Central and south-west London. St James's Park and the Aldwych Theatre are the furthest east, Sunbury and Richmond the furthest west, with Barnes and Battersea being particularly important locations.NABOB OF NOWHERE wrote:Michael what area re Locations is explored?
We've recorded three commentaries together - this, Indicator's The Snorkel and Signal One's sadly still unreleased Nightmare Alley - and our working methods were pretty similar every time: we'd both individually do a ton of independent research, agreeing upfront which areas to focus on, and would then swap our notes 24 hours before the recording session. When we get together, we watch the film all the way through before recording anything so we can discuss a rough structure and earmark specific bits of the film for particular observations (some, obviously, are scene and even shot-specific, but more general stuff can go more or less anywhere, so it's good to work this out in advance), and only then do we sit down in front of microphones - Johnny's part of the room is festooned with taped-up sheets of printed A4, while I use an iPad with pre-loaded notes as a silent crib sheet. Since I edit and mix the end result myself, there's ample scope for retakes/rethinks - in fact, it's because I have complete control over the timing that it doesn't matter too much if we don't hit our marks perfectly during the recording session as that can always be adjusted later.
