This first picture shows rows upon rows of defences on the beach controlled by Colonel Moon. I can’t remember the exact names of these objects, however, Britain (and I’m sure many other countries) used them in the Second World War to guard of an invasion by sea. I presume that when filming commences barbed-wire will be inserted between the objects, that wouldn’t have been added just yet for safety reasons. Additionally, take a look at the concrete pillars. They are all brand new (no more than a month old) yet notice the clever ‘ageing’ effect on them. That’s a brilliant example of movie magic.

This second photo shows the same ‘defences’ from a slightly different angle. While this picture doesn’t highlight the enormous amount of objects constructed on the beach you should note the pylon on the left hand side of the image. It’s a large flood light that will be used for filming purposes. It could indicate many things, film crew wishing to film in ‘grey’ conditions (much like the type these photos were taken in) or that filming may take place at night. However, the truth is anyone’s guess right now.
