On this day of the filming, we decided to record our opening thriller in the Barbican Centre. The reason for this was because we didn’t manage to get permission off Transport for London to do the filming in the Tube Station, and because our deadline was close; so we didn’t want to risk our chances by waiting for a confirmation and not producing the work by the deadline.
The Barbican Centre also seemed like an ideal place for filming, as it seemed quite attractive to the eye; it was an area where there were a lot of offices so we thought we can relate this to the seriousness of our “bag swap” with our suits and attitude toward the process.
We finally decided on the characters. Me and Teddy were going to do the bag swap, whilst David will be working with me to go after Teddy once he gets his bag. James will act as cameraman.
We kept the scenario the same where there are two men doing a bag swap, together with a 3rd man working together with one of the men, going after the other man after the bag swap happens.
We did a combination of shots – bringing as many types of shots into the filming as possible.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t do the shots such as the escalator shots in the Tube station as we had planned, but we compensated that with combinations of shots where I come down a set of stairs.
We couldn’t complete the filming that day. We had an issue of ice, where we would have to retake the film if the ice doesn’t stay there next time we carry on filming.
