I am writing this post now as I have just got in from filming this evening at 12:30 at night. So to start off. we started to film around 6pm and didn't stop until around an hour ago. The footage we got was mostly from under the King Edward bridge, we also filmed on the quayside itself. It was absolutely freezing!!! Nonetheless, here is a little condensed description of what we got.
We also finally got round to re-shooting the killing scene which we filmed near the metro stop in Jesmond which was a rather grotty subway. It would have been relatively quick to film. however Laura couldn't help but laugh while being strangled which was understandable given how tense this was to film. What I do know is that this will look more realistic than the rough cut attempt and will seem a lot more clear than the somewhat unclear previous version.
At King Edward bridge, most of the shots we got were for the drug dealing scene. We had to film this several different times from different angles and do multiple takes in case one wasn't good enough to use. We also did a lot of edgy walking shots, in which getting the lighting right was crucial as time was against us and the cold temperature meant that we wanted to get everything done as quickly as possible. We also had to wear some safety proven clothes in the shots where we were smashing bottles against a wall as we had to get dangerously close to the wall in order to have been able to capture it on camera.
At the Quayside, we shot some aesthetic based shots of Orrin walking along the riverside with the Millennium bridge in the background. This location is supposed to represent how he has finally come out the other side of addiction and is far happier for finally being able to give up his drug. This will create a calm ending to what is a very tense narrative.
Here are some photos from this shoot.
