FILMING SCHEDULE

Friday 25th October
Collect equipment after 10am
Shooting practice

Sunday 29th October
I'll drive up to Manchester with the costume, lights etc.

Monday 28th October
Caroline, Milena, Tomas
   Bournemouth Coach Station to London Victoria Coach Station
   07:15 - 10:20

Siobhan will meet you in London after 11:00.

Waiting for the permit but it should be as follows:
You will be able to shoot on the Underground between the hours of 10:00-15:30.
I'll post more information when it has been confirmed but you will need to report to the Station Supervisor, I specified Tottenham Court Road station.

Caroline, Milena, Siobhan, Tomas
London Victoria Coach Station to Manchester Coach Station
17:30 - 22:12

Where I will pick you up and stay over at mine.

Tuesday 29th October
Caroline, Janine, Milena, Siobhan, Tomas
Bus shoot at Stagecoach Hyde Road
09:30-14:30
I'll drive us there, set up cameras.
3 actors arriving at 10:00 then these will leave with another set of 3 actors arriving.

I'll then drop you off at the train station, 5 minute drive.

Caroline, Milena, Siobhan, Tomas
Manchester Piccadilly Train Station to London Euston 
14:55 - 17:04

You will then shoot on the streets of London at sunset.
When it's dark, we film on the locations on the route me and Milena drew on the map.

Caroline is staying in London
Siobhan has a train ticket so is making her way back with that. (The closest in time to the coach is 23:05-01:52 from Waterloo but this requires a change in Southampton Central... so maybe the 22:35-00:21 from Waterloo which require no changes.)

Milena, Tomas
London Victoria Coach Station to Bournemouth Coach Station
23:30 - 01:40

Wednesday 30th October
Return equipment before 4/5pm


I'll be returning on November the 3rd at the latest and return the rest of the equipment by Monday.

Bus Filming

So we have a permanent record:
 
The bus company have confirmed Tuesday the 29th of October for us to film there.

It'll be a double decker bus, company Stagecoach.
We are only allowed to film inside the bus, which will be cordoned off outside in the rear yard at the Hyde Road Depot.

I need to double check the timings as he said something contradicting himself so I'll get back to you on that but it would approximately be 9/10-2:30. But they may be lenient with this with it being in the holidays.

But this means Milena can now confirm the London Underground shoot around this and then we'll be able to arrange transport.
