Once again unfortunately we have to change the place of the second shooting location. This is due to how terrible the weather is being for us with nasty wind and rain. Definitely not a good idea to shoot outside then, considering we will break equipment and make our actors extremely ill with pneumonia. God obviously didn't hear our pleas and decided to open his flood gates anyway.
Luckily then Alice (producer) managed to grant us permission to shoot in The Graves Gallery in no time. Our original location was Weston Park which would of been great as it was an exterior location which made a change from the interior scenes inside the bar. It would of given us more freedom, space and a chance to be creative with the shots but also would of allowed us to capture aesthetically beautiful shots of lakes, flowers and all that kind of stuff.
Also, I would of liked to of shot outside if it was possible (annoying weather!) because as scriptwriter I set the scenes where Jack and George was talking and imagining different scenarios because i wanted it to be a metaphor of Jack's psyche. Here he is outdoors with his boyfriend and free, the outdoors resembling his mind of him thinking he is free, opposite of being indoors with his father feeling trapped.
However, being visual arts director also I am extremely looking forward to shooting in The Graves Gallery as it contains brilliant large historic paintings on the walls. Which I think works brilliantly with the Wes Anderson, retro 70's vibe we want, so its not the end of the world to be honest.
Our only worry is that The Graves Gallery is very echoey but Stephen (Sound) is confident that he can work on minimising the reverb when editing.
