Today

GOOD NEWS.
Athena, Lucy and I went out in our media lesson to try and film the Inglourious Basterds shot.
My doubts were confirmed: the wooden bits on the car park had poles in the middle of them so we couldn't slide the camera along.
However, we got Athena to walk below the bridge in the town and we tracked her from above, sliding the camera along at roughly the same pace as her walking.
The end product was a bit shaky but we really like it - we will probably re-do it so all is well.


BAD NEWS.
Today, Lucy, Athena, Josh and I attempted to shoot the lift scene of our film. Attempted being the subjective word here because we did try. And failed.
A security man with funny eyes asked us if we were filming, reminding us that it is a "private property". The others just left me to waffle our way out of it, which I successfully did. (You're welcome, guys.)

And so, the quest to find a lift that fits our requirements and doesn't have hawk-like guards protecting it like the dementors of Askaban continues:
One of our friends rang her dad, who's a police man, and asked him who we need to talk to about getting an Enfield Council permit to film in the precinct in the town. Apparently its free.. Raise the roof. We should be sorting that out this weekend so in the mean time, Team Mac One will be brainstorming about a few things:

- Production name - Athena suggested 'Shadow Play' which we all liked. I, for some reason, suggested translating "MURDER" into foreign languages to be subtle/funny/original/generally strange.
- Where/when we will be filming the bit where Athena and Josh bump into each other.
- Music - both bouncy/energetic and dark/sinister.

But we shall keep you updated!!
(Whoever "you" are..)

On a totally unrelated note, here's a cute kitten
