On-set with Gone to Ground: Week Two, Taking Shape.

9/9/2019

 
​Readers of our last news item will remember that Rachel Stephens recently left City Eye to work on Phil Peel's feature film ‘Gone to Ground’.  Rachel has been updating us with news from behind the scenes.  We are a little late sharing this report from week 2 -so stand by for week 3, coming soon!

​In Rachel's Words...

We began the second week with two days of late shoots filming outside of a farmhouse in Wiltshire into the early hours of the morning. I think the most challenging aspect of the night shoots was the wind, rain and cold. Despite the weather though we captured some great looking shots for a critical moment in the film. 

During the week all of the crew helped to set-up another key moment of the film, involving a car accident, which took a lot of teamwork to pull off but it looks amazing and we are all really looking forward to shooting with the wrecked car in our third week.
 
This second week of production also saw the arrival of actor Alan Breck taking on the role of Guy. Having Alan here has meant we’ve been able to film scenes between two of the main characters and it has been great to watch Alan and co-star Melissa De Mol work the scenes together.
​
Although there is still over a week left and more script to cover, it really feels like the film is starting to take its shape and I can see a glimpse of what Gone To Ground is going to be when production is complete.
