Today we we went for what will hopefully be the last shoot in Castle Market. In order to complete our poetic piece we needed to film the market opening up, mainly in order to catch the traders setting up their stalls. Since we've spent a lot of time there over the last two weeks we managed to get relatively friendly with the security staff, this has been a massive help as its through them that we managed to arrange an early morning shoot. We were told that the first traders arrive at around 4am, we got there for 3.30 and started setting up. This gave us the invaluable opportunity to play with the lights before anyone came to start work and the results look great. It provides the perfect opening to the poetic piece, a slow track through the centre of the empty market as the fluorescent lights start to flicker into life. Following this we stuck around for a bit, capturing cut aways to be used in our ten minuet film. When it hit 4.30 traders began to arrive at which time we once again set up the track and managed to capture them setting up the stalls. With this on film I feel we now have a well rounded journey through the different stages of the market, from lights on to lights off and everything in between.

Below are a few images captured within castle market during the wee-hours.
