the time to see a lot of drunk people but gave us time to set up and have a nosey around..oh and also get threatened by a drunk middle aged woman. I felt frightened and did not really expect that reaction when filming last night on the streets.

After 50 minutes of filming, which I didn't understand why we filmed that much but I recorded as the Director needed to capture the night progress to actually becoming quite lively. We got a typical drunk dressed up as a monkey, a couple of waves and the typical guys running at camera.

A bonus was getting to film in the policemans car whilst interviewing him, this was hard because the first two times he got called to split up fights. We wanted the Director to ask the questions to the policeman so his eyeline was at him, but he had confidence in us. It made it harder as the soundman was in the back which meant he didn't know quite where to look and we had so limited time it would have been good with the extra pair of hands. Still glad shooting is over and definitely never expected to be threatened by a middle aged woman I must admit.

And it happens again..

From the all go ahead last night I was excited to finally get access into the club, but last minute Carrie called to say the Girls were tired. At first, it was gutting with all our hard work and another delay, but on the plus side we have arranged to film tomorrow evening when they are open. FINGERS CROSSED!!!

First cancellation on Young and Pissed, we had organised with the director to film monday evening in the streets but due to how hard it has been to gain access in the club we could not miss this opportunity. Luckily the director was fine as he realised we could film on the thursday evening, which works out better due to a student pub crawl thats been organised. But other than monday evening, we're free to film..just hoping the filming goes smoothly!!

Spoons for cutaways!

Had my first encounter with filming in a pub this evening. However Falmouth is very student based and Saturday isn't a night that we would get the most students, so didn't think it was quite the best choice of evening but I have no problem with shooting when needed.

Still needing a script to help me out, and need some support from the Director. At first I was worried about what we were meant to be shooting as I got a confused look and didn't really know what he wanted when asking what to shoot but did get some ideas after discussing it which helped to get some good cutaways. Did get a lot of interest from locals asking about the camera so have to not be rude but make sure they don't distract me.

Have managed to get hold of Carrie from Central Chambers and will be filming tomorrow night in the club, fingers crossed!!
