Shane Meadows Runs Out Of Petrol

Also posted it on the Shanemeadows.com forum!

Got a response from my cousin, its interesting to hear an interviewees experience.

"It wasn't anything very special, but a researcher and a camera man came round to the house one afternoon and spent a few hours filming and asking questions. All a bit over the top for the few minutes of footage but I suppose that's how it goes! They filmed me answering a few questions posed by the reasearcher and then asked me to repeat the answers so they could get it from a different angle - I don't think the answers were at all similar the second time around tho! I had been told it would just be someone with a camcorder but they did bring a big camera and even one of those big furry microphones, although I think that only helped pick up the sound of planes flying overhead."

Im going to email him and find out if researchers got in touch with him and how they filmed his actuality and sequences.

Having now completed my adapted shot list and script I'm ready to shoot on Thursday. Yay!

I hope we can pull off our films better than this man:





He's even wearing the director's cap!
