Film update and location for it

An update that on my film. I know I have spent a lot of time away preparing and writing my film. I know I have updated much on the process of it but I have been very busy. So starting from early on I have been spending a lot of time on the script and the research behind it and I have now wrote what is probably a fourth script. The reason for the several re-writes is to keep the piece tight and as I started to think about the actual process of shooting it, it started to become clear that it would not be that feasible to try and get permission to shoot in a nightclub like I wanted to, nor would it be easy to get permission to shoot in a takeaway especially when I will be using a generator to run the lights I will be using. After thinking this I looked at how I could get this to work within the film without losing the tone of what I am trying to say and I realised that all that is important in these scenes is the interaction between these two characters and I realised that all I had to do was still create an environment for them to interact in. So I decided that I could shoot the scene on a bench instead of a takeaway this way I can still retain the point of the scene without the need to create an awkward place to shoot the scene in. I also think that shooting on a bench means we can keep the shoot more simply without having to bounce between many locations which I was worried about with having lots of equipment to carry with me. Also changing the script to a bench meant that I could frame the scene between a bench and two street lamps that I had an image of. This also made potential lighting slightly simpler as I could use the street lamps to add some more lighting to the scene. This lessened the need for adding extra light. As well as removing the takeaway scene I also moved the nightclub scene outside meaning that I could theoretically shoot the nightclub scene in to an area that looks like the outside of a nightclub. So this also freed me some space to look for somewhere which would be easier to shoot as a nightclub and this led me to a great place in which I realised I could shoot nearly all the scenes of the film in one place. So the outside of a nightclub became the front of Hull New Theatre, the takeaway scene became a bench outside the theatre and the stairs scene moved from the centre of town to the same area which was just a small series of buildings which most were apartments but two next to each other were offices. I was lucky enough to catch somebody coming out of one of the apartments to ask him if he thinks it would be ok to film outside of them. He was very helpful and told us that due to being so close to the theatre, when they are moving the sets they do so loudly all night loading and unloading lorries so we should be fine filming there. This meant that we now had all the locations for the film and all within a small area perfect to help us set up and move about. It means we can spend less time travelling and moving everything about. I will leave some pictures of our locations below.
