On Monday 15th February we had our first filming session. We decided to film first at Catford and get all the scenes that needed to be filmed there first. We went to the station at 10 and although it was a week morning and half term the station wasn't as busy as we thought it would be. There were only about ten people there at any one given time but this was still enough people to be a hinderance.
We filmed every scene loads of times and with the aid of our trusty clapper board, doing so was fun and easy to keep track of.
There were some people at the station that didn't want to be filmed so some of our takes had to be cut short. In other cases we had to wait around for people to pass by us before we could begin shooting.
In one shot where Abby (Katie) is coming out of the train station box office I had to go and stand on the other side of the junction so that the shot would be wide enough to fit in all of Katie's body, the box office, and some of the surrounding environment.
We nearly finished filming all of the scenes that needed to be filmed in Catford when the filming session was cut short because the battery died. This thwarted our filming schedule a little but we were still happy because we managed to achieve quite a lot.
Ultimately we are very happy with how much we were able to film and overall we believe it went very well.
