Production Log : Week 5

WHAT I HAVE ACHIEVED THIS WEEK AND HOW I AM APART OF IT:
This week we hadn't been able to film anything. Unforeseen circumstances came up and therefore restricted our filming time.

HOW DOES THIS FIT IN WITH THE PRODUCTION SCHEDULE?
It didn't, it was extremely inconvenient. We were planning to film on the Tuesday of that week but when we weren't able to, finding space to clear to film was near to impossible.

WERE THERE ANY PROBLEMS?
Yes. The main problem was the electrical fire in Hackney, which was extremely unexpected. The basement had been dampened and therefore the electricity had caught on, sparking a flame and therefore firing up the whole of the downstairs basement, which is where we were planning to film. By the time the fire had spread enough so that it would be humanely impossible for us to film inside of it. Our backup which was also in Hackney, also got sold therefore it wasn't in the state we needed it to be in for us to film. Our back up to that was a crypt, which also got dampened by the sudden storms and therefore they stated that  the ceiling was sure to collapse on us.

HOW DID YOU OVERCOME THEM?
After checking all of the back up places, my stepdad who is a policeman, offered to email the Metropolitan Police to request to use their station, which they said they didn't want any logo's or cars involved in the shots therefore they would have to get back at them.

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK?
To secure a location to film in - preferably somewhere spacious and that we could spend quite a bit of time in.
