Criminology Additional shoot 29th April

More blood, More Blood!

 Kyle, Matty and myself went back out into the abandoned streets to shoot a couple of cutaway extra shots for Criminology. Whilst not essential to the finished production, it was decided to shoot them to give Jodie more options whilst editing the street assault scene.

Matty dressed as the security guard again and sported a face full of fake blood that he had made whilst he lay on the floor blood spattered. Kyle donned a red boiler suit whilst standing over him with the baseball bat. As only his legs would be in shot, it was unnecessary to call out the actors again.
We also took a couple of close-ups of the bat dripping blood into a small pool of the fake blood. The final cutaway shot that we took here was of the remaining pot of blood being splashed against the wall for the initial attack, however the gooey blood was quite difficult to control and unfortunately missed the intended camera framing. With no more blood to replace it we left the location to get Matty cleaned up who was a right bloody mess.

The streets just aint safe any more.

Once Matty was scrubbed we proceeded on to the Grand Hotel who had given us permission to film at the rear of the building (as establishing shots to represent the Penopticon). There is a large lovely bay window with stained glass and fire escapes in the court yard. We set about dressing the walls with posters but the area was very busy with staff and deliveries and we abandoned the location once we realised that we were not going to get the shots that we wanted. So we headed out to the Headland and back to the old council buildings as an alternative. We took shots of the exterior and a couple shots of old walls with Criminology posters on them to finish the day.
