Today went very well. Although initially nervous and slightly unfocussed regarding the whole different location, the group very quickly relaxed into being in the green screen room. Edgar took his place, very stoically, on the camera dolly, and the gang used various hats and glasses to discuss different topics.
Andy Thorpe was extremely accommodating, and we managed to create some lovely scenes.
Amy’s birthday cake went down a storm, and Edgar had saved some bits and pieces of food from an event yesterday for the gang, which was a lovely thing to do. Very proudly, they almost all tried food they were unsure of, although the crab bites are still repeating on me now…
However, a short walk to the M & S exhibition [are we nearly there yet, how much further] ten minutes round the corner, and we looked at pants through the ages. I would like to revisit this a little in a small discussion next week if possible, so that the whole purpose is explained i.e. small business man with no money does good.
We all had lunch in the refectory, although we almost lost Lucy which the gang were concerned about, an unknown man magically seemed to fit the conversation I was having on the telephone with the one Lucy was having, to expose the fact that she was approximately four metres behind me.
Very interestingly, everyone, barring Stephen, said they felt as though they fitted in to the environment, and by the time we were walking out for taxis, Liam was rather enjoying being the group comedian.
I think this may be something to do with all the people surrounding them were of a similar age, although we could do with exploring this further.
The green screen, although not an immediate film format that Lucy or I would veer towards, had it’s benefits stretching far beyond the film structure. I also feel that the group have a great bond, and have integrated Amy, Stephen and Brandon right in.
