The Main Location

The main Location for Blackout is set at Windsor and Eaton riverside station. We specifically chose this location when we first came up with the idea for Blackout. One of the main reasons we orginally chose the Train Station is due to the timelapse we have at the beggining of our opening. We wanted to have the tramp sat there busking away while trains came and went signifying that he has been busking there for a long period of time. The station is very much still in use and therefore very publicly open. We had to therefore write a letter to SouthWest trains asking for permission to film. We was lucky enough to be allowed to film.

Filming at the station obviously brought about some risks when filming. Obviously there will be trains cmoing and going and stay well clear of the platform edge was a majour risk.
