We are aware that there are factors we cannot control. Unfortunately as it is a long way for us to all travel, so we only really had one chance to film, so time was not on our side.
We had to make sure we got all the shots before it got too dark, which was sort of a race against time because by the time we got there it was about four and being the middle of winter it was getting darker and darker, which made it a struggle to keep continuity.
That was not our only continuity problem, we realised half way through that half the time the door in the background was open and half the door was shut. We quickly learnt our lesson as was keeping an extra watchful eye out for possible continuity indiscretions.
We were very pleased that it rained on the day as it created the atmosphere we were going for, as we were very much inspired by seven and thought the constant rain was very effective and appropriate.
