21/03/2011 Log (Police Incident)




In the process of filming our opening sequence, many citizens were intrigued in what we were doing and approached our scene. In fact, they thought that is was real and that there was actually a forensic team and detective investigating a murder. Many people were looking out the windows of their homes and people walking their dogs came over to see what was going on. It was so realistic that people started to call the police. An undercover police came over to our scenery and started questioning us, asking us 'what is going on here?' and asking us why he hasn't been informed about the case. We told him that what we were doing was for our AS media coursework and that none of this was real. He then told us that he thought it was a real situation and that people were calling the police headquarters reporting a murder. He told us that in future we should call the council and the police and get permission to do this before we begin filming on free land. One thing we didn't consider was how people would react when filming, and people did react as expected. However, we overcame this problem by filming our opening sequence in a more secluded part of tooting bec common.
