Night Is Day : Episode 3

Fraser Coull has finished the final touches to Night Is Day Episode 3.

Following on from Episode 2 (suprise!), this part introduces new characters, including Amy’s (Shian Denovan) college newspaper editor (Karen Barkte), which Amy writes for, Emma Healy (Louise) and Vivien Taylor (Sarah) - both friends of Amy’s. They decide to have a night on the tiles (technically called a girls night out) as Amy is distracted by her relationship with Jason (Chris Somerville) and her work. Things then go from bad to worse.

This episode stands out as being a lot more professionally shot. The lighting, both interior and exterior, is a lot better than previously, and makes the camera shots and direction shine from the screen. As this part of the story takes place during the night, there are some nice shots of Glasgow, and they reminded me of the skyscraper night shots which Michael Mann (Collateral, Miami Vice) is fond of.

With the introduction of more characters, the story has arced slightly, become broader, and thankfully, the writer hasn’t tried to cram all characters into one episode.

I believe that the editing is better this episode too, as there seems to be a lot more crammed into the 15 minutes or so of viewing.

One thing which made me laugh is the shop in Glasgow called ssoM. (See if you can spot it).
