We filmed at the former Mercedes-Benz garage at Winterstoke Road near Leigh Woods. The site in which we filmed was blocked by a gate but we managed to climb over with ease. It was unknown whether we would get in trouble for trespassing into the abandoned site but luckily no one was around and there were no cameras in the vicinity. Finding another abandoned building would be a huge blow to our schedule so we had to make this one work. An issue that would put us in a lot of trouble would be the prop gun that we're using looks incredibly realistic and if a member of the public saw then we could have been arrested so luckily that didn't happen but we did take a lot of precautions to avoid that scenario. However due to the danger of being at the abandoned site, we were also pressured by time therefore we didn't take as long as we hoped to film all the shots we wanted. But the most essential shots were taken and the finished product should look fine without it.
There were times where we had to do a few takes because Ewan or Tyler wouldn't be able to say their lines properly or the traffic was too loud in the background. Also there is a POV continuous sequence that occurs at the end of the scene which was difficult to do because you would need to hold the camera whilst holding a gun and have it so the gun lines up with the camera. I also needed to keep the camera steady when I was walking so that took quite a few takes too. But I'd say we managed to film it all very efficiently considering the amount that we had to film. I reckon that this is only slightly longer than filming in the cafe scene because there were so many variables in the environment.
I think the lighting would need to be edited afterwards because the scene needs to be slightly darker to reflect the mood and atmosphere. It's still undecided what else needs to be added to the clips we've filmed because we need to film the forest scenes for it to all make sense. We're going to have to edit the sound to cut out some of the background noise. We'll also need the clips to be edited for us to make a judgement on what works or not.
Here's a behind-the-scenes picture:
