Update on filming progress

Unfortunately, I have fallen behind on my filming schedule. I had planned to get the majority of the filming done over the half term week. The weeks leading up to half term there was no particular concern with the weather. And in fact it was quite nice weather. However, when the half term came, Britain encountered a storm called Jude. This was a very bad storm especially for the south west. However, in the midlands, this resulted in rain. And lots of it. This has meant some places in my local area were flooded, so getting to places that I wanted to get to was almost impossible. Especially when the actor has to travel to get to the locations that I have selected beforehand.

This is an extract from the BBC news website that was issued on 28^th October 2013- right in the middle of half term, after we have had a few days of rain already.

‘The Met Office said the predicted storm - named St Jude after the patron saint of depression and lost causes, whose feast day is on Monday - was not one "you would see every year".

It said 20-40mm (0.80-1.6 ins) of rain might fall within six to nine hours in the wettest areas.

It has issued an amber alert for high winds in Wales, the East and West Midlands, the South West, London and the South East and the East of England.

A yellow alert warning of heavy rain that could lead to surface water flooding and disruption is in place across much of northern Wales and northern England.

An amber warning means "be prepared", while yellow means "be aware". No warnings are currently in place at the top red level, which means "take action".

Forecasters said exposed coasts in Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Hampshire, West Sussex, East Sussex and Kent could face the strongest winds.’

 The days that I filmed in the holidays at the weekend, was Wednesday. This was the only day that it was nice enough to film. However, because of this, most of the film footage is rushed and not what I wanted, so a few more days of filming will need to be done.
