Issues For The Production Company During Production Phase? ( The boat that rocked )

Some filming of the film took place on a former dutch hospital ship called the Timor Challenger which was based Portland Harbour Dorset. This particular ship was used to film most of the outside scenes of the film on the boat. However to film the interior shots we see in the film there were two locations used in order to do this. First some of the interior shots were filmed in a warehouse in Osprey Quay on the Isle Of Portland and the other location used was at Shepperton Studios. They have warehouses to save money and time because if they were to try and move everything onto the ship it would have been a long and time consuming process which could cost them money. The casting of the characters was very significant because they casted very well known people from sucessfull films which in a way appeals more to audiences because they automatically think when big names are in a film it is going to be spectacular. The director of the film chose his cast very well and was looking for a particular texture in the actors to take something thats comedy to the limit without becoming fake. The films production cost exceeded 30 million which tells us that the film was very expensive to make and went well over the budget they had planned to stick to.
