The Filming of Detonation 180- Part 2

For the last scenes of our film we decided to shoot them at the picturesque Bluebell Railway so we spent the whole day at the station in Sussex to film these final scenes. Although the station was far away and involved a long journey we felt that it was worth the distance as the setting really benefits our film. This is because the Bluebell Railway is an old traditional station which still has the original old stations and steam trains which really provided a unique setting for us to film. The Bluebell Railway has also been a setting used by many professional films and tv series, for example the hit costume drama Downton Abbey has also used the railway to film some of there scenes. We felt that an ordinary train station would not have the same benefits that the traditional Bluebell railway had to offer, as it did not have the same atmosphere which fits well with the rural feel that was portrayed in the previous scenes that we shot at the village of Aylesford.

 In this image you can see the cast of Downton Abbey in the process of filming at the same location of Bluebell railway that we used to shot some of our scenes. We arrived at the Railway station and bought the tickets at the Sheffield Park station to the Horsted Keynes station which we were able to film the 'on train' shots with the benefit of our own carriage.
