Filming Locations: First batch of narrative filming

David, Jaclyn, and I took the camera, and our actors Ellie and Chris out to the sea front, where we managed to get a lot of really cool shots.

LOCATIONS:
Whitley Bay Plaza

We chose to film here as it is quite a well lit area (we were filming at night), and not too many people were around. We had to frame the shots so that the hotel and building work in the background were not visible.

TJ's Arcade, Whitley Bay

The Amusements is an iconic setting in our town, and at night, when the neon signs are on, it looks really aesthetically pleasing. We filmed Ellie and Chris in here playing a piano game, and also walking down the street outside the Arcade.

Tyne Tees Entertainment, Whitley Bay

We really liked filming in the first arcade, but we couldnt find many games that allowed two players. We walked down the street to Tyne Tees Entertainment, and filmed Ellie and Chris playing space invaders. The classic game had been projected on a LCD screen, which made our footage look good as you could clearly see what was happening. We really liked the retro vibe this setting created.
