Sunday 25th, evening. 9.30pm. Laura and I board a bus heading into Bournemouth town centre. Carnage has descended upon the town, in the form of the UK's largest pub crawl and we have been nominated to film this little event. We find ourselves to be the only people that are lacking a carnage t-shirt and wearing more than next to nothing! As we not so subtly take to the streets armed with camera, tripod and microphone we are greeted by thousands of students all very willing to take part in our TV project.
We managed to gather some amazing shots of students dressed in the strangest of attire, adapting the theme of dirty doctors and naughty nurses in their unique ways! We got several good interviews with keen volunteers eager to tell us how good carnage is. However, when we approached anyone with any responsibility and authority linked with the running of the event, they refused to speak to us. Stewards and ambulance personnel informed us that they had been pre-warned by organisers not to speak to any press. Despite this we had a very successful night of filming.
