The Final Explosion
For each shoot, I both filmed and edited the clips, whilst Tom helped, and was interested in the making of the explosion.

I have a strong connection to the Lancashire Militia, having done some film and photography work for them previously. As they have all the necessary safety and legal licenses to create petrol explosions, they frequently are used to create explosions for professional bodies such as the BBC and a wide variety of feature films. They also perform historical reenactments on a national level.
Tom, Abi and I went to their base in Haslingden, and recorded three petrol bomb explosions on Sunday at 11am. Whilst it was light, we wanted to see Clare's face when falling. Below is the first explosion shoot.
Ted suggested to us that the explosion would look much better in the dark, and we agreed, so we were invited to film the explosion again the next night. So on Monday night we went to Haslingden again to film the explosions. This time, having looked at other films with actors running away from explosions, we decided that we did want Clare running away and then the explosion to go off. Below is the second, and final explosions.
