BBC Drama

Conor, Gavin and myself got the opportunity to go and watch the filming of a new BBC drama. We originally got the opportunity to go and meet the directors, Lighting Technicians and set co-coordinators on Monday the 7th March. They were filming in Harberton park, we spoke with the director and he asked us to be extras in the show and said we were welcome to come onto the set to try and develop new ideas for our own video "Game Over". We were invited back on Friday to a house in Finighy. We arrived on sat at 1:45 but due to adverse weather conditions they couldn't film outside so they rescheduled and did other filming. They said we couldn't take photos this early in production but when we are extras we can do interviews and take relevant photos regarding our film ideas. The main themes of the drama is retaliation, hate and pain. Unofficially it is based on Martin McGuinness. The highly estemed  James Nesbit is in the drama so it should be intresting to get to see it from the the other side of the screne.         

We were allowed to take a few photos of the vans and packing up.
