The Filming of Detonation 180 Part 2 continued

Here is but a small selection of some of the photographs that I took during the day of filming at Bluebell Hill railway. We decided to include these images as it shows some of the locations we used and shows of the beauty of the station that we used to film. Our day of filming was successful and we were able to get all the shots that we hoped to capture but also a few extra scenes that we felt would be beneficial to our film. We had to work out timings of the trains which meant a lot of waiting around for the right opportunity, for example the train leaving the station was a shot that really wanted to capture because these trains do not run as often as those in your typical station we had to wait but luckily we were able to film this scene which turn out very effective.

The pictures below is of one of the stations that we used 'Horsted Keynes' this station is the oldest of the two and really provided a great setting.

Here are some photographs of the train in which we travelled in and used to film inside as the character boards the train and takes 'his' seat on the train. As you can see it was a traditional steam train which meant we had separate carriages and also were able to capture the sound of the old train chugging along the track which was effective in creating an atmosphere. Another benefit is that the old carriage had window, which we were able to open and film out of which created a different angle and perspective.
