Production Update

In my last post I stated that I would be filming two of my scenes after school hours. At 15:15 I was going to being taking pictures of the scene where the audience first see Jimmy and Arthur’s relationship but unfortunately this could not go ahead as Khabeer (playing Arthur) was given a one hour compulsory study on the morning of the shoot day.

Later on at approximately 16:00 I was going to be taking pictures of the scene where Jimmy is visiting his biological father’s grave. However, again this could not go ahead as my mum had a meeting until 16:15 and so could not travel to Hale Crematorium. The scene will take place at this particular crematorium as this is where my past relatives are and I know for certain it has the words “IN MEMORY OF A LOVING DAD” written on the headstone. Unfortunately the crematorium closes at 16:30 and therefore I was unable to complete the task of taking the pictures of this scene.

I have spoken to Oliver (playing Jimmy) and we have decided to do this scene tonight, Friday 7^th November, at 15:30. Additionally, I will travel to Manchester City Centre and take pictures of the landmarks within Manchester. 

Friday 7^th November

Grave scene: Jimmy is visiting biological father

This scene will be done when the weather is miserable and the lighting is very dark because I want this to show pathetic fallacy. This is when the weather reflects the mood so in context to this scene Jimmy is feeling very low and heartbroken therefore the weather/ lighting will have to be dreadful and dull. 

Saturday 8^th November

Jimmy moves to Manchester
